HIDING FOR DECADES? Google Maps Target Leads to Unexpected Discovery

[@JPVideos81]

I'm still suprised with the accidental unknown discovery I made, but it did not disappoint! Let me know your thoughts on a 2025 return!

[@jameshampton3969]

Definitely an awesome find. You never disappoint with your videos.

[@wolfmanrobby]

So, what this is for is basically to slow down high flow of runoff water during a storm. The storm drains from the road and parking lots flow in to those large pipes. When there is a heavy storm, that water comes blasting down through there at a high rate and a lot of force... You don't want that much water hitting that stream with that much force. It would cause horrible erosion. Instead, the water blasts out and hits that wall. The small openings at the bottom only allow a small amount of water to come under. And, even if the water fills that space up, it's just going to spill over the top and flow down to the stream. But, not with all that force.

[@PracticalCat]

Thats a massive impact baffle! You should go there during a downpoor, I bet its terrifying!

[@jessierenox6946]

One small suggestion. Use a drone for spaces you aren’t physically able to explore. Drones can fly and record. They’re perfect for exploration and what you do.

[@JPVideos81]

I do have one, but I also don't want to spoil the surprise.

[@jessierenox6946]

@@JPVideos81 well see here’s what I’m thinking. You can release x y and z videos whenever you want. It doesn’t have to be an episode spoiler if you used a drone. You’d just have to post those drone videos after the exploration episode.

[@BlueBirdsProductions]

He means spoil it for himself​@@jessierenox6946

[@Thfeyhvfdetyhbvcd]

WARNING! ANY commercial use of a drone requires an FAA commercial drone license, or you could face severe penalties. The FAA has been known to watch KZbin videos specifically to find violators. And Karens have been known to report such videos. And yes, using a done for monetized videos IS a commercial use.

[@Missing_Xindi]

@@Thfeyhvfdetyhbvcd I know someone who mentioned doing drone videos and another person told them to get a license. The training and time has led to beautiful videos. It is worth working towards the license.

[@rebelwebdevelopment]

it's probably the drainage from the parking lot and the sediment may help filter out contaminants (oil, gas, etc) from the parking lot. I seen something similar implemented for a parking lot at a nature center I volunteered at years ago.

[@davevenables3534]

To catch oils, fuels, etc there should be an underground “tank” called an interceptor in the parking lot, which most probably will run off into a water course.

[@Melody-st4df]

"Disappointing" ?! I had a journey into the Victorian time and saw the reservoir in all it's former glory. Thank you for taking me with you!

[@musclecarmitch908]

Awesome Google maps adventure JP! I'm pretty sure the 1st location is for the parking lot runoff drainage. The bonus find is absolutely gorgeous! The old dam and that rock bottom creek is awesome! Beautiful underwater view of the fish! Thanks for bringing us along and sharing the beauty and adventure with us!👍

[@JPVideos81]

That could be true about it being the lot drainage, but it's different from what I've seen before. Glad you enjoyed the underwater view.

[@Boga217]

The headlight bulb cover is because those pipes are for storm water discharge from the roads or possibly the parking lots you were at, at the beginning . Hence why storm grates say discharges to river.

[@goofusmaximusII]

What I liked about the creek was that it appears that its not vsited by many. You could easily camp out there. So peaceful. And then the good time ruined because I would have to clean it up, hopefully with help of some friends. I couldn't just walk by it.

[@karenduncan2478]

Remember us in East Tennessee and North Carolina aftermath of Hurricane Helene, we really need the prayers!🧡🙏

Nice armchair explore. Just what I needed on a lazy Sunday ❤

[@rickreese101]

I enjoy watching your videos, especially the railroading in NEPA. My grandfather worked for the Erie. My father worked for the Lehigh Valley, Coxton [Pittston] yard. You were wondering why someone cut out the side of the boiler. It was common to see those cutouts. They were used to build or repair a snow plow blade. It was preformed for the job.

[@IainDavies-z2l]

The plant that you call Bamboo is Japanese Knot Weed, very invasive. In the UK it's banned from growing it in your garden.

[@Queenie_78]

Not in the UK in the US in PA.

[@IainDavies-z2l]

They are the same all world round.

[@StewartHall-jj7wt]

Thanks for another great video. I always enjoy it when you find pools of water and stick your camera in to show us what's happening down there. And yes to a return for some snorkelling in 2025. I also want to say that I appreciate the effort you go to in providing us with such detailed and sometimes painful explorations.

[@JPVideos81]

I appreciate that

[@holliepajak3772]

Ditto

[@swamprat9018]

it's a spill box, the metal thing you were looking at. Yould would slide boards from the top down. 6"-8"-12" tall across the width. , you adjust the height of the water by removing or inserting boards. boards have rotted out of that one.

