2 death defying stunts in one video! No where else Lots of good memories of this place growing up. My family had a farm there in the late 40s that's now a housing development. Thanks Cap

[@flybirdsfly2091]

Wow,what a video philly captain.

[@nancybrady3033]

Grew up just 30minutes from Washington Crossing Park-thanks for the memories:)

[@samilt13]

Thank you for the beautiful scenery. And facing your height fear, was epic.

[@spamlessaccount]

Thanks for nutting up and giving us such a gorgeous view. Well done!

[@joelfrombethlehem]

I have not been up Bowman's Hill Tower in a very long time, not since my parents took us up in the mid-1960s. I knew then that it was a paid admission attraction: 75 cents for adults and 50 cents for children (under 18). The parks are operated by each state, and in New Jersey, admission is charged from Memorial Day to Labor Day. A nice little tour, thanks!

[@mellowsunshine2724]

This was a great tour, thank you for taking the time to show us everything. My first time seeing where the crossing took place. SO COOL! And yes, sorry, but I internally giggled watching you be scared of heights, Im the same way, only you are braver.

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

I’m not brave at all. lol

[@JuanJuan-qc1cg]

That’s a big ass boat Cap

[@JLScott]

What an awesome view

[@jerrymccullough688]

Thanks for the awesome video, Captain!

[@joangravel2436]

Thanks that was awesome places I enjoyed watching

[@bob4364]

Hey Philly Captain great scoot ride video tour and more at Washington Crossing between Pa and NJ..Enjoy the day..

[@Christy903]

Omg! I can feel the anxiety from living room. I’d be the same way! It’s a gorgeous view though! Thanks for that.. I know it’s difficult! Great video Captain!

[@davidhitchen5369]

I've been going there since I can remember. In the 1970's we used to walk up the hill and then walk up the spiral staircase to the top of the tower. It was free to go up back then. Now there's an elevator and you pay. I still walk up the hill, but I have to take a different route since they put a deer fence around the wildflower preserve back in the 1980's. It's a nice little park, and right along the Delaware Canal and the river.

[@herbm8709]

Great video Captain!! I love the historical videos, you do a great job at these. The Turnaround was one of the best!! Keep up the scoots!!

[@Jsteng08]

Thanks Captain for a great video

[@waterdog94]

Appreciate the closing frame with the statue & flag, Cap. Working in some artsie-fartsie production value now that you're Hollywood. Watched The Turnaround this past weekend and really enjoyed it. Very heartwarming and super important messaging. Thank you for all you do.

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

The movie definitely made me a little artsy fartsy I’m adding a few shots I never would use before

[@brettwilkinson8904]

I don't know about soccer in 1776, but it was just 107 years before the inception of the Phillies.

[@DennisA-ww6om]

Good job with the video

[@randygyulay5114]

Loving the history.

[@crazylarry1959]

Hello Philly captain beautiful trails thanks for taking me along pennsylvania is so awesome .I went canoeing on the Delaware nice to to do it once but never again couldn't move my arms for a week .take care I hope you do Valley Forge another great place to vlog later gator Larry from long island

[@jenifermac-5150]

Great job with this video!!!

[@euroschmau]

We saw you zoom past us while walking on the NJ side, we immediately knew it was you! It sure was a really nice day.

[@hlee4012]

Beautiful views of the Delaware River Scenic Byway. Looking forward to the bike ride and hopefully the Washington Christmas Eve reenactment

[@b000mAZ]

I love your videos and I laugh and learn a lot each time I watch. Thanks for another great tour and video!

[@heathermanning5368]

Great video! I'd love to see the reenactment of Washington crossing the Delaware in Christmas! I've always wanted to go in Bowman's tower bit I hate heights too! Thanks for the tour! 🧡🍂😎

[@MartysRandomStuff]

We are in a drought for sure, my backyard rain gauge in Delaware County hasn't seen more than 1/10 inch of ran since the first week of August. No rain in the 10 day forecast, so it seems we will go at least 3 months without rain here. Looking at the website for the PA park, it's a state park, not federal.

[@spamlessaccount]

Last time I went up Bowman's tower it was just a metal staircase around the open inside of the tower. THAT was scary.

[@spamlessaccount]

21:55 houses along that stretch are 550K - 900K according to Zillow.

[@zaxxon25]

love grows where my rosemary goes ... or where the Philly Captain goes (I guess)

[@BobbyJackShow]

Immediately across the river is Goat Hill and Washington's rock. Apparently, local patriots used the rock to keep an eye on any movement of the British and Hessians in the area. You can see New Hope from there. Near Goat Hill is Baldpate Mtn. You can see Manhattan on a clear day.

[@mareekatz]

I've been lucky enough to have actually climbed the steps at Bomans Tower.

