Nice work buddy. Nothing like re-exploring your old back yard. I’ve been climbing all over the Boulder flatirons lately and found some pretty special new to me places, hope you can join me this summer. The wife and I are doing a really wild one tomorrow!

[@AmericasParks]

Appreciate the kind invitation - sure do wish I was with you guys in CO right now. Glad to hear you are doing well and still enjoying the outdoors!

[@Mikey-Likes-It_101]

Randy, I really enjoy the beach the most in the winter, and so nice that day for you and Julie. This is a great place to be near your home, and for finding sea glass. Interesting military history that goes all the way back to 1783. Bonus - Lighthouse and sunset! Great editing job. THANK YOU FOR TAKING US TO YOUR BEACH, . . . Mike

[@AmericasParks]

Local fun! Hope you are not running out of videos to watch, Mike. You've got to be getting close! You are watching them faster than I can produce them! lol!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

I knew nothing about this place... now I know a little! Looks like great beach combing and a perfect beach for kids. Jim & I would definitely enjoy the military history too. Nice to see and hear Julie!

[@AmericasParks]

Come to NJ! :) Plenty of room in the house or in the yard (for your trailer) if you make the haul! Thanks for watching!

[@suelittle1561]

Another great video. Nice to see you and your bride out having a wonderful time together.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks so much, Sue! Glad to get that one in a couple weeks before things took a radical turn for our country. Take care!

[@juliesmith444]

It was a great day hanging out! It was a beautiful day for winter. Nice to spend the day with my favorite person.

[@KalebJackson]

Hey Mrs. Julie Smith I'm Kaleb and on my channel I make travel vlogs on my traveling and I would appreciate it if you could come and check out my youtube channel and subscribe to it and it would make my day. Thanks man and be safe.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks! :) Hard to believe that was almost 3 months ago!

[@adventuringoutdoorswitheric]

Awesome you have a beach like that with so many great memories for you guys. The fact that you live near there you and your wife know a lot of the history. I thought the battery was cool and the fact you have the oldest lighthouse in the nation. Beautiful sunset at the end. Thanks for sharing Randy.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Eric! It's probably one of the coolest places bear our home. So much diversity! Hope all is well with you!

[@BluemoonTraveler]

Very nice place and beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing dear friend. Your trip is so great always. Big like 130. I wish you have a happy Sunday...👍👍

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you, my friend! Have a super weekend!

[@joesakraida1281]

We have visited Sandy Hook many times while living in Fair Haven NJ until moving to St George Utah. Been to Zion NP many times, including Angels Landing hike. Still own the Fair Haven house and look forward to spending warmer weather there.

[@AmericasParks]

Hey Joe, still one of my favorite places in the Garden State. You must love it over there in Utah!

[@potatothorn]

nice time on the beach/ got to love beach glass, neat old installations too... those old projectiles are Amazing wow awesome video thanks for taking us with you

[@AmericasParks]

Appreciate that! For such a small area, Sandy Hook has so much to offer. Hope all is well with you guys!

[@christinestange4813]

So glad you both had this opportunity before the quarentine set in 🙂👍 Appreciate the historical background ... especially the lighthouse history. Loved hearing about your family memories. Nice editing. Stay safe & well 😷

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you, Christine! Same to you as well!

[@ChrisHVAC]

Awesome hoodie and it's been a little more crowded on the beach every time I have visited.

[@AmericasParks]

Changing your name from Chris HVAC to Chris OBX!

[@reneeh2050]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this area and your lovely memories. Water soothes the soul, doesn’t it?

[@AmericasParks]

Sure does, Renee! Love hanging out on the beach - especially in the off-season when you have the place to yourself!

[@ATJHTRAVELS]

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you very much!

[@R72vegas]

Nice to see u again brother!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, brother! Keep fighting the good fight!

[@R72vegas]

Struggling every single day. Just pray for me brother :)

[@cynthiaschwartz559]

Beautiful there, itnis nice that you could get out and visit that the national seashore.i love Cape Cod National Sea Shore. My sister lives there.it is beautiful!!! Stay safe and God Bless!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Cynthia! The same to your good health and encouragement as well! Be blessed!

[@DestinationEarth]

Great that you had the chance to get out. It's always nice going to a place with so many memories. My parents collect a ton of sea glass. They pretty much live on the ocean now, so they walk a lot and pick it up!

[@AmericasParks]

Neat to hear of other fans of sea glass. We were really into it about 10 years ago. Take care, Josh!

[@jymnmeier3527]

Great video as always. Loved seeing Julie and hearing the memories you all shared

[@AmericasParks]

Appreciate that, Jymn! Hope all is well with you and the family! We were able to get this one in just prior to the quarantine/parks closures. Who would have ever imagined!

[@KalebJackson]

[@jymnmeier3527]

@@AmericasParks Crazy to look back at a moment in time and realize the shift in our reality. In times like these I like to notice how outside forces can influence our lives for the good and not so good as well as which parts of us maintain (mentally, emotionally philosophically and spiritually). Thanks for asking about our family :) We are well.Taking this time to shore up the pillars of our family

[@MrSportsphoto]

Great little video! Sandy Hook is right in my backyard and I don't explore there enough. Its great for a day trip or just to go walk, bike, fish or take pictures!!

[@AmericasParks]

So cool! We are from the area too and IMHO, it's one of the coolest places around. Thanks for the kind words and stay healthy!

[@colinjaeger2508]

Been here since the shut down? Thinking about taking the family tomorrow! Supposed to be pretty nice out!

