FINDING A GRAVEYARD IN THE WOODS

[@Linda8030]

I like how you show the small but significant details around this historical area. Very interesting video, thank you!

[@Christy903]

This was so interesting! Thanks for coming across this gravesite. Love this history!

[@waterdog94]

Yo Professor Philly Captain, some book report factoids…the Delaware River Canal runs from Bristol Borough to Easton PA where it joins the Lehigh Canal (no direct connection to Lake Erie). Back in the day it was used mostly to transport coal and pig iron to Philly’s industrial base. Toodles.

[@johndersham1]

Thank God you are so candid and honest about yourself. It is this in addition to the cool locations that make this site so addicting. We all hear enough bullshit everyday is is nice to hear the candid honesty.

[@themagus5906]

Bowman's Tower is a cool place. I remember a field trip there from my elementary school back in the 60s. I climbed all the rickety stairs to the very top, and out on to the rooftop. I'll never forget the awesome view of the Delaware from there.

[@lynsincetheeggs5174]

Canal also runs thru New Hope, once as a child mom took us on the mule barge on the canal. Route 32 is closed thru Upper Bucks County due to flood damage. Riegelsville and French Town are good places to visit as well.

[@vinylvishrecords]

Love your videos. I'm always learning about the Philly area. Drove past all these places since 1983 with my job and not once thought about the history or visited anywhere. I was stupid, but now I can watch The Philly Captain videos.

[@grouchygrundle]

Jazz cigarettes 🤣🤣

[@billzadera4340]

Cap’n, I loved today’s show. I’m writing a book report and will cite your references! Thanks Cuz.

[@edwardaustin740]

I won't write a book report but I do enjoy a great New Year's history scoot !! I have gone back and watched your previous history scoots around Philly. I appreciate you cuz !! 😆

[@gregbrown6921]

Yo Ma! He finally crossed a bridge

[@edwardaustin740]

@gregbrown6921 😆😆 😆

[@johndersham1]

My 9th great grandfather, Johan Jacob Dersham and his son Jacob D Dersham served as Teamsters for George Washington at Washington Crossing. Their military record denotes that info.

[@oboewankenobo8675]

That fence under the bridge is to keep the whitetail deer from getting in the wild flower preserve via the stream and chowing down on the rare and tasty flowers and bushes they have there. The fence is I think over 10 feet high all around the preserve ( which is really quite a large area ) because those suckers can really jump when they’re hungry.

[@mareekatz]

Great video ❤ been stomping around Washington Crossing & Boman's hill since i was a little girl. Thanks so much for the scoot.

[@charlesschauer8927]

Happy New Year, Captain....thx for the great videos..we all learn from you..

[@Nicip1013]

The woods look like a Bob ross painting

[@joannegoebel]

Have you ever watched the wandering woodsman ,he lives in PA and hikes all over the state. You might enjoy watching his channel.

[@VinnytotheK]

Another great relaxing/interesting video!

[@ThomRealEstate-k1y]

The Delaware canal runs between Easton and Bristol. At Easton it connected to the Lehigh,Morris and Essex, and the Delaware and Raritan canals. These canals brought coal from Scranton and Wilkes Barre via the Ashley planes to Philadelphia and Northern New Jersey.

[@grouchygrundle]

Such a neat area to explore

[@sueburrey6754]

Love the reference to book reports

[@hlee4012]

Happy New Year and great Washington Crossing video

[@mikelanzalotti7120]

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year, decided to celebrate by getting sick lol! Asking questions about a place is research in my opinion, you’re way more informed than most of us.

[@kevindivel4574]

I grew up around this area. This really brings me back. Visited Bowman’s park many times. Check out Bowman’s tavern next time up that way.

[@joeormsby2870]

Happy New Year

[@SomeRandomHuman717]

Your comment is priceless @ 10:18 "Most of these guys probably laid eyes on George Washington." By all accounts Washington was a pretty middling General when it came to (to use a football analogy) the exxes and ohs (Xs and Os), but during the Revolutionary War, he led from the front (which is ALWAYS noticed by the troops) and became adept at the fine art of NOT LOSING.

[@heatherharper3406]

This is a great one!!! Thank you. Sacred ground. Should have a gaurd 24/7. That would be an awesome gig. This is an honor to see. Fantastic. You are still the best! My covid hero! Best to you and family for 2025!

[@bob4364]

Happy New Years Philly Captain, great video in Washington Crossing, Pa..Enjoy your day.

[@bettygriffis8003]

😢I thought this was so enlightening Thank you

[@gaminggoliath8603]

Wonderful content captain! make more videos like this.

[@ninapross3337]

Very interesting,area I want to know better, thank you very much

[@djrodriguez4746]

Dude this feels like we're walkin around Skyrim.

[@ninapross3337]

Spend the winter in stick hut tents

[@LaCosa973]

I would shit my britches if i went there at night that place looks awesome!! Upstate NY is like this you can feel the energy up there especially at night. Love the channel man🫡💯

[@ViewerNumber9]

Thought it was a Punxsutawney GroundHog prelude 😂..."Hear ye, Hear ye" I'm from 🇬🇧 & know no better, so forgive me please 😂.

[@williambuck8368]

Awesome video as always

[@dolphziggler1416]

Yessss jazz cigarettes for sure😂

[@howardzane572]

Just like the Mens room at the old Greyhound terminal in Philly

[@marksands6380]

The flat trail along the canal would be the tow path. Mules would pull the canal boats and would need a flat cleared path to hitch to the boats...but don't write a book report about that.😉

[@benschwartz6565]

Slightly less dilapidated bathroom than the one in Pennypack Park near Rhawn and Cresco

[@DanielCarpenterLightMan]

I like this kind of content

[@Kimberly_Wms06]

I love your camping videos...⛺️

[@dolphziggler1416]

Stealth camping 😂😂😂

[@WhyCallMeLordLord]

2025 side goals: come down and have a cheesesteak with you.

[@brettwilkinson8904]

My resolution is to get to a Phillies game . Tickets are too steep. I'll have to save my money.

[@donaldedarnelljr6275]

Canal starts in Bristol PA at the Delaware River and runs all the way up to Erie PA.

[@my2cents945]

Easton, not Erie. LOL, Erie is in the north western corner of the state, Bristol is in the southeastern corner.

[@MrTrolleyguy]

I seem to remember that there is a grave site for casualties of the Revolution right on Broad Street, on the west side, above Godfrey Avenue. It was only as large as one house lot. That was back in the fall of 1968. I was just out of the Army and was a new SEPTA driver. I was driving the Rt C bus. The grave may have been relocated since then. It might be worth a scot some day.

[@Phoenix9093]

I waited for a Mummers video. Are we not getting one this year?

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

It has been 12 hours, lol

[@Phoenix9093]

@ThePhillyCaptain I see what I did there lol

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

It’s up now

[@my2cents945]

I believe the canal ran from Easton to Bristol.

[@413led]

The woods are not as creepy as Kensington 🧟‍♀🧟‍♂🧟

[@SuzanneA618]

Happy New Year❤🎉

[@ninapross3337]

It sort of feels like creation it's so quite lately

[@VinnytotheK]

This is rather thought-provoking.

[@Shawn-ec6re]

Happy New Year Cap🎉

[@ninapross3337]

This is where the people in the painting camped

Pennypack Park is stocked with trout every year and those armed guards are PA Fish and Game commission officers. I fish Pennypack every year and they will fine you and confiscate your gear if you keep trout without a trout stamp on your fishing license.
