I live in Indiana, I am working on my geneology. I love watching. Have you ever come across a snake on camera

[@TS-bn7zt]

cindy brian Indeed they have!!👍

[@ParkerUAS]

@@cindybrian5589, every so often they have "Joe Noshoulders" as a Special Guest. Here is a video from early May with an appearance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp-ZoXdtm8l0jNk

Cleaning this cemetery would be a great Eagle Scout project

[@ParkerUAS]

Eagle Scouts are becoming a lot harder to find. 😥

[@ParkerUAS]

@ Took one look at the talons and said, "Nope!"

[@melissadyche8325]

That’s the best idea I’ve seen yet

[@nicholasrourke3836]

Those unmarked stones for kids just breaks my 💓. God bless you for cleaning them off.

[@tomhirons7475]

You do so much for your area my friend, in finding these cematarys , respect from England.

[@cemeterrihaynes4435]

Thank you for helping to document these abandoned and forgotten cemeteries. I just want you to know that your time is not wasted and what you are doing is valuable and appreciated. It is important.

[@peanutbutter35]

So sad these ppl were forgotten and all the over grown brush has hid them for so long! Thank you Robert and everyone else for saving these cemeteries!

[@vinderliker]

You do a wonderful job preserving history mate, James from Australia.

[@tacocin]

I salute your fortitude! Deer flies, stinging nettle, ticks and chiggers would discourage most anyone but, you persevere! Blessings my friend!

[@todd8414]

Don't forget snakes!

[@alicekeene7165]

The child’s grave is very touching. Sorry the nettles got you. Thanks for caring about and cleaning the stones. Bless you!

[@brandivalentine7267]

It’s heartbreaking to see these graves abandoned n uncared for. I love old cemeteries n their beautiful headstones. It’s also interesting to see how the popular names for the time era.

[@dawndietz4654]

Thanks for the new video! I was out cemetery walking today in White County Arkansas. Got some cool shots of headstones. Even a fellow who was “shot by bushwackers” in 1861 in the Civil War! Keep up your great adventures 😊

[@nogoodreally2422]

I wish someone would come take care of some of these graves

[@brucehorner936]

I agree with you,

[@nogoodreally2422]

Bruce Horner ty

[@Laurie03]

I also agree, it’s sad that so many graves are lost and forgotten

[@carrallbright]

I wish i could go there and take a chain saw and clean it up and put it back in shape Rev Mike

[@otakop67]

10:10 That large stone is likely the base to a vertical gravestone that was either never placed or more likely has been destroyed. I say this because of the two holes in the stone where the gravestone would have been mounted.

[@shelleysoto]

I love how you take the time to uncover these old headstones. Another great video.

[@franksalas24]

It’s a shame, all the history and left abandoned

[@rwm1]

Seeing the sad shape of this cemetery and like so many other forgotten ones you've documented, it's hard to believe at one time there were people mourning or celebrating lives in a time when these cemeteries were revered

[@ParkerUAS]

I live near Phoenix and often head up the OHV trails and you can quite often find graves near abandoned mine camps and old ghost towns. The really sad ones are on the old "El Camino del Diablo" (The Devil's Road) which was used by early Native Americans, Spanish Conquistadors, and prospectors. The road crosses a couple hundred miles of harsh desert along the modern US/Mexico border. The only water are small pools (called "tanks") that fill up after monsoon storms and slowly evaporate. Many travelers died due to dehydration and there are a few graves near one of these tanks. The legend is that three men were found dead near an empty tank, but a full tank was only 80 feet up the hill. They were buried in shallow graves. The stones are still there and people still leave flowers. I do not believe their names were ever known after death.

[@Unit38]

My wife's family, here in So. side VA, were Johnstons. They were here before the Revolutionary War. I would not be at all surprised if these GA Johnstons were not related. Good video.

[@rosalynphillipson7942]

As interesting as ever, and well done for tolerating biting flies and stinging nettles. I felt for you.

[@greywebs1944]

Robert felt it too 😂

[@richardduncan7924]

That was once a pretty and quiet cemetery and hopefully it can be restored some day. Surely there must be some descendants still alive in that general area.

