UNEXPECTED EXPLORATION - I Have to See This for Myself! Dunmore #7

[@JPVideos81]

I hope you enjoyed the views from the land, air & water. I still think this was drained intentionally for repair work. Thanks for checking out this spur of the moment revisit.

[@barbara-pigeonbray4579]

I think it was drained intentionally too ...maybe for maintenance and repair ..Loved the video !!

[@whitewolf12ca]

great video thanks

[@dellahaloo8415]

🤩😍

[@michelleomer1047]

Awesome explore 😎

[@michaeldomanski9352]

the concrete rings around the pipe are actually weights to keep it where they laid the pipe. in times of high fast moving water they don't want it moving and causing a break.

[@josephpolaski5835]

JP when repairs needed we would open the blow off valve to get the required level we would need. I know thats what I did. I got reservoir levels every thursday so they could be reported to the government agency.

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks again for sharing

[@dianacanales2526]

I have to say the drone footage was my favorite, with that dramatic music made it feel like watching a movie at the theatre. 2nd was a tie between the underwater footage and the refreshing sound of water pouring out of that pipe along the wooded bank. Could almost feel the coolness of it. Awesome video!! Really well done!💙👍

[@j.haulum2444]

Not boring at all. Love flying along with your drone footage, only without leaving my chair.

[@lauradarnall227]

Absolutely beautiful drone footage there Jp

[@cynthiacleaver9742]

This is far from boring!! This is beautiful…loved all!! Thank you!! 💖💙💖💙💖💙💖

[@seabee73]

You always have interesting adventures. Thanks

[@davidross5169]

That was fun!!!!!lots of things to see,and explore

[@sonplusone7059]

Amazing footage JP. Can’t wait to get a drone. What a difference it makes for the viewers and the video

[@kamoonrathewolfgod9189]

The music you picked for the drone footage was spectacular as was the view. I wonder how old those buildings are. They all look ancient. I wish I had places to explore like that. The area is so beautiful. I would have to drive probably for hours to find a place. Your photos are great.

[@JPVideos81]

I'm guessing early 1900s, but could be older. Thanks for watching.

[@Spencer02]

That is an amazing place JP, I love the underwater footage. It's always fascinating to me, to see dry river beds. You get to see what's normally underwater and do some digging.

[@JPVideos81]

Agreed

[@lisarobertson5164]

Boring...absolutely not. Anyone that would say that needs to go back to playing their video games. Once again, you've found a really cool explore. And yes, did you smell cucumbers ? Looks like a great hang out for copperheads to me ! Thank you once again for inviting us to come along.

[@christinereed3337]

Never boring for me😊! Enjoyed the relaxing drone footage!💙!

[@ksokie63]

Thanks JP👍, great little look back . Always good to see your views. Have a great weekend🖐

[@SR-zi6eo]

Loved the whole video, JP! I especially enjoyed the drone footage and also hearing the sound of the Kill deer birds when you were walking the lakebed. I wanted a cup of that water coming from the pipe! Thank you for taking us along; always appreciated! …..🌝

[@bluebonnet1014]

Another great video. Beautiful views from the air and I love when you take us underwater to look around. Happy Sunday!

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks for visiting

[@sherryh7485]

Fabulous drone scenery.

[@julietteneylon4243]

One of your best yet. Loved drone footage. We dont have that many dams where i am so i find this very interesting and mesmerizing. Thanks for sharing

[@alexandria8255]

Very nice info and scenery! That e-bike is nice. God bless 🙏🙏🚲🚲

[@dreamagination-infinite]

This unexpected explore is a gem! I love reservoirs and water related places. I loved the areal footage and the underwater footage. So exciting to see everything from far above and then dive in under the surface of the water and explore what nature treasures lie beneath. I also very much enjoyed the part of the explore with the man made waterfall/ pipe coming out of the woods. This is a beautiful place. The entire area has so many beautiful sites. -Thank you for taking us with you, JP! Looking forward to the reservoir explore of the one you mentioned in the end. 💫

[@alanstant9356]

I enjoyed that walk Jay. That pipe with water coming out of it is my favorite spot. All the water you can drink or at least looked safe to drink lol.

