Startling Occurrence Happened While Exploring UNIQUE Culvert System

[@JPVideos81]

What did you think of these massively unique culverts? That little pool of water really felt great, except for that startling experience... 😂😂😁

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

And that's where and when Jay discovered a new species of fresh water piranhas. Thanks, Jay. we needed a refreshing swim. Central California 👀

[@MEL2theJ]

​@@theodoredugranrut8201 😄 We were saying the same thing "fresh water piranhas."

[@robertmason7596]

Nice swimming hole

[@severnsea]

Really different from anything I've seen here in the UK, except for the main underwater river culverts under the big cities. Very enjoyable watch, I like your presentation, a lot of these videos often don't describe what we're seeing but you do a fantastic job. Easy subscription.

[@haseo8244]

Think it’s based on old European design for natural mortar free structures like mines and catharandels.

[@jerrycallaio5130]

Those "Sand Bags" Were Probably A Woven Porous Polypropylene Type Material Filled With Dry Hydraulic Cement And/Or Concrete/Cement; Which They Stuffed Into The Voids And As They Absorbed Water/Moisture Eventually Cured And Hardened.

[@sonplusone7059]

That intro was great!! That was definitely very cool. I can’t believe those fish were nipping at your toes/legs. You certainly know how to have fun on a hot and humid day. Actually this summer has been full of hot and humid days. Have a great weekend JP. Always stay safe, as I know you will.

[@JPVideos81]

Gotta stay cool somehow, yet still have some fun. Hope you guys are staying cool.

[@robertmanley7556]

The nibbling fish !!!🤣🤣Those culverts were cool for sure nature is amazing and beautiful!! Great video as always !!👍👍👍

[@JPVideos81]

🐠😁

[@jackgill2501]

Thanks for taking us along; another great adventure!

[@CallMeAdam2023]

I think those little fish were more than likely washed down or swam to that pool at high water time. They were trying to swim up onto the spillway. Its normal for them to nibble on your legs and feet though, its the dead skin cells they eat. No, it doesn't mean your nasty or anything, our bodies are constantly shedding dead skin cells. (You're right some spa places use them for foot treatments) The fish are called Garra Rufa. And some souces say they are starved to death so they eat anything, but that cant be the case living in that large pool of water.

[@JPVideos81]

As much as I go in natural water sources, it was a first for me.

[@SubPablum]

I've come across those before, it actually hurts a bit. They are very brave and persistent. Might be what that garter snake was hunting, they are fish eaters.

[@gillwyatt8103]

Saturday morning, coffee and an adventure with JP!! When I still lived in S. Africa I had the same experience with little fish nibbling at my feet while I was sitting on a beach next to a rock pool. I guess they enjoy the taste of our skin!! Gill 🇬🇧

[@JPVideos81]

[@DougYeager-i8b]

Here in Florida we have a few critters that will “nip” at you if you take a dip. 😂

[@JPVideos81]

😂

[@barbara-pigeonbray4579]

The culverts were awesome .. I always admire the workmanship in these structures ....especially the old brick ones . That dip in the water looked like a lot of fun ... especially on a hot humid day like we've been having lately . Thank you for taking us along for the adventure . 🐟🐟🐟🐟👍💙

[@JPVideos81]

This was the perfect location for a hot summer day. Glad those little fish were friendly.

[@jaydenepick7043]

JP YOU ARE THE BEST EXPLORE CHANNEL ON THIS PLATFORM ❤❤

[@musclecarmitch908]

Awesome culvert JP! Looks like a Catheridrel in there! Big enough to be a railroad tunnel! The remnants of that hurricane brought tornadoes to my area when it came through, one came within 3 miles of me that day! Awesome swimming hole too! Thanks for bringing us along!

[@mariemenard4447]

You will find a huge culvert under Hill Street in Louisville, Kentucky. It’s big enough to drive a steam locomotive to drive through.

[@dianacanales2526]

Beautifully done video, Jay! Love the lush scenery, the lovely sights & sounds of rushing water, and the fascinating architecture of that massive culvert! Nice to see you in your element & having fun. Thanks for bringing us along!😊💙

[@JPVideos81]

I certainly enjoyed myself

[@DavidUstick]

I agree with most... beautiful and peaceful, I would make that a place to visit often. Thank you for taking us along

[@JPVideos81]

I'll be back for sure to enjoy it.

[@CallMeAdam2023]

I remember your first under water camera that you tried on the channel. This footage goes to show how much technology has changed.

[@stevemergy6087]

Almost a work of art! I appreciate you exploring this for us!