[@pumpupjam9648]

Missed Sidestep Adventures, thought you and or family members or friend got Covid-19. Glad to see you and Cody, well! Nice haircut, and semi shaved beard, it looks very nice. I know it's probably humid down there (cause we've had a lot of rain lately) can you get a beehive gear hat with mesh net? It might help you when your out there from those pesky horse fly's. I hate them things! And keep a safety box in your car, those nettles hurt like the dickens! Baking Soda would work! The cemetery, thank you again for another great adventure. It is very sad to see it overgrown and the families all deceased and forgotten by people. With Covid still hanging and in some places getting stronger, its hard to get out there and chop, cut and clean up these treasures. So thank you Robert and Cody, for one staying safe, and two, for going on an adventure.

[@francisgerry3883]

It's so sad to see the cemetery so unkept and grown over. Thanks for the videos.

[@cowgirlvillarreal]

Love All of Your Adventures

[@lydafrazier7764]

YOU need a stiffer broom Thanks for all your hard work in documenting all these lovely graves sites. God bless 🙏🙏🙏 you and your team'. May God allow you to do this a long time ,✝️🛐💜👍

[@gayeyount7948]

I love how respectful you are with these graves. Be safe and stay away from the stinging nettle. Thank you for caring about these graves

[@ricknelson576]

Had two helpers that day. With that size cemetery going to need a army to clean up. Be nice if it could happen.Thanks for video. Stay safe.

[@lynnebunning7273]

Well done Robert Cody & ? Another Cemetery lost in time, they may never have there names mentioned again, 🇦🇺🐨👍🏻❤️❤️❤️ Australia

[@kimerke7999]

What you are doing is so commendable!!! These places should never be forgotten! So thank you

[@bbqking7869]

Thank you so much for your efforts to bring back to life these forgotten people from a forgotten time. You always leave me wondering how these people lived, what were their lives like.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

I always wonder the same!

[@lydafrazier7764]

Thanks for all your hard work 👍 to try to remember these forgotten precious people.❤️

[@marthakierstead3415]

Wonderful video as always ! Thank you Robert and Cody . Happy Fathers Day

[@barbaracooke1617]

Hi from Barbara in the uk 👋just love Ur channel 💕playing catch up at the moment but just love watching keep it up 👍

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Thanks! Just released part 4 of this cemetery!

[@istici6511]

Thank you again for another adventure. If those that have passed could spend a day now in the present. I wonder what they'd say? Its so sad to see cemeteries in that condition.

[@monikameza4107]

Thanks for sharing this beautiful cemetary in the woods

[@jendyson6729]

Interesting video as always, thank you! I did a LOT of hiking and backpacking and the only bug stuff we used was 'The old woodsmen' same formula since the 1800's, it stinks but it may help with those miserable deer flies. You put a couple drops on your hat and then if you put a bandana on your neck with some that should help too. Doesn't help as I recall with horseflies but pretty effective for other insects. I checked amazon and it is still sold there, been using the stuff since the 1970's. Hope this helps if you continue on your adventures during the summer :)

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

I’ll check that out!

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Thank you for all you do. Videos are great.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@barbaraharshman9460]

Thank you for what you do! Love seeing your videos and respect you give to all these people!

[@juliapatricia6223]

God Bless you for what you do in honouring these graves. May you be well remembered long after you go to your heavenly home.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Robert & Cody plus support team, you guys are really lovely, caring people. I cannot believe how many cemeteries there are that are just hiding in among the woods. Thank you for caring for these people and letting their names be spoken again after such a long time being forgotten. xx💖

[@andrea52580]

Could the large quarry rock grave that you mentioned was an infants grave, with the “&” symbol, be for twins? Just a thought. That may explain its size.

[@hislifeherforever1400]

totally agree would explain the &symbol

[@colleenbennett2867]

I thought the same exact thing

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Could be

[@SwedePlaysGames]

Considering the style of other stones shown, I would guess that it's "Infant child of TC & YY Johnston" and we cant see the childs name at all.

[@hellen__1]

So sad that al these graveyards are like this. And yust forgotten. So Nice of you to clean them up a little. A fan from Holland

[@Laurie03]

I’ve been looking forward to watching your new videos, your care and gentleness towards these graves should be recognized. Thank-you for all you do

[@libbynester1814]

Thanks for all of the hard work. It is nice to hear the people buried in those graves being ackowledged and their memory living on. Thanks for cleaning them off to make them readable.

