- Опубліковано 29 чер 2020
- Our urban exploration of an overgrown and remarkably well preserved granite quarry in the White mountains of New Hampshire, with a full history and closed captioning. This one of a kind frozen in time industrial site has everything left behind, and is filled with abandoned equipment and buildings since falling from use some 70 years ago. We explore its history and how the unique stone of the mountain has helped build many of the greatest historic monuments of America today.

Thank you for joining us on the new exploration and I hope you’re all having a great week. We used a new camera at this location, so please do let me know any thoughts you have on Camera 1 vs. Camera 2 or if you know anything about the many rusting machines we found on the trip!
Where in the whites is this?
If you read the stone, it tells you. But check Rt 302
What was the name of the town, and where is the cemetery?
@@carolohare8059 Do you live in New Hampshire?
That's a cool video but whoever was chewing gum while filming , I think cam 2 ,
That about drove me up a wall ...lol
It's crazy how much nature takes back after only 70 years.
Nature heals easily. Sadly, Man destroys even faster.
I'm surprised that whats standing is still there.
Right? Because in the big picture, 70 years is just a blink of the eye...
In the Netherlands, you have to clean up your mess before you leave or sell it. In America you can just leave everything behind and you call it... Move on.... So you have to take AT literally. Who pays for the clean-up costs?
What a great exploration & interesting history behind it! The toilets in the bathhouse were made by Joseph A. Vogel Company of Wilmington, Delaware during the early 1900s, and were designed to be used in unheated or heated areas due to the drain trap being below the frost line to prevent freezing. There were cylindrical tanks attached to each toilet. The toilets were flushed by raising the seats after use, which opened the valves to let water into the bowls. They were mainly installed in basements, outside industrial bathrooms, industrial buildings, park bathrooms, & some school houses. Very few of these toilets are in operation and use today.
Thank you for that but of background. I was trying to discern if they were 1900s or 1800s and that clears it up. Very interesting. Thank you!
@@DesertifyUrbex You’re welcome. There is a video of one of these Vogel toilets in operation on John Toilet’s UA-cam channel. It’s pretty cool the way these work. I install, replace, & repair toilets for a living and have UA-cam channel devoted to this. I love older houses & buildings, vintage plumbing fixtures, old cars and trucks, & abandoned building explorations. Anything with a history behind it is particularly interesting to me.
@@DesertifyUrbex Also , your video was well done & professionally narrated. I really enjoyed it. As a result, you now have a new subscriber
@@MrBrombomb The bathrooms are a little less covered usually, so glad I could being that. I had wondered if you had training in the plumbing or restoration fields.
@@MrBrombomb That's great. Hopefully some new content on the way for you when we get set up after our big move :)
Duuuude great video. I loved the backstory of this American town. Amazing how nature will just swallow it all.
Thank you! For a small place, it has an inspiring story with a few lessons. I appreciate you exploring it with us!
They knew what caused it
Yay...another new video. Thanks 💕💕💕
My pleasure!
Like the historical backgrounds of these old forgotten places
Thank you! It is our goal to add more than just a visual explore and go deeper to tell the story of each lost place. Glad you're enjoying the project.
Watched this today. I’m an artist, my mind ran wild with all the left machinery which could be used for sculpture what an awesome place. Thank you. ❤
Welcome! It is one of a kind. We did not include all the machinery even, there is quite a lot.
It's great to watch content along with historical context ... it makes it exponentially more interesting! Highly enjoyable.
Thank you so much! I should in the future have another explore of an even more amazing quarry I've been working on. It's great to hear the extra elements are appreciated, it's something exploring often overlooks.
wow. never for a second thought how they got all the stone for the old buildings. amazing to see it.
Thank you!
Never knew this was here. As soon as this snow is gone I'm gonna go check it out. Thanks. I love old quarries! Been to most in Vermont already. Theres gotta be a bottle dump near by! You get down in there and you can find some pretty sweet old glass bottles.