[@LumberjackPa]

I haven't been to Blue Marsh in quite some time but, my Dad and I used to go there fishing and in the winter they purposely lowered it to dredge according to my Dad. That made it really easy for us to gather all types of free fishing tackle.

[@JPVideos81]

Very cool!

[@Tammy-mi4pi]

I think I'm growing very fond of your photography at the end.

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks so much. I love taking photos.

[@gaylebrodt676]

Amazing exploration and fun bike ride! I know I have said this before, but that is incredible landscape, you are completely surrounded by beauty and by no means at all boring! It seems to me that you are right in thinking this was done for remediation. Love all the old structures and the construction of the steps and even got to see some nature's corn dogs lol! Fantastic drone and underwater footage, I was looking for some fish, it was really clear and yes you covered land, air, and water and I loved it all! I wanted to be here for the live premiere so badly, but I enjoyed the replay. Photos are gorgeous as always! Great video JP, thank you! 💙

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks for catching the replay and for sharing your thoughts.

Thank God I get to experience going outdoors with you when stuck inside with our nasty weather in UK. So many places you visit remind me of my local area. ❤

[@JPVideos81]

Glad you enjoy my adventures

[@rxc640]

At 14:38, that pipe is new. One of the floods took the old one out! It was in the creek for a little while.

[@gregdiamond6023]

Really cool drone footage J! It reminds me of the dam in Mississippi when I went to college All the goo was cool. The footage at the beginning was neat but nothing like a drone in the air.

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks!

[@SarahOSeamans]

Hopefully to be repaired for the summers to come! A great swimming spot.

[@JPVideos81]

Hopefully

[@TheOregonianPNW]

Love the adventure videos! Keep it up brotha man

[@MrIceman22]

Wow what a great video you get here keep up the great work JP :D

[@703am]

I agree, i think it was drained for some repair work, they drain a local lake and dam near me every so many years to inspect and if necessary, do repair work. interesting video

[@doctordeath.5716]

I remember this area brother. The reason I can think of why there is concrete on the pipe is to hold it down and in place.

[@williambromage9092]

when we were younger we all used swim there...old number 7

[@caramel5352]

Curious to see if the other Dunmore dams were all destroyed like this one? Could you possibly do a travel video of all the Dunmore Dams?

[@dianne20010]

I love looking at what you do

[@robertgemski6524]

Careful my friend the water company is issuing trespass fines anywhere they have signage …on that day the watco employee told me that specific res was being drained and is off limits . He also told me one more which was being drained in our area

[@musclecarmitch908]

Awesome unexpected explore video JP! That is such a beautiful place and the drone footage is spectacular! My guess on the concrete around the old pipe is to keep it from moving around underwater and breaking. I sure hope they leave that area like it is, they've been removing old dams and locks in my area and returning the rivers to their natural state but I don't like it they have been there for over 100 years and it's just a boring river without them. It even caused a popular ferry ride to shut down because the water isn't deep enough anymore. I wish they would just let the cool old stuff from the 1800's be.

[@JPVideos81]

I hear ya. Hopefully this one remains intact.

[@raylamascus2296]

Great video Jay

[@lifewithlacy7190]

I love going to strippen pits.Some of them have clear water to.Theyre beautiful.

[@tracirittenhouse233]

Blue Bottom was awesome and at one time, a pretty popular spot for swimming. Hopefully, that is not what is going on here as your videos from here are always so beautiful.

[@JPVideos81]

Wish I got to see it before they Decommissioned it.

[@tracirittenhouse233]

You would have lost your mind lol The kid in me is sad but the adult in me can see how it could be dangerous. I will be curious to see what it looks like in a more natural state.

