Challenging GOOGLE MAPS Target - What Did I Find?

[@JPVideos81]

It was great to be out on a new Google hunt. What did you think of the findings?

[@ledicarusmedia]

These are my favourite videos, followed by the ones where you explore abandoned known sites. That looks like a pump house.

[@josephpolaski5835]

I love your content. I get a kick out of all your stuff especially the homes. I laugh alot about that it takes my mind out of the stress of moving to centre co. I talk to your camera guy Mike alot. Im going to go bust him where he works. Hes s nice guy! Im a big fan here!

[@Netdinex]

@JPVideos81 You were on the path to Campbell's ledge! I'm surprised you didn't go to the top, you would've had a wonderful view of the valley.

[@andyvitz]

Looks like a generator station

[@lmarchand8526]

Loved it, will watch for other treks of yours :) I like the way you present it, noting things as you go, etc. I would have really liked having the coordinates from G Maps of your target location though, to follow you along the journey there on the map too. The site seemed so remote on your Google map shot...didn't see any nearby village or farms. Cheers :)

[@CentralPaRailfan]

18:27 it's the yellow submarine! If the doors were still there the painting would be complete.

Thats an old Chlorine building. I worked for Pa American Water for 29 yrs.

[@JPVideos81]

Was it for treating the water?

[@josephpolaski5835]

Yea JP years ago we got raw water they shot chlorine gas a corrosion inhibitor with zinc and maybe buffered the ph with lime or caustic soda to bring the ph to 7.5. That was it

[@JPVideos81]

@@josephpolaski5835 thanks for the info

[@justaperson8560]

Was the corrosion inhibitor to keep the gas from eating the pipes out.

[@josephpolaski5835]

@@justaperson8560 yes and the ph had to be buffered also because Cl2 gas lowers the ph to around 4.0. The zinc would coat the mains.

[@kfourom]

My guess: A clean water source for the mines. Drinking water for inside the mine and shower water for the shower house. The building topside had a generator to keep it all on and what could have been a chlorination apparatus. The box structure was likely a clear well to allow sediment to drop out or a sand filter for the same purpose.

[@deepbludude4697]

Yep my thoughts exactly!

Yeah, you def should include the trip in. It's part of the adventure and builds anticipation. Plus, it's nice seeing what other parts of the world look like.

[@aisle9]

I wish they would have dismantled that dam when it fell into disuse. Very little good comes of leaving small, unused dams in place on mountain streams. Makes things far worse when the dam eventually gives way because no one's maintaining it. Looks like an old abandoned mill of some kind, or a hydroelectric generator for powering a mine? Great video! Now go familiarize yourself with the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine" :)

[@sonplusone7059]

I feel your pain with The mosquitoes. Chris and I recently went on a section of the D&L and the mosquitoes were outrageous. I had over 50 bites on me and I lost count on Chris. We looked like we fell into a beehive. Speaking of bees, the next section had bees nests on the ground crossing the path with hundreds of bees that we had to cross. People don’t know what we go through to produce these videos, which comes to my next point. I love that you showed the trials of getting to a place, it’s not always ice cream and lollipops. I should do a video of all the mishaps, it would probably be good for a laugh. 🤗 loved the video and thanks for reading my babbling.

[@JPVideos81]

I definitely recommend sharing the good and bad. Before I got comfortable on camera, I used to include my many outtakes of blunders I made.

[@dongenova2445]

the one thing i know for sure is that the first room you entered and to the left was an emergency eye wash 18:40 and an emergency shower 18:46. this would have been equipped in places that use chemicals. could have been water treatment chemicals or some kind of acid since the shower is there.

[@Bardmusic66]

For sure, recognize the chain. That tracks with some other comments saying it was chlorine treatment for water.

[@alpharaven8550]

The faint train whistle sound(probably his bike noise )at 13:56 while speaking about trains was exellent...unintended yet perfectly executed sound effect...exellent .

[@kevinwelsh8060]

Definitely a location to explore in the fall or early winter. I have a feeling there is more in that area that can not be seen right now.

If I was homeless in the NE, I would definitely seize that structure and defend it with my life. Anybody can be homeless out West, here in the NE, I respect those that can survive in our harsh winters. A friend of mine even allows some people to stay in a garage he owns as long as they maintain the property. They police themselves and sadly, a few are younger combat veterans that have been failed by the people they defended. There are very few services and outlets for vets in rural areas and they aren't exactly mobile. I'd be in that shelter in a hot minute if the need arose. I know a guy that lives in a cave here in the ADK, he got tired of begging for housing, all the drug addicts and ill eagles get it, he gets nothing, that's his America. Who wouldn't have mental health issues after going through that? There's a huge problem that needs to be addressed here in the states, let's take care of our own before we take care of anyone else.

[@notimeforthat999]

campbells ledge!

[@genefogarty5395]

@@notimeforthat999 Never heard of it, the cave I talked about is around Little Falls up on the mountain overlooking the town across the canal. It's huge and he's got a real nice setup, I got him some steel to keep bears out. I go up and have beers with him now and then, grill up some steak, etc. Sad that an American has to live like that, and I thought I was poor.