Have fun! I bet you there is a big one :)
Did you ever find this place?
Thanks for the detailed virtual tour!
And thank you for watching and exploring with us!
Great adventure. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for exploring it with us!
For a while locals were stealing metal out of there and selling it to the junkyards. After that they got a lot stricter about watching the area. The meter box is probably cameras. There are/were signs around the area saying no trespassing, though officials told me that it's fine to explore the area, the signs were to aid in prosecuting thieves and vandals. There is a lot out there, this video missed a lot, yet also showed me things I hadn't found. I was raised in Conway. Spent most of my life there. I stumbled upon Redstone quarry about 10 years ago while mountains biking.
That is a constant worry at abandoned sites and why I avoid naming them. Glad the damage to the site eventually stopped.
Why would any care if scrappers are hauling away junk ??
Scrappers are helping clean up the place .. all of that had been abandoned.. its not stealing
Great video. Very interesting the machinery left was very cool. I like things like this. Enjoyed it a lot thanks
Thank you for checking it out. We are now in an area with tons of scenery and abandoned industry lie this, so you may see much more!
Fascinating explore! Thanks so much! Definitely Camera 1. Camera 2 gives me a headache. Thanks for the great vids!
My pleasure, and thank you for that. Camera 2 is the new one we sunk some bills into. I think it suffers from fisheye possibly.
@@DesertifyUrbex Yeah, that seems to be the problem for me anyway.
Great explore! Thank you for sharing :)
My pleasure :)
We live about an hour from this area and drive by it several times a year. Never knew this was here. Looking forward to checking it out. Thanks for sharing. New sub👍🏻
That is awesome. Glad to share the story and enjoy the views up there :)
Where is this I live in Massachusetts and would like to explore.
Truly amazing...maybe the last recording as this town fads in the woods...great find and a interesting documentary...well done thank you for sharing
Thank you so much!
Completely mesmerized at 28:30. The sunken equipment... Wow. Awesome location man. If the trees could talk.. huh? Very cool 👍
Thanks! I've never seen anything quite like it myself.
That was a long one.
Sorry about your Grampa.
Mine worked in the Pennsylvania coal mines for most of his life.
He was 78 when he passed away though.
Great footage!!💚🌹🍀
Wow, a long life considering the hardships! My grandfather was also a lumberjack and was known to have a few so there were other factors. I figured I'd share this one as it's very different from my past locations :)
Cool. I know exactly where this is. Mountain bike trails run right through it.
Exelente video 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 me encantó
Thank you!
I enjoyed this video very much. Production is well done and giving us the opportunity to see the history of this quarry is so amazing! I like camera 2 - kind of feels like I’m viewing through 3D glasses. Good job, I will subscribe to your channel!
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed!
So many places that I had no idea were around! Lots of trips next summer
That's awesome. I hope you enjoy them!
Those weren't mine carts, those weren't wheels, those were belt pullys for a line shaft system, and rest of that looked to be a steam engine, that was a stationary steam engine that only drove belts that would power machinery, metal working, wood working, or stone working. The belts turned a steel shaft, that shaft had a pulley anywhere there was a large machine needing power, the shaft spun continuously and you had to tension the belt to your machine to turn it on,one steam engine could power 20 different machines at same time this way.
I worked at a railroad roundhouses museum and our steam engine powered the blacksmith shop, and carpentry shop. One steel driveshaft ran through 4 buildings in a row.
Very interesting. Thank you for the explanation.
I've been reading a book titled Abandoned New England by William F. Robinson which has been interesting so I figured I'd watch your video. Excellent job and thank you for sharing!
Wow, the timbers used to make that Carpenters building still look as strong as
they were when the building was constructed.
It is amazing how long older craftsmanship can last. Many mansions we explore have these beams even after 50 years, compared to a modem wooden house than can collapse in just 30. I often wonder how long our architectural legacy will outlast man. My guess is not much of anything modern will remain for others to find.