[@tonyfernandez3337]

Robert WONDERFUL job like always well done, not everyone do what you do specially with all that flies and needles around you YOU HAVE TO BE PROUD OF YOURSELF AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING WITH YOU Like always great JOB

[@emmadalrymple4102]

Thank you for taking the time to do this. Your devotion to these people's existence doesn't go unwarranted. Thumbs up!

[@marygarner5249]

Happy father's day to all Dad's love your videos 😁 take care my friend's

[@sherrilee230]

The passages that they write are very beautiful and loving thank you for sharing

[@wilmer4258]

Well done! I admire how thorough, caring and respectful you and your team are. I truly enjoy my time with you all during your explorations. Thank you!

[@judywebb1261]

you are so interesting to watch i admire the respect you give to all people that have passed can't wait for part four . Keep up the good work to all of you .

[@aletiagarvey1018]

Why can't anyone willing to go to any abandoned cemetery and clean up and make it as respectable cemetery again??? It's not fair to all who are buried and then forgotten about it. They deserve more than that!

[@beckyb.4592]

I think it’s sad how a cemetery this large could be totally forgotten. It’s obviously been neglected for many years and it’s terrible. I’m sure a lot of people buried there has decedents living today.

[@angieb6715]

Thank you for visiting these forgotten individuals!

[@sherronbell4961]

Just an amazing video, just incredible Cemetery.

[@marycoleman3711]

Use so zoot laundry bar to wash area where the string nettle touch's it's helped me many times

[@rwm1]

You need a leafblower, garden clippers, and heavy-duty insect repellent as well, LOL. Thanks again for all you do to keep these cemeteries and the folks who reside not forgotten.

[@rwm1]

And a machete.

[@estop4804]

Hey Robert I recently discovered your channel and subscribed I'm hooked Lol . If your a Father like myself Happy Fathers Day . God Bless

[@sandraplonka5225]

Thank you Robert and your helpers. Very fascinating.

[@teresahill1982]

At the beginning of this video where you pointed out the wildflowers there was a grave that caught my eye, the last name was Boone and it said North Carolina on it. My ancestors are Boone and they are from Pennsylvania down to North Carolina and related to Daniel Boone.

[@lindawestphal2697]

Love love love your adventures n what you do for the departed...thank you

[@sherladixon2842]

Stinging nettles are awful . GA is full of them . Thank you for documenting this cemetery,it’s sad Those will be totally forgotten

[@wandamiller7640]

Thank you for your caring God bless you and your family.

[@lizl6232]

Great video. You are Making everyone aware of these forgotten graves. It would be a great clean up job for some group

[@TheGeocampbell]

Your dedication amazes me. Thanks for sharing these, your videos are the most interesting I've seen.

[@davegoodridge8352]

Beautiful old moss covered tree. Thank you

[@annebell7274]

Thank you Robert for yet another thoroughly interesting video. Thank God there are people around like you to give them the Respect they deserve. Thank you. 🍀❤🍀

[@Lilaa86]

Finally you use gloves and a brush , good rob 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@victoriaeastman3248]

Thank you and your family for doing what you do.

[@colleencrane4843]

Always great video!,this is so well done and Keeping these peoples memories alive is so wonderful!💖😀,Great Job Robert...Thank you!

[@Gypsy839]

Beautiful flowers and I love the big tree with the moss hanging on it.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

I loved that tree too

[@vickyd4966]

Thank you for helping to make sure these people are remembered. I have ancestors from Georgia where to this point their graves have not been found. I always watch just in case you have to run across them. (1800's) Thank you for caring and all the hard work you do.

[@tangie777uk]

Hello Robert,glad to see that you are well. This cemetery certainly has some unusual stones doesnt it. Great video as always,love the one with the little lamb on little Julia.So sad. Thank you

[@lucygray6162]

Rest in peace, poor little Johnston infant (17:36) born right after the Civil War when everyone was starving and often homeless "thanks" to Sherman.

[@lauriepalmer6421]

Thank you again for your cemetery finds. This one was sadder than most, for me. Quite a few without names or anything else to mark their passing . Such an old cemetery for us in the US.