[@northstar710]

I just discovered your channel and I love it! This is such a cool location and I'm glad that you took us on the adventure with you! Your channel is one of the better ones here on the site. Liked and Subscribed! 🤠

The water is soo clean. Great find 🙂

[@cabamama]

This place is awesome. So many pretty places to get in the water! And those culverts.......wow! HUGE. Look forward to a future video here. The little fish were trying to feast on your legs, ha ha! Loved this video.

[@JPVideos81]

😊

[@leadman70]

I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into your videos. I like your "never leave any stone unturned" approach. Your videos and pictures are very high quality. I know exactly how you felt when you were startled. I can remember being with my friends at a boat ramp at a nearby lake. We were sitting on the edge of the concrete ramp about chest deep where it drops off into deep water and I felt something nip at me. I paid attention until I saw that it was some baby bream biting at my my mole on my stomach. I guess they thought that dark spot against my white skin was food lol.

[@JPVideos81]

🤣

[@Nononsense-d4y]

Thanks brother. Watching you do this makes me want to get off the couch.

[@dbtech7914]

The water looks refreshing. Enjoyed the adventure and underwater video.

[@wolfsmith2865]

I'm always so envious of running water. Here in Tucson, the one river with water in it (Santa Cruz River) is fed entirely from the sewage treatment plants and street runoff during storms.

[@davidotto7666]

Thank you for exploring Pennsylvania you're showing us Boston Thomas history that we didn't even know about it in school you're better than the teachers are thank you again we appreciate your experience bringing us along and teaching US History thank you again you're awesome

[@debbieblaylock9997]

That was a awesome culvert. and the fish was very interesting in you and the photos were beautiful .have a wonderful weekend and be safe ❤

[@patriciasentz4950]

I'm glad I came back to check out this underwater adventure with you. Those culverts are amazing. That first one was absolutely otherwordly. Can't wait for more.

[@JPVideos81]

I'm already planning the next one!

[@Kimberly-dt4ko]

That was a cool culvert. That's one I would have been okay with in my younger days. All that space for the water. You aren't likely to run into trouble because you would have warning the water is starting to rise and still be able to float out if you couldn't walk in it. The smaller ones don't give you much cushion. As always the photo montage was excellent. Those fish were like water mosquitoes. Pesky and biting. Thanks for taking us along.

[@alanstant9356]

I would say how they could be startling Jay but awesome at the same time, tho too. Thanks for sharing, my friend.

[@PatriciaVincent-g2t]

Yes that is normal, the fish are eating the dry skin from your legs. People pay to set and let the fish nibble on them. Love watching your videos and wish that I could be there with you but at my age the legs couldn't take the walk. You keep videoing and I will keep viewing.

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks for coming along

[@EkoluAkuna]

Interesting first time watching your channel definitely helped me keep cool with the forestry and running water

[@Camden09]

I agree JP, that is a big tunnel. And it looks amazing. I never seen sand bags turn into concrete, very unusual to see that. I think that is definitely the biggest tunnel you found, unusual to see a water pipe running through a tunnel.

[@rxc640]

I have seen them in only one other culvert besides this one.

[@tabbycat8323]

Such a great location. It would become one of my favorite swimming holes. Thank you for the journey Jay!

[@gaylebrodt676]

Wow, those are both gigantic culverts with a very unique shape, the construction is just amazing! Wouldn't it have been interesting to watch them being built? The first one does look like a portal to another dimension, great description! What an awesome exploration JP! I never get tired of hearing the sounds of the water. Those little minnows were checking you out and I jumped during the intro when you showed that clip.😂 Looks like you had a nice refreshing dip with some hungry little fish, and I think you are right, those little fish are like the ones they use in those tanks to clean your feet.😄 Looking forward to your upcoming culvert and other videos. Excellent photos, awesome underwater footage, and a wonderful video, thank you! 💙

[@JPVideos81]

I was really surprised they built such large culverts under a highway, but they are definitely unique. That was also the first time I had fish do that to me so it gave me a good startle 😊

[@NickatLateNite]

I must admit, when I see you explore these creeks & culverts, I really miss PA... There is nothing like this in Colorado, although, it is beautiful here👍

[@JPVideos81]

I hope to visit there someday

[@NickatLateNite]

@@JPVideos81 Please do... You'll love it, it's so different than PA. We have mountains, deserts, great canyons & wide open skies👍

[@Rebecca_in_Texas]

The minnows liked you. People pay good money for that. Great location!

[@JPVideos81]

They definitely did. Free spa treatment 😅

[@allenrusselljr]

My pleasure

[@lovesmashbox]

I never seen a covert so massive. I thought of a plane storage but I don't think it's wide enough. You fine some great places to explore. We got some of the storm .we're I live in Farmington ny we had marble size hail , high winds , and heavy rain . Other parts of Farmington got soft ball size hail and in Canandaigua ny , just a short distance away , had a tornado touch down .