Yeah you might be able to level it up and restore it.
Great commentary on the history of this ghost town! Great footage!
Thank you!
Love this vid. Didn't care much for camera 2 though. It was like it had a fish eye lens and things looked distorted. Amazing video. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you! For refernce it is a GoPro 8 Hero Black. It's pretty crazy how it is much worse than a cheapo competitor.
I love stuff like this. The water area was pretty impressive. Sad about the hotel though
Thanks! I used to swim in a less interesting quarry that had rusted submerged machinery. Not sure I would swim in this one though. Too much tetanus lol.
Hell yes another sick location I can check out
It's a great hike. Defo check it out if in the area.
So cool!
Thanks!
Enjoyed this a lot Thanks
Thank you for exploring it with us Bessie!
Great video boss! So much to look at. The meter was digital which was very odd for it being there for so long. I’ve lived in my current house for 15 years and we have a digital one on the side of the house. This has got to be one of the coolest explorations you’ve done domestic in a while.
It's a weird place. The meter really had me confused as well. I saw no sign of a building of its age. Thanks man.
@@DesertifyUrbex A digital running meter in the middle of a forest with no apparent source? Lucy, you have a lot of explaining to do...
@@Praetoria113-zm3no I pretty much have to go back and figure out where the lines are going now...When I'm back stateside. Keeps popping into my head.
@@DesertifyUrbex Please do. What if there are people being held captive in a secret underground bunker? Scary 😮
@@DriveIn15 You really never do know!
Really enjoyed that. Such a lot to see. It’s sad to see it in bits and pieces. Thanks so much for taking me along. I really didn’t notice a difference between cameras sorry. Please stay safe
Thanks Linda!
That carpentry building is in an amazingly good shape for being abandoned 70 years!! What is the roof made of?? That's some durable material!!
Cool video, like the enigmatic response to the “where is this” questions!
You may be the first to appreciate that! I have seen so many places tagged up, burned or looted that it's a rule for me to not name or give any directions to a place. Places like this are a fast dying breed.
We went here last summer and we were able to follow 2 people to the remains but on the way back we walked a few miles in the wrong direction because we took the wrong trails. We eventually found the railroad tracks and walked them back. Was still a fun adventure.
That's very cool. I do hope more see this, and appreciate it as it's a unique place with so much to see. Sounds like quite the adventure!
please tell me where this is, i want to go explore with my friend
@@stm2fr Redstone quarry in conway NH, I think it's within a mile or so of the walmart
thank you so much bro@@danberry5193
Good video keep them up
Thanks mate!
Great place , so much to see although scattered around. In Cornwall UK where I live we have old Cornish tin mines, one of which is still working, also we have a lot of old quarries for the Cornish granite . We also have a place St Austell there you can see places processing China Clay. I recently sold my property and lost 80k because of a mining feature under my conservatory. The feature would need under pinning to make it safe 😡 As places are riddled with old mines you need to have a mining survey before purchasing
That must be great. I have quite a few spots like that marked off in Cornwall for the day I make it there. Some places in the US have similar mining issues with subsidence or sink holes. Horrible you had to deal with it and that they can casually leave the areas so unstable.
Where exactly is this place?
Those compressors at 35:00 minutes are fascinating. The presence of the 2 boilers would indicate that they are steam powered. However, I googled the name on the side of the casing "Chicago Pneumatic" and found several similar images that said they were diesel. I would think there would be a large engine that would have driven the lathes and machining equipment. Most of those machines appeared to have drive pulleys that would have large belt going to a line shift being driven by a steam or oil powered engine. Awesome video!!
That is wild you noticed the name and found that. Very different from what I had thought. Given the date it closed, they maybe replaced older ones in that case. Very interesting and thank you!
@@DesertifyUrbex I had to hit pause a few times as well as go full screen. Not sure which camera that was but it was able to clearly capture the name plate. I'm sure there are some antique equipment collectors that would haul them out if they could do so legally.