[@BonitaBears29]

beautiful as always

[@JPVideos81]

Thank you! 😊

[@ponetwozerodrone3707]

The concrete case on the metal pipe is to prevent the pipe from floating when the pipe is empty.

[@SarahBlume65]

Great video! I liked it all. What did you use to film under water?

[@JPVideos81]

My action camera

[@jeffoswald203]

FYI the bird I hear in the background of your clip is a killdeer bird it has a nest where you were walking they make nests on the ground, and it was very mad you we’re really close to it’s nest at a few points .

[@wyattshoulders1794]

Well JP I think you might have to check up on this location keep us updated if you find out anything

[@Paulie1232]

Beautiful 😁

[@jeffreybaker2687]

I'm just guessing, but I believe those are concrete collars at the pipe joints. It was possibly done that way, either that is not welded joints or the are there to keep the pipe from being dislodged.

[@barbara-pigeonbray4579]

Loved this video...💙👍 great intro .....also, the drone montage was awesome with a perfect choice in music...Such a beautiful area with the wonderful old structures .This may be a "dumb" question but.. " How do they refill the reservoir ? "..Natural spring water ?

[@JPVideos81]

There's already a source of water feeding into it, mostly likely mountain streams or a mixture of sources. All they need to do is shut the valve that is draining and it will fill up naturally.

[@rikspector]

Jay, That was really enjoyable, by the way, do you know the name of that reservoir, I'd like to research it and the buildings? A lot of work went into the construction and, as you said, it's still somewhat active. Cheers, Rik Spector

[@rxc640]

What photo group on facebook do you belong to that you were able to see the water very low?

[@milesandhikes]

This kind of place is right up my alley! I thoroughly enjoyed this one, JP! I wonder what those concrete things covering the pipe are for? (Post10 needs to chime in! lol) and what that pipe/"waterfall" was for? All in all, an awesome video! Can't wait to see more :) PS: your drone shots were incredible too! inspires me to learn how to fly mine better

[@JPVideos81]

Guess we both like the same alleys lol. A few people chimed in about the pipe saying it could be natural gas to protect it and someone else said it's weights to keep the pipe in location. Whatever it is, it's my first time seeing it. Glad you enjoyed the flight. Best way to get better is to get in the air and experiment with different shots.

[@milesandhikes]

@@JPVideos81 definitely like the same alleys! Lol Ahh that makes so much sense: weights to keep the pipe down! And yeah, I agree with the drone, I definitely need to put it up in the air way more.

[@catherineengle4196]

It looks so different there without the normal water. I remember the video you made 3 years ago. It doesn't seam like it's been that long ago. I wonder if where the water is gushing in, there was maybe a collapse on that wall? They had to drain it to fix it. I am just guessing... that is about all I can think of...great video. At times during the aerial footage around those old buildings it looked like you were around an old castle. Lol. I wonder how long it will take to fill. ✌

[@JPVideos81]

An old castle is exactly what comes to mind. I'd imagine it can fill back up in less than a week.

[@GarryWest-qx4ub]

Natural gas pipe lines add concrete to the complete pipe under water crossings so they do not float up.

[@jeanwilson9628]

Where is this?

[@GoobiesFunZone]

I wonder if the pipe that has the water coming out is how they fill the lake. Or maybe it’s a run off pipe for something

[@JPVideos81]

I could be wrong, but I believe the pipe with water draining out is how they drain the lake. It's a way for water to continue flowing once it gets below the spillway. There's most likely an opening or intake somewhere beneath the surface closer to where that foundation is in the water.

[@rxc640]

At 4:34, I only see it on the 1940 Penn Pilot.

Those ones on 502 are heavily watched. I know people who got fined for just walking around there.

[@timchad277]

I don't think they are protecters as much as weights to keep the pipe from floating up when submerged.

Maybe dual purpose? Or like you said, possibly weights.