[@marystercula9165]

You are on our favorite bike trail we park at scudder falls bridge go over bridge into new jersey then down to washinton crossing over bridge back into pa and up canal back to car about six miles.

[@mareekatz]

Thanks for the memories Captain . .I'm only 20 minutes from Washington Crossing & would go there all the time as a kid.❤ btw....new subscriber here. Love your videos ✌️❤️🙂

[@stacieeitner6887]

That bridge is so tight for those cars crossing! I am surprised that it is a 2 way bridge.

[@_Rysdyes]

Great views!

[@SFNMutt]

You were in my neck of the woods. Looks like a nice day.

[@SuzanneA618]

In Washington Crossing there is a really good pizza place called Dominicks❤🎉 My parents used to live in Yardley and we used to go to this area alot⭐️

[@johndersham1]

My wife and I ate a couple times at the Washington Crossing Inn, back in our Philly days. It was expensive then, at least for us.

[@c.durkin9482]

Every Christmas morning, they re-enact the Crossing. It's worth seeing. They hand carry those wooden boats and launch them into the river.

[@kingofgogas]

Great video cuz!!!

[@redrooster1908]

The 7 dollars goes towards elevator repairs 👍 You now have buns of steel from all those cement stairs you climbed 💪

[@justinsimister247]

Yo Captain. Love the video. Have you ever been to Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site in Elverson Pa? I think you would really enjoy it there

[@brianeslinger3639]

You’re just like me HeIgHt oh no Brian from Northeast Ohio 👍👍👍

[@michelleloader5560]

Hi❤❤❤❤❤

[@spamlessaccount]

7:57 fun fact - that's not the original painting. Ironically the original was destroyed in a bombing during WW2 - in Germany of all places (home of the Hessians).

[@413led]

Im with Capt on Politics. Its gotten absolutely ridiculous. Scooter Dork

[@douglaswaite9574]

Do yourself favor and do a quick Google dive into the Doan Gang. Them Doan Boys almost wrecked the whole Xmas crossing strategy

[@tombogdan6894]

There’s no tidal change on that part of the river it’s just low

[@lisapratt166]

Great video🎉🎉🎉 i hate bridges. Eeeeeeee 😢im not a fan of cable tv either ( along with many i know of) the commercials are all about death and dying it riddles me with anxiety attacks. 😢

[@-FALKOR]

🇺🇸‬‬🇺🇦‬‬❤‬‬🤍💙💛🌹🇮🇱🤍💙‬‬

[@scottgordon1721]

It used to be free with no elevator and no guard rails at the top destroyed the whole experience.

[@kingofgogas]

The hessians were eating sourkrout when Washington troops showed up.

[@_Rysdyes]

In the name of camping with Steve,, LETS STEALTH CAMP

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

I tried this weekend. A major failure

[@augiehedquist6020]

I didn’t know they had trailers and tires in 1776

[@mikec7176]

👍🛴👍

[@AnotherAlfredHawthorneHi-kg4iv]

Philly Captain inquiring minds need to know. In your inimitable seer, soothsayer, and sage mystical and borderline divine way, please tell us about when George Washington crossed the Delaware river in icy cold conditions, did his teeth chatter and sound like wood or like ivory, not to mention the powder that fell from his hair? Now would of you actually performed a death-defying stealth camping event and suddenly you found Steven Willis was already occupying the ramshackle lean-to, full of little maple leaf flags and eating ketchup flavored potato chips while having improvised chili , what would plan b be? And Captain we shall never confuse this George for that George: Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie, Kissed the girls and made them cry, When the girls came out to play, Georgie Porgie ran away.... Many thanks for keeping the leaf-peepers blissed out.

[@sociald4515]

Did you see Yankee fans are trying to get The Turnaround going for Judge? 😂😂

[@edwardaustin740]

I think 🤔 all this history lessons are in need of a book report and quote from the Philly Capitan ? 😆😅😅

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

Here is a quote…don’t write a book report

[@edwardaustin740]

@@ThePhillyCaptain Well noted 😆 Thanks cuz !!

[@douglaswaite9574]

Yo Cuz.. Q: What did George Washington say before they crossd the river?

[@douglaswaite9574]

A: GET IN THE BOAT!!!!

[@krizman-enduro]

no toll going into jersey,..only going out of jersey.lol.😊

[@mareekatz]

Wow ..spoke too soon....didnt know u could still climb the steps 🙄

[@douglaswaite9574]

The river isn't tidal at this location. The drought is real.

[@scottapeshot]

Fine talk about political signs from a guy who doesn't get out of bed to pee without slipping into team colors!

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

Why are you watching me pee?

[@bradpittiful7288]

two things with those political signs in my head...its no ones business who im voting for...and if you are for candidate X and i dont like them...i may not like you anymore haha

[@thomasbennettjr1188]

Great video Captain used to go there when younger and these ads are horrible and after they get into office you don't hear a single thing from them