[@j2themac778]

Thank you Robert and Cody for the update video on this fascinating cemetery. Personally I think there is a certain peaceful beauty in cemeteries like this where nature is reclaiming the land. I'm not talking about cemeteries that are vandalized or used as trash dumps, but nature left unchecked just doing her thing. Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to the next video!

[@lindamccaughey6669]

Gosh Robert I loved that. I really don’t understand the thumbs down. I love the way you do these the respect you show I’m sure they would appreciate. Look forward to the next one

[@nancig9648]

It’s a really great thing your doing. It’s so important to have any type of documentation. My mother is genealogist and I know how much this appreciated. Someone in the future will be looking for these ancestors graves. Do you keep a written copy, or maps. Local historians would really appreciate this information. Sorry, I’m new to your channel and you may do these things already. So impressed with the care. Hello from Canada.

[@Thomas.A0689]

another great video.. tq to u and ur team.

[@LifeMostSouthern]

I love seeing all those old graves.

[@lisalee6496]

Its really cool of you to find these graves and share them with us. Thank you for that. @Sidestep Adventures Try not to touch the spot where the stinging nettle zaps you. You can push the poisons in deeper and that can cause the irritation to last a lot longer. Days longer in some instances. Many blessings to you! 🙏

[@frankscarborough1428]

Thanks for another interesting video🙏

[@marywright6759]

Thank you for doing this. So sad to see abandoned cemeteries.

[@rebeccas4899]

When you are uncovering the concrete slabs over graves that you mention are "unmarked," were they perhaps originally marked and the headstones have been tipped over and are buried by time? Or were they not marked at time of interment? I have wondered that while I watch your videos.

[@ParkerUAS]

There may have been a marker that has since been lost or destroyed. Quite often you will see a couple of holes in the slab that would have been supports for an upright marker.

[@GodsBarnChurch]

I can’t but help wonder that the missing stone maybe there. I’m sure if the graveyard was cleaned up perhaps some of the stones would be found

[@cathiez9131]

Robert -- thank you for braving those nasty deer flies! We have them here too and they're the worst! Thanks for another wonderful explore!

[@rosalinegibbons6592]

Julia and I have the same BD March 21st. I cry seeing infant graves.

[@melissadyche8325]

Hey Robert I’ll be watching for part four of the cemetery

[@talesnevertold]

Thank you for working so hard in an emotionally difficult and stressful environment . Very few have ventured where you have gone for so long. Be sure to take a rest from time to time when needed. I have been meaning to mention to you about your finding of the new redone Boone graveyard stone that mentioned that he had been born in NC. This new stone is an indication that this is an important historical stone. The original Daniel Boone came from NC, so this Boone most likely was a descendant. They eventually spread out all over the country including Texas.

[@reneestaples4963]

YAY !! Glad to see you are back !! Thought you might have got lost in the woods !!

[@hollypowell6988]

Thanks for doing these, I love to explore and unable to because of the virus this is keeping me sane

[@karenawagner2691]

Seeing these graves is so interesting but also sad to see how many people died so young and it’s sad these cemetery’s are so forgotten and grown over.

[@jamesclough2638]

Is there a township or city department that will clear out that cemetery.

[@lindsaymacpherson8782]

Another great video from you but sad to see this place in the way it is Glad you getting back out Thankyou

[@Brianthehistorynerd]

This was awesome Robert as always. Miss Kent and I share the same birth day.

[@michaelely2267]

Another good video. It makes me wonder how many grave yards like that there are around the state that have been forgotten. There seems to be a lot just in your area.

[@ranchstockstray8684]

Thank you for what you do. History is sadly being erased at a rampant pace. You are at least bringing these gone and forgotten people back to new acknowledgement and caring of their once existence.

[@brendakrieger7000]

Thank you for sharing! Sorry for all the flies and stinging nettles. Maybe keep some benadryl cream or hydrocortisone with you.

[@crystalfabulous]

Thanks for sharing

[@norsehall309]

G"Day All, except for the biting bugs and stinging plants what a wonderful place to rest and the tree roots to cuddle you in the ground, Good work Robert, Keep safe.

[@kimberleyannedemong5621]

Another excellent video. You never disappoint.