@@bg45420 Definitely why I've been low key on passing the name out, as scrappers have chopped up some of the equipment already.
Cool
Great story, great explore and great singing ( i only lied once :-) )There were very nice things left like the old machines, saw things i have never seen in a existing quarry.That was a very big operation too bad it is almost gone now.The colors from camera 2 were a bit brighter i think, dont know if it is better in dark places tho. Have a great week and thnx for a very nice video.
Thanks Rolf! It seems to be a one of a kind sort of place. I do wish the hotel wasn't recently demolished, as that would have been a video of material by itself. Glad to share :)
Amazing how the paint held up on the trim wood of the building
That was a surprise to me as well. Of all things, it's intact.
@@DesertifyUrbex keep the videos coming i can't get out and about anymore but I love old history especially from America
@@milla698 I have a bunch more stashed and ready to do of old US locations and then will likely be covering some old industrial european areas.
It's awsome😢
Impressive
Really interesting vid. Makes you realise how fragile things can be. Iain. UK
Thank you. Doing these always instills a sense of life being transient as well as place. In a way it helped us move across the world. I think life is about experiences and that is why the stories of who lived in these locations is so important.
@@DesertifyUrbex Agreed. I once read an interview with a famous tv/radio presenter here in the UK, Sir Terry Wogan - a very perceptive chap, who sadly passed away in 2016. On the transitory nature of fame, success and life, he said 2 things that I have always remembered:
1) 'Who talks with Napoleon now? Nobody.
2) 'Never forget that the wind will blow away your footsteps in the sands of time'
Cheers. Iain
The poor young lad, singing "Flower of Scotland," is like myself, a tard tone deaf! lol,, This was a very interesting olace, and it is amazing to see that Mother Nature has claimed it back, and made it part of the scenery again! I found camera 2 a little disorientating, and found that people seemed smaller and plumper, but my eyesight is not what it once was, so therefore it will suit younger viewers a lot bettter than me! However camera 2 was showing some surfaces in better detail than number 1! So, I will not make up my mind, about which one is better till I have seen it used more often. As always, you have studied the history and background of the venue, and for me, thay adds to my enjoyment! Some of those sunken quarries looked really dangerous, and I thought that I saw some frog-like creatures swimming just under the surface of their water filled spaces! Thankyou once again for entertainig an old crone like myself, and keep up the good work my young friends.................old Tich.
I think he might have benefited from a brew or two last song lol. I think you are spot on there. I noticed distortion on 2 as well, and the fisheye effects. I think you're right on the frog, there seemed to be some loud bull frogs further out. Can't wait to be back in Scotland, even if I travel the mountains for now :)
@@DesertifyUrbex You are both very, very welcome, and I hope that the day will dawn very soon! You are both excellent in the manner of making brilliant watchable videos, and actually do a better job, than most of my fellow Scots do, in doing justice to videos here in Scotland! Haste ye back, and I pray that it is soon!.......................................old Tich.
My oldest sister couldn't carry a tune in a golden bucket, but she enjoys it so we let her.
I just found your page and it’s awesome 😊
Thank you!
What a great place...there's a place on the way to n from my chiropractor we saw few weeks ago never seen it before till then haha wanna go but haven't had a chance...when we go I'll get a few pics it's off a major road n mature took it over haha but we're determined to go haha can't wait to see the 3 ghost towns🙂
Awesome. It's how we all start!
@@DesertifyUrbex gonna wait to see what doc says first then go from there lol even have my birthday on hold till I see him lol will share pics if I get to go soon just keep in mind I'm no photographer😂
Great mountain bike spot
Hi, so on camera one, the audio is clearer and you hear more and the picture is sharper with the colours nice and vivid and it is good in low light. Camera two which I think is your normal camera the audio isn't as good it seems a bit muffled and there is a static noise you can hear and you can also hear when the camera settings are being clicked every time too. I am going with camera one as my favourite. A fantastic find with so many pieces of machinery and buildings left behind. Thank you for sharing. x
Thank you Sue! Those are the exact things I need. Camera two is the new one and seems to have a fisheye issue, but other advantages you list. This is a tough one. I am curious just how much we missed on this trip as the woods seemed full, and we had to stop wandering from thing to thing to focus on some main parts.