[@adzadzy]

this was good to watch, that curved wall with the mini waterfalls was impressive, the underwater footage was cool and the stills at the end are great pictures,

[@JPVideos81]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@295g295]

a dam - the sediment is about as deep as far down to the low side

[@blueeyegemz8231]

Awesome vid JP but you had me rolling 😂 when you went into the bushes on the other side. Sorry it was not pleasant but your commentary was the icing. 😂

[@JPVideos81]

I was laughing myself when editing that part 😂

[@theadventuresedge6771]

@@JPVideos81 just exploring and complaining! 😂😂😂 Great video, beautiful place!

[@markvick3984]

That culvert system probably is there to keep the little creek from being choked out by the sediment.

[@cabamama]

Awesome find. Makes me curious as to exactly what it used to be. Hope you can dig up more info on it. Great place to snorkel.

[@jameshampton3969]

You cracked me up with the "Stuck...stuck...stuck" comment. I definitely pictured Flick with his tongue stuck to the flag pole.😂

It's my pleasure

[@Steve-ow4jt]

The entire exploration was very interesting, however the former reservoir and spillway were truly beautiful. I'll bet it would be amazing to see after a good rain. The rock formations were wonderful. It never ceases to amaze me how God takes something we made and repurposes it into something of such beauty to bring glory to himself. Loved the underwater footage. Would love to see a future snorkeling expedition. Was grateful for the invitation and will be eagerly awaiting the next great adventure. Until then take care, stay safe and God bless. Steve in Oklahoma

[@gaylebrodt676]

What an incredible adventure! You found your target, and for sure accomplished your goal! I think the whole adventure did not disappoint! It was interesting when you put us through the opening, and we could see the culvert pipe. The spillway was an awesome surprise find, the work that went into constructing it is unbelievable and it was fascinating to see the remains of the pumphouse. What a gorgeous place you found! The sound of the water never gets old, and the waterfalls, landscape, scenery, and natural rock formations are so beautiful. The underwater footage is amazing, it was fun to see the fish, some were nice sized, and the water is so clear. You always put in such great effort to bring wonderful videos, I appreciate that so much, love your videos and this one is another fantastic one! Thank you JP! 💙

[@JPVideos81]

Once again I was pleasantly suprised by my findings and glad it led to something better. I can't wait to come back to snorkel those waters.

[@sherrieh2062]

I couldn’t have said it better or more completely! I wonder what those bigger fish were…? That river looked clear and healthy! 🐟

[@SR-zi6eo]

Very cool exploration, JP. The waterfall was beautiful; yes, go back next summer and stand or sit under it! The water is very clear and that larger fish had a look on his face like he’s got some wisdom. Scenery is incredible this time of year. I’m wondering if you ran into some wild roses; extremely thorny. Thank you for taking us along; much appreciated ……🌝

[@dzymslizzy3641]

Neat! Fellow Pisces, I am jealous! LOL It appears to me that where the water is flowing "over the top" of the old spillway wall, that it is actually at the same level as the water coming through the stones, but in that area, the capstones appear to be missing.

[@JPVideos81]

Yes, good observation

I'm the same way when it comes to poison ivy or poison oak. I'll be out with someone while walking through woods or overgrown areas and they'll be like that's a bunch of poison ivy and I'll be like "Where". I don't notice it because I don't have to watch out for it. BTW, I love your videos. It's as if we're exploring together; and the fact that you document so many things that will be gone or are already gone is a service to mankind. Thank you for taking us along JP.

[@Biokemist-o3k]

Those "worms" could be leeches....Thanks for sharing such an awesome video!!!

[@TheGogglesphere]

6:55 Looks like a CSO (combined sewer overflow) where, when it rains, that flood gate opens and lets rain water runoff into the waterways. the Big wall in front of it is to slow down the water so that it doesn't erode the land.

Note about poison ivy ect. If I recall correctly, Typically if you wash the contaminated area within 4 hours with soap and water, you remove the oil which gets into your pores. Stinging nettle on the other hand...

[@2dogsmowing]

Its a drain pipe from the parking lot and runoff from the building that is above the parking lot you had to walk down to. It's so when it rains. The rain water would washout the little canal. Because the pitch and amount of flow has changed because of the surrounding commercial buildings and parking lots.

[@snagmaster1]

It’s water cleaning from parking lots in area, and then to creek, , usually has 3 steps, I’m from Michigan

The spot where you saw the fish in the water, might be a good spot to come back to in the near future and do some stealth camping.