[@AmericasParks]

Hope you guys had a nice time!

[@OurNationalAdventure]

Sandy Hook! What a beautiful beach and peninsula. We have never been but the sand looks so perfect. Interesting landscaping sea glass, batteries and planes and other treasures. What a great place to have so close to home. Hope you are able to enjoy as the weather warms up soon.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks and if you ever come to NJ, definitely a top place to visit! You guys would always be welcome to stop by our house as well! Take care!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

We are heading into week 7 lock down in the UK so it was real nice to see the coast, one of the many things we have missed over here. I know it was February but surprised at how deserted it looked on the beach, as it looked great there. Nice bit of history and nice to see the 13 British sailors are still remembered, when they died there, even though they had deserted. A beautiful sunset is always a winner for me and that was gorgeous! I hope you are all keeping safe and well over the pond. Take care Randy, cheers Alan

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Alan! Yes, this must have been about two weeks prior to the social distancing which immediately led to the lockdown. Who would have ever imagined. All is good with the family and happy to see you and yours are staying healthy too!

[@annachauvlog]

I like your Video. Thank you so much.♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@AmericasParks]

Very nice of you, thanks!

[@NickandRachel]

Pretty crazy how those British soldiers were so close to making it back to the ship, love seeing the old historic sites like that. Thanks for sharing!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks! Small little area, but so much fascinating history!

[@MarkH163]

Great seeing you and your wife visiting Sandy Hook Beach! Pretty cool learning about military strategic use of that area, those heavy metal artillery shots are amazing...must have been something loading those. Thank you for more videos during this unprecendented time we live in!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Mark! Really happy to hear they are bringing you some joy!

[@MarkH163]

@@AmericasParks They are, thanks! Just want to let you know I greatly appreciate these clean family-friendly videos -- a rarity in today's world!

[@SenjaAldee]

love the beach too.. but am sure the water is cold

[@AmericasParks]

Yes, especially in February!

[@thefactualconservative9922]

Are you still thinking of Mt. Saint Helens this summer? I am climbing on June 27. Also going to do ape cave and lava canyon same weekend.

[@AmericasParks]

Tough subject - we were scheduled to climb the mountain this Thursday. Pulled the plug on the trip last week. Nearly all my campsites were cancelled and the National Parks are still closed in WA. Add the weather forecast and felt it was better to do at another time. Have a great one - would have been nice to join you guys!

[@KalebJackson]

Sandy Hook is a nice beach. It is the main beach me my dad and my brother go to every year plus we always get the season passes. Nice view of the New York Skyline aye guys.

[@AmericasParks]

Right on! Such a great area.

[@kaylasmith1515]

Beautiful spot! I like the nature shoots near the beach.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Kayla!

[@KalebJackson]

Hey man I'm Kaleb and on my channel I make travel vlogs on my traveling and I would appreciate it if you could come and check out my youtube channel and subscribe to it and it would make my day. Thanks man and be safe. I also travel around New Jersey as well.

[@thefactualconservative9922]

By the way when are you and Shane going to do a cross over video with Elementary Explorers? It might be the biggest team up since Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage formed the Mega Powers before Wrestlemania IV.

[@AmericasParks]

That would be fun - they seem like a very nice family!

[@KalebJackson]

I also travel all over the Jersey Shore I also went to the next door beach of Sandy Hook, Sea Bright so you can check out those videos on my channel.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Kaleb. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@KalebJackson]

@@AmericasParks Thanks guys same to you guys as well.

[@leonardojosebenitezponte1470]

Hi nice video , I have a question what kind of editor do you use for your videos , I like make videos but I don’t have experience doing the edition , thanks

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you very much! I've been using Adobe Premier for the last 3 years. Most of the editing skills (still a lot to learn) has come by watching others and practice. It's fun... hope you continue to enjoy it yourself!

[@SenjaAldee]

what are you using for music?

[@AmericasParks]

Epidemic Sound. Subscription package with unlimited downloads.

[@SenjaAldee]

looveee the drone footage

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you! Getting harder in the US to find areas where drones are permitted.

[@ccchhhrrriiisss100]

Amazing spot!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Chris!

[@RobertLWard]

What an amazing area that is! Great edit my friend! Man, I forgot to call you AGAIN. Its not like ive been really busy here at home...sorry bout that! We( at the wife's request) are putting together a 4-5 day trip up the 395 towards Northern California to visit some stops along the ay that are still open. That's the jist of questions I have for you regarding various sites that you have been too. Most are open except the visitor centers, etc. I want to hit such areas as Smith River NRA, Lava Beds, Manzanar, Mono Lake,and Trona Pinnacles( BLM) and maybe Cascade Siskyou, etc. Just gonna wing it day to day and see what we can do. The wife wanted more different scenery other than deserts and suggested Nor Cal so I said" Lets go". Plan on leaving the 17th. Hoping to be able to talk with you before if I can remember to call.! take care bro!

[@AmericasParks]

Sounds good! That's a great area - would really enjoy getting back up there myself.

[@KalebJackson]

Nice Sunset over the Sandy Hook Bay isn't it? Lol.

[@AmericasParks]

Absolutely!

[@beckybooboo600]

Does anyone remember a elevated bar that sat towards the front of the park, maybe about a third of the way down?

[@AmericasParks]

Personally not sure on that one, William.

[@sirgalahad1470]

7:30 Are any of these homes occupied. They look really cool but very old

[@AmericasParks]

No, most of the buildings are run by the NPS now.

[@MuncherBeesASMR]