@@DesertifyUrbex Maybe a second trip is in order ??. I dislike is the fisheye lense as with my menieres disease it does make me feel dizzy and sick but because it's you I still watched 😉. I did state camera 2 is my favourite when I meant to say one, all changed now on my original comment. x
What a fascinating explore. It was enjoyable from beginning to end and your personal history was mind blowing! Thanks for that.
Your explores are always wonderful, keep up the good work🙏
Thank you Vickie! The mountains seem to be a recurring feature this Summer, so lots more coming from them I think :)
We got a ton of these places around New England. Most of them died out due to the industrial age. Everyone moved to the cities.
I loved the composition of your video. The history overlays were perfect. I agree with a few and prefer camera 1. Camera 2 is like an amusement park ride. Love your work !
Thank you so much Debra :) Apeman cams while they have a bizarre name, are great.
Sonic Youth; that's some old ass graffetti. I'm glad you didn't fall down any mineshafts. 😅
Wow, did not see that one. Got to be a good 30 years lol.
That's the first thing I noticed on that first building. They were partying there in the 80s and 90s
How amazing would it be to restore that carpentry building into a home? The place is in great shape. I'd love living out there among all the vintage machinery.
It certainly is. All the beams were still solid and it could be saved. Hopefully somebody will have that vision. Thanks for exploring it with us.
That utility pole with meter on it !! And it's a fairly modern digital one to boot !! Has to be charged "hot" from somewhere....I would definitely investigate it further.
I will have to return when back in the USA. Hopefully the secret bunker will remain to be discovered.
Wow this is really good , i mean like very good .. Now i can't really tell you which camera is better for image quality , but the images appear a little bit darker with camera #2 not very darn much but it's clear and sharp with excellent colors .. I had no idea about this site or had ever read about it ..
The machines are massive and i've been around old logging equipment that's massive in my time , but polishing granite on the site , what a huge task that had to have been ...Very well done everyone on this video .. Excellent history beyond any doubt ..
I really appreciate that Norman. You may be enjoying what is on the way. I've moved across the sea to an area with lots of old industrial ghost towns, mines and other similar places I will be doing more histories on. When I found this place and realized how poorly it's story bad been preserved I had to do something special for it. Thank you for exploring it with us.
@@DesertifyUrbex Thank you i will watch for it for sure .. I love history like this , some history books just don't say it or there is no history at all , just vanished .. Good camera work i can see is done .. You have moved across the sea to obtain more history .. You are doing the right thing ..
@@normanmallory2055 Hopefully so. There are some mind-blowing sites around here. Hopefully the virus allows it.
I've been to a couple of quarries around Milford. Manchester had one on top of McIntyre Ski area. But was filled in. I was to chicken to jump into it when I was in highschool.
That Stone Pillar was most likely a Foundation for another Derrick used to move Cut Stone. It had the Remanent of a Ladder clearly visible. The piece with the large Flat Rollers where the Mine Carts were was probably the Draw Works that operated the Mine Carts. The Flat Rollers were where the Draw Works was powered with wide Leather Belts being turned by large Stationary Steam Engines. The Draw Works probably powered a Chain Line that the Carts attached to to move them down Rails VERY SIMILAR to the Trolley Car System on Knob Hill in San Francisco
That makes a lot of sense with the ladder. It is interesting you mention the cart system as I remember, but didn't mention seeing a snipped talking about the track and how carts were drawn up with cables. It's so steep and the blocks so huge, it makes perfect sense an out-of-control cart would spell doom. Thank you for the insightful informtion.