[@blessedhighlyfavored701]

So happy to hear you spend time and help this vet.

[@genefogarty5395]

@@blessedhighlyfavored701 I don't have friends or family, the lonely seem to gravitate towards each other. The VA failed him, I just lend an ear and whatever I can. It's just being human, I've been where he is, it sucks. Too many people are scared of one another. I get it, but some common sense and caring can change a person's life. Trust your gut, but let your heart be open. If you've never seen a human being frozen to death, you should, because it happens way too often and it's avoidable if ignorance and fear are put aside. Most homeless are a problem, I look for those that are solutions. In rural areas, the resources are few and far between. If I can advocate for a good human, I do.

A crazy place. It amazes me the places that are left abandoned over time.

[@dianacanales2526]

Awesome exploration! Awful mosquitos, though & glad you didn't disturb whatever bee/wasp nest was in the ceiling of that room! (One advantage of cold weather explores - no bugs!) Really nice mural of the yellow submarine & bright blue wavy water! Also loved the orange butterfly and toad you found.🦋🐸 I'm really curious about the purpose of that site & what the little buildings were used for. I hope you go back in cooler weather & maybe with a drone, too. It could be helpful to see where those side trails went along the way. Glad your eBike had fenders to minimize puddle splashes. Loved this adventure! Great job!!🌿💙

[@JPVideos81]

That's definitely one thing I love about winter adventures. I could of done without the mosquitoes.

[@bobbylarson80]

It looks to be an old train depo house for the railway. The room with bee's was the shower and restroom. The second is the repair shop for the trains. The two on the side is a storage for supplies and maybe a bunk room. The lower building is a wash house with washer and dryer. The tank is for storing clean water. My grandfather was a coal train Engineer and talked about places like this.

[@jamesn.economou9922]

The bars on the windows, may have been, to keep bears out. Super cool video! Thanks for putting up with the mosquitoes. I don't think I could have done it!

[@rodneyclaunch]

It's a water reservoir for Steam Powerd trains . They used to call them tank ponds

[@Cthippo1]

How close were you to the top of the hill? That first structure is a backup power supply that once held a generator, and I think batteries that would supply power if the line power failed. There was also Telco wiring so it could communicate with a central station. I'm wondering if this might not have been a backup for a radio or cell antenna somewhere nearby. The green plumbing fitting in the first room was a safety shower, which probably means the room behind was the battery room and contained wet cell batteries. That way, if someone doing maintenance spilled battery acid on themselves they could treat it right away rather than having to go to town to get aid. That pipe sure looks like one that would feed a turbine at the bottom or the hill. The powerhouse may be gone (or may not be), but I bet that pipe still discharges back into the creek somewhere downstream. Look for a medium sized building with power lines going to it right next to the creek somewhere down stream. Best guess is that the backup power system was to ensure power to operate the valves in the new (lower) building which controlled water to a power plant below. I saw something very similar at the Powerdale Generating Station in Hood River OR last year and have a video up of that.

[@musclecarmitch908]

It was the Beetles "Yellow Submarine"

[@Curious1304]

@maxr4073 Yes agreed, and I think the album's related psychadelic artwork inspired Wawa's hoagiefest campaign. It sure looks like it anyway.

[@Draggynsmate]

The broadside of the building @18:14 with the blues, blacks, and the yellows is a copy of The Yellow Submarine !! A very good rendering, wish the doors were there, closed, to show it off fully. Great find !

[@williampugh6699]

In that first room was a HAWS company emergency shower and eye wash station. Just inside on the left side of the door. I used to build those.

[@fool1tornado]

Looks like a fire fighting support system. The pipes below are fire hydrant type. The building on top had a Kohler generator for sure in there. The bottom building looks like a water control room. The valve control on the wall were used to open and close that big man hole cover is probably a control valve to release water and was controlled by that smaller building. Working in the natural gas industry we had several control systems across 1000s of miles of 48" pipe line that looked like that. Gas or water they all are using the same technology to open and close things. Follow the pipes they should lead to your next adventure.

That room looks like some type of pump room. I notice the round papers on the floor; I could zoom in and saw they are the pages that recorded flow measurements on them from old (ish) analog machines with the little arm that draws a line as the paper wheel slowly rotates. I worked at a place that used the same analog technology from the 60s thru the mid to late 90s. Very cool find.

[@EricZolner-zz8bj]

Probably old domestic water dam probably taken out of service 80's or 90's when they went to more modern filtration after giardia ( beaver fever) outbreak. The road at the bottom of the hill did have the gate open quite a few years ago and I may or may not have been to the top in a motor vehicle.

It took her 18 trys to get out of the water...lol...I don't think I have laughed that hard in a long time. It was hilarious!!! She would stand up to get out of the water then she would fall backwards, get up fall face first. When her feet hit land on her ass she went.
