Glad you enjoyed it! Beautiful destination here.

That’s a very good concern you bring up. I’m no expert on the matter but I also noticed a bit of rot or deterioration on the occasional tree. Sure hope the NPS is doing the right thing

​@TheCoverageProject they are, it's called leaving it alone and letting nature be nature. Nothing last forever. I don't know where your from but the trees from your area have been logged more then 1 time and replanted.

@@kevininforks How can you know that about the trees where he lives when you don't know where he lives? He could be living in a nice log cabin in the middle of a sequoia forest, for all I know. And then your theory wouldn't cut it, so to speak.

You’re welcome!

Very informative. Enjoyed learning about this. Amazing how powerful nature can be

@@TheCoverageProject Water was the defining agent for much of the Earth's surface, from the Gobi Desert, to the Pampas, the American Southwest, to the Sahara Desert, the Straits of Bosporus, to the Kalahari Desert, water flowed in great quantities for centuries, as the "oceans" deepened, their plates submerging to account for the massive weight of water.

I appreciate it! Enjoy diving into the collection of destinations on this channel!

The reconstruction itself? No, not old. That’s merely a commemoration. But the concept of the permanently inhabited settlement of Astoria? Still yes.

So, many rankings out there list this city as one of the top. And I mean, I agree with you. I enjoyed my time but didn’t find much to substantiate the claim. I’m not sure which criteria these news sites look for; the scope can be as wide as “best to raise a child” to “most fun to tour for one day” and anything in between.

@@TheCoverageProject Spot On!

It’s amazing to think about it, isn’t it? Walking in the footsteps of ancient civilizations brings out this surreal, hypnotic enchantment as you imagine your surroundings under this foreign reality.

@TheCoverageProject True. I'll enjoy checking it out. It's temporarily closed, I think for construction. It's less than 2 hrs from me.

Wow, had no idea of its existence! Looked it up and it seems beautiful!

I’ve heard that BC has some wild natural coastline! All for it

Leave🤷🏼‍♂️

I found Iowa pretty beautiful for its quaint and rustic atmosphere. Not all states get the luxury of calm away from chaos 👍

Buy me a plane ticket to PR and I’m there, but the five major US territories might have to wait until another chapter of the Coverage Project. Way more costly just to transport myself, but Puerto Rico might be the easiest one to check off out of the 5.

Who is Randell Smith?

@TheCoverageProject THE dude from Giles County va..I thought this was Dismal Creek..He was the Appalachia Trail Killer

I’m an out of towner, thanks for some local history!

It’s beautiful out there. World class natural destinations all over California for that matter.

Yeah, parts of Canada which are more south than my American hometown. Point Pelee always had me curious as well. Buy me a ticket and I’m sold, but as of now I’m actually living farther away from Canada than I’d been before. One can dream though and I’ve got an itinerary set for the first trip I’d take through the Great White North.

The larger the candy industry, the better for my insatiable appetite

That’s amazing! I didn’t know whether fish would like it in south Jersey’s brackish waters

Especially if the upper class people of DC start moving in.

I’ll come back to this comment in 20 years 👍

Oh I imagine for all the time I’d spend in a location, there’s days more to be spent to truly understand the area. Great stuff!

I’d argue that there are also some cities notorious for administrations which enact policies (or a negligence thereof) that perpetuate racist undertones of inequality and disadvantage for minorities, such as New York City and Chicago. And I haven’t visited them so far. So you’re welcome. Jokes aside though, unfortunately hate and prejudice are innate human traits that are found in any location. However this specific town quite literally made Nevada what it has come to be. To suggest that I should avoid or blacklist historically significant locations on account of modern blemishes, that sounds a bit too reactive, don’t you think? Should we ignore the result of the massive contributions and toils minorities of the past have made in creating the American West, a region that was on average way more equal and fair than the socially stratified east? I have nearly 200 other places I’ve in fact picked before this one so feel free to check those out on the channel.

Ah, the TRUE Posterchild of the Midwest. I did some research and it does seem like that city’s pretty cool here and there. I don’t know when I’ll be returning to previous states given my new direction in life but I’ve added Springfield to my Ohio itinerary

It is sad to hear of a city’s decline with such happenings that you mention. Especially so with the rail-powered dignity Altoona had earlier in American history. I’m glad I could do my part in providing the city with a positive take.