Thank you for such a wonderful video and so fascinating story. Loved it.
My pleasure!
Wonder who pays that electric bill?
Great video camera 1 deffinatly. Thanks
Awesome! Thank you for exploring this place with us!.
Great video from my home state. I love your channel and you do an excellent job of giving background info on the locations. Only complaint I have is whoever was working camera 2 was chewing gum or something...it was some kind of eating or chewing. I wear headphones most of the time when on UA-cam but I ended up just shutting off the sound halfway through. Thank you again for the great videos. This is one urbex site I'm going to visit! Also, I know of a few big abandoned old buildings in Nashua, NH. I don't have the ability, skill or camera equipment to explore them myself. If you're interested I'll get you the locations as well as whatever I know about the location.
Thank you Steve. That'd be great, actually if you can. I know some in the area, but I bet not these. You can always get me on email at desertify7@gmail.com. My apologies on the sound. I actually had a friend who has never gone with me before handle camera 2 as we experimented with it. It seems to get better sound, unfortunately in this case. You should visit the quarry, it is intersected and off from some biking trails, so not too bad to get to!
@@DesertifyUrbex Hello, there is a abandoned mill in Goffstown, NH, and it has some pretty interesting history. I have explored it many times and was wondering if you would like some details. Thanks.
What a fantastic place. I was surprised at how much machinery was still there, your photographs are stunning. I preferred camera 1, the focus seemed a bit out on the other one.
Thank you! I think cam 1 is what we're going to stick with. I'll have to find a way to resell cam 2 and maybe I should approach Apeman about promoting their action cams.
Where exactly is this place?
I don't know if you are still looking for feedback on the cameras used,, but the one used @ 6:14+ warps everything into a convex curve. I wouldn't use that one for these videos .
I'm dying! Camera 2 warps everything, too, with an extra visual effect. You are now a Chibi without a head.
It must have felt special visiting where your grandpa used to work.
I'm always delighted and impressed to see the intricate machinery that men engineer and design. This has been a thrill to see all these huge pieces. Thank you for sharing them.
Yeah, both aren't perfect. The new model GoPro is Camera 2, and 3-4 times as much in cost as Camera 1. I now just keep the GoPro for its better sound, and use Cam 1 almost exclusively (Trawo by Apeman). Crazy how that panned out, and almost everybody thinks the cheap cam is far better!
@@DesertifyUrbex
I have an off brand go pro that include every gizmo possible including the under water thingy. I still haven't used the camera. I got back into painting with watercolors, acrylics, and different ink mediums. I guess I forgot about the camera.
I live 2 miles from the quarry and have been there a few times to take photos and videos for UA-cam, very cool place. Another interesting place is Diana's Bath in Bartlett, New Hamphire where there are remnants of the old sawmill that used to be there. Old foundations and rusty parts of old machinery.
Very cool. Thanks for the info and for watching!
There's a small abandoned junkyard with vehicles from the 20s and 30s right near the dairy queen by storyland
A helicopter crash site from ages ago, kearsarge north off from hurricane mountain road
The old carpentry building at 08:19 looks as straight as the day it was framed. New England craftsman.
It's pretty amazing I have to say. Shows the night and day between now and then in our craftsmanship.
I just love these old pics and just think about the jobs they had to make a living and everyone must've known each other before it was abandoned. WW2 must've had something to do with it. I see the trees have taken over after everyone left, most towns are still there but Mother Nature has taken over
It's pretty wild. There are 100s of ghost towns in New England, most without a trace due to the woods and weather. We likely walk over them all the time. This one is truly unique due to the machinery. Hopefully it stays for some time and can be partly saved.
Massachusetts has a town that at that same time was also exporting TONS of granite exported. The town was known as "The granite valley." The materials built the greater newengland government buildings. And even shipped out towards the Lincoln memorial.
Nice! I had no idea.
What is the name of this town? And where in Massachusetts?