[@Elios0000]

Ok bit searching and the fish you found look to be Blacknose Shiners

[@williamwatson4625]

Maybe those guppies have nothing to eat there, so they're nibbling at your legs. 😄😄😄 Anyway, excellent video.

[@mikespikedog5293]

Theres one like that in Greene County, where Whiteley Creek flows under Interstate 79 not far from the West Virginia state line.

[@NancyHafler]

Thank you! That was beautiful!❤

[@newtronix]

I think its quick drying cement in those bags so they're taken in dry dropped into place and set with the water in situ.

[@offshack]

Was that Laurel Run behind the woodlands? I remember exploring around there 30 years ago when I stayed at the woodlands for a friend's wedding - it hasn't changed from what I remember.

[@gregdiamond6023]

That culvert area looks like a really cool area to explore. Looks like you had a good time, apart from The fish having a nibble on you.😂.

[@sheepdog1102]

If garter snakes are all you have to contend with no problem but where I live they’re cottonmouths, copperheads and alligators in just about every wet spot! South MS,LA. Line Not to mention all the spiders and mosquitoes that would be all over you in that tunnel.

[@mikespikedog5293]

I can't believe there's no smallmouth or mud cats in there hiding under those ledges. That stream looks plenty big enough.

[@russelltrupia4479]

Jay can't wait for the next video to this one 👍👍

[@JPVideos81]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TTdog-t4x]

Question about the cut off pipe: if it just carried water, why did it need to run for such a long distance in the first place? Couldn’t the water just empty in the regular creek/runoff going thru the culverts?

[@alexandria8255]

very cool exploration! God Bless 🙏🙏🌺

The sharp upward slope integrates the benefits of the overhead arch, with sides that are closely akin to pillars.

[@Broody58]

Theres a few creeks cut under route 81, 80, & 309, all starting at old reservoirs. These creeks roar sometimes filling 1/2 those tunnels. Unbelievable how fast the water gets ripping down from higher elevation. Those fish might be darters. They're protected. Theres native brook trout upstream that bloodlines started way before we came. They only get a few inchs big & you cant get near them. The local guys dump thier minnows in the creeks left over from fishing, because we never had fish downstream it was so polluted. Its just nice to see fish in the creek. It took decades to clean up & come back. That was a water snake. They get over a yard long & thick. They'll dive in the water & put thier tails under a rock, waving in the current like a weed. I suppose the tounge looks like a worm, the fish grab it & chomp..snake eats fish. Kegger city up there, drinking & swimming. Always wear sneakers because of glass. But its the locals paradise! We'd skip school, walk up those tunnels to the resi and enjoy life. "How'd you get sunburned in school"?? Gym class outside.

[@rxc640]

I wouldn't want to go into any culverts down there!

[@ByGraceIGo]

Great vid! Guppies! 😅😅😅😅 Well that's a really good sign that the stream is clean when there's that many fish in it and a snake and the snake was probably going after those little fish for food. But I know what you mean about the snakes most water snakes especially up north are not poisonous at all but still I don't like them around me either! I'm surprised that there was nobody else swimming there or anything because if it's a hot and humid day you would think there would be some teenagers or something down there. Where is this? Okay maybe you don't want to tell me. I would love to see this place. There's a place in many places along the Rapidan River in Shenandoah National Park and do you have to drive up on a bumpy road for 2 me and it's really clear and there's a lot of little fish like this and they nibbled at our feet and legs also, but let me tell you because the river is so Springfield it is freezing cold; even in July.

[@gigicostlow4414]

This was another fun culvert adventure. Nice swimming hole. It would be fun to tube down the culvert into the pool though the water may need to be a little deeper in the tunnel. You got the spa treatment from the Blacknose Dace. So cool and they can be annoying but they are harmless. They like to nibble on sediment you stir up, on dead skin, and sometimes they think your hair on your arms and legs are like small worms and if you have any small moles or scabs they nibble on those too. I used to sit on a rock or the bank of creeks and let them nibble on my feet to get the dead skin off plus it just felt good. Used to go barefoot a lot so had really tough callused feet that were always shedding dead skin. Yup, a free version of those places you see in other countries offering the service, though I was doing that long before the internet and I knew about those places. Looking forward to more culvert and creek videos.

Go swimming in any creek or river that has bream in it and you will be nipped on. Some of the bigger bream can leave a mark

[@metelgodful]

The water line on that wall is a lot higher than you said it was what you pointed out was where the water usually sits when it's not flowing from heavy rains when is heavy rain and that's water flowing through all that all that rock is covered in water you can see the dark line on the walls that water goes through those tunnels at 5 to 6 ft deep if not more during the rainy seasons good place for water moccasins in the second tunnel look at the walls see how high that dark spot is on the wall I bet against the 7 to 8 ft deep going through those tunnels