@tjburr1968 monson Massachuttes. There were 2 quarries. One was Flynt quarry. And the other was what is now a button museum called "Keep homestead". That query was small and was used for the house and a couple of other buildings. But the owner / father of the property were going to springfield ma for church (it was a day affair back then, travel alone was hours and hours) and 2 of his daughters stayed home when he took his wife and their sister to church. They were attacked by the natives and didn't make it leaving the 2 girls alone with the inherentance. Eventually, the family was down to 1 remaining member, and they left the property to the town as long as they kept up the house and turned it into a museum open to the public, and it has hiking trails to their quarry. Flint quarry was giant for the time. The town was part of brimfield until it was incorporated into its own one year before this great nation, 1775. Most houses in downtown are over 200 some 300 years old. Emily Dickenson also lived here.
@@DesertifyUrbex Yeah, they also had about 8 factories from textile to a cyanide factory that had barrels leak out and pollute the river. It was a disaster. Down that river was Dan Wesson's factory. The cousin of Smith and Wesson. There are a bunch of old places to explore. Along with one of the oldest asylums in America. Monson State Hospital. Which I would NOT recommend going to. It's heavily patrolled, you need to know where to go and what to do if you are seen. As they tare going all out to keep people out of there. But the old hospital on the hill, you can see from the road, the roof is caved in, but they did still have the shackles on the walls where you would get your fire hose bath.
@@DerekDumas wow thanks, I am familiar with Monson but had no idea. I will check it out, I am a mass native from Amherst wher Emily use to live as well. My parents use to take me to a church in Springfield too, glad we dodge the natives.
I think another thing that is note worthy,, Is just how fast nature will reclaim the land after its abandoned by man.. I can think of quite a few cities that needs this to happen to it..
With the number of people leaving cities for the countryside, this might be inevitable soon. Not a bad thing to spread people out more. to me, it is often a bit poetic and certainly puts one in their place next to nature when you see these locations.
Scary
When I was growing up, I didn't give a flying fig for history but I like it now, I guess it runs off on you
Heh, suppose so. I've always been obsessed, though it tapered off and came back. It's hard to imagine the life these people led working with few protections and little pay. The buildings that resulted form this quarry, though will stand for ages due to their craftsmanship.
There used to be mining all over New England. Westerly, RI, Canaan, Ct, Portland, Ct, Montpelier, Vt, Palmer, Mass., you name it.
That electric meter is fairly recent. Looks like a smart meter.
Nice video
Thank you! A one of a kind location for sure.
I liked camera 2 😍
Thank you for that!
Camera one. Camera two has a fish bowl affect to it
Totally agree :)
Camera 2 seems like a typical, wide-angle model preferred nowadays. Preferred because people like to feel a little nauseous while watching, they like not-so-far-away things to look really far away, and love the massive distortion that occurs around the edges when panning. Most modern cameras are total garbage, but that's what the public wants.... love the video, and those lathes are amazing.
PS: Your narration is great, and if you don't already do voice-over work, consider it. Your voice is outstanding.
Thank you so much. I do not but have considered it before.
Thank you!
the sonic youth graffiti is awesome
Camera 2 has a really clear picture, great color, and focuses quickly, but the lens causes the perimeter to bend and its more 3-D affect makes me dizzy. Camera 1 is easier on my eyes and shapes of things are not as distorted. Thanks for your videos. I sure enjoy them!
I have to agree. The sound was better as well. Sadly the fish eye, seems to cause real issues and I have yet to find any solution in editing. Quite an odd outcome given the price differences!
Oh here in north conway i just hiked there yesterday
Makes me feel sad experiencing all old homes from the 40s all the trees grone up
16:00 that's the biggest lathe i've ever seen in my life. Also, that electric meter, it is no more than around 10 years old. its still feeding something, someone is paying for it anyway. Need to follow it and see where it goes!
When I first saw the lathe I was shocked as well. There are even more artifacts I missed laying out in the woods there. They are pretty epic. Thanks for exploring it with us :)
Michael Myers would be very happy at the speed you walk. Hehe🙃
What part of new Hampshire this is amazing I would love to explore
Northern.
@@DesertifyUrbex What county? I wanna get some pictures. thanks!
@@daltonwilliamlawrence8269from what I read it's in North Conway N.H. Go to Walmart, left side of the parking lot. He will never ever tell you what part of N.H.
Great video, thanx for sharing. My opinion doesn't really matter, but I prefer camera #1, cause that fish-eye lens gets a little bit much after a while.
Thank you. Our viewer opinions matter a lot to us!
Camera two sets my vertigo off. I prefer one. Great video though 👍❤️🇺🇸
Thank you! Now am using camera one. Crazily enough, it cost 1/3rd the price.
That running meter would have had all my interest at that point, still running? It goes somewhere to something to be running. Underground bunker? Gotta go back and find out.
If only I wasn't acorss the world now lol. Either some secret bunker, grow op or other bizarre thing.
I agree. It boggles my mind. Who maintains it out there and ffs what is running out there?
that electric meter had bar codes...and a master lock. Couldn’t have been that old. Wonder if the was something deeper in the woods it was powering...
It's pretty strange. I never did figure it out and its something I now have to do on a return trip!
Getting further into the video camera 2 does have a hard time auto focusing. Great video but if your concerned about quality just keep making videos with manual settings rather then auto and I believe you'll be pretty close to pro, the photos are incredible
Thank you for that. I started in photography and video just sort of leaked in, so we use a gimbal to simplify things. The side effect, though, is that it makes some of the interface and buttons hard to reach so we go auto. I may experiment and see if it's more plausible with the touch screen on this one.
That running meter out in the woods and a pipe coming up out of the ground nearby makes me think that someone has a underground bunker there
You never know!
The more I think about that electricity meter the more curious I am as to where it goes. It looks like NHEC changed over to digital meters between 2011-2013. Did you follow the cable to see where it went?
I did not, but could not discern any standing structure within view other than the piles of boards. It is very strange. I'd be curious to see the result of another checking in and seeing if it can be traced.
@@DesertifyUrbex I would love to see you head back at some point. I’m always on the look out for those odd scenarios like that. I can’t imagine why the electric company would have made it a point to go out there and change that meter over if it was just running off into the leaves somewhere with no purpose. It’s probably nothing but you never know.
@@overland.viking It is certainly follow up video worthy. I have a few mysteries to solve on past explores now. You sometimes find some odd things. We're overseas now but will return.
It was a large lathe. I guesed right. wow
So, you find a digital power meter running at the site entrance...slow draw running speed...now, you need to look for the source it's powering and I'm guessing a solar battery box which feeds wireless cameras. Why there though? Also could be feeding a cell phone tower. Either way, it's maintained, had the security band still attached with one huge OPSEC failure...you noticed it, and filmed it. Go back, it'll probably be relocated or camouflaged.
The more I think on this, the odder it is. I had also noticed an out of place, somewhat newer handmade wooden platform. Perhaps 10x10 in size. It was raised and flat on the ground and painted green. At the time I thought maybe it had been tossed to rot, but now I'm not so sure. It was not more than 50-100 feet from the meter, and I never checked to see if it was attached to anything or simply laying on the forest floor.
I live in New England... exactly where is this? Would like to see if i can check it out.
I don't name locations but check the comments above and below and some have said the town :)
Camera 1 is your best
Itsinteresting how God has made this earth clean up all we have done toit😢
F*** P***, a perfect couch cusion. Lol! If you know then you know. Other than that This Place was Amazing. Thanks for the Awesome Video as always. Peace!
Thank you for exploring the place with us! You find some pretty odd and spicy stuff lol.
I wrote on that pillow back when I was like 16, also wrote 10 blunts on the wall. Good times. Still go there often (I don’t spray paint anymore)
