SHOCKING GOOGLE MAPS Find!!! I Was Thrown a Curveball...

[@JPVideos81]

When Google throws you a curveball and forces you to abandon your original plans, you have to wonder if it's for a reason?

[@rxc640]

Yes, it has happened to me a lot. I have been doing the same thing as you are since the '90's and the exactly the same since about 2008! I am up to about 50 "items" so far.

[@eastcoastmodz5195]

24:33 The car and it's location looks like an old logging road? AND to your right is a large boulder and with what looks like an opening or overhang ... Thought I would mention it.

[@rxc640]

This is one where the journey was better than the destination...

[@D3M3NT3Dstrang3r]

Incase you didn't know you can find historical aerial maps on a site of the same name, you might be able to find one old enough to see how the car made it there. netronline - historicalaerials

[@ledicarusmedia]

Great finds in the forest, the car has probably been back there since the area was more recently abandoned and the washout was a road or lane back into the trees. The random firing ranges were, once again, a reminder you should have a blaze orange ballcap on for safety when you are back in random forests but still near civilization. The best thing I've added to my hiking pack is a 1x1ft medium pile microfibre towel (like the kind you clean your car dash with) for wiping off sweat from my head & face. It makes a substantial difference in keeping my vision for taking pictures clearer and keeps me cool by removing moisture. It works a thousand times better than paper towels and is washable and reusable on the next adventure. I love these Google find videos, I can't drive anymore so I live vicariously through your video adventures :) ~Kevin

[@musclecarmitch908]

Awesome Google maps adventure JP! The car is a 1951 ford 4 door sedan, awesome find! My dad had a black one like it. Thanks for bringing us along! 👍

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks for sharing that. It was such an unexpected find.

[@georgeparker7409]

That car is a 1950. Note the dashboard. The 1951 was different than '49 and '50.

I didn't do bad...I guessed a Ford between 50-53.

[@Richardofdanbury]

While you say that the car did not come in through what is now the washout. Since the 1950's much could change after all it is 3/4's of a century. That wash out may have been an access road that overtime became a drainage washout. Also the wash out may have changed the edges causing collapses of the sides; man-made dumping; tree growth and falls... so much could have changed since that old vehicle chugged it's way up the trail.

[@JPVideos81]

That is true. Depending on the length of time, the landscape probably changed multiple times.

[@ridgehilljillie9429]

I agree. There would have most likely been a dirt road back to that area to gather up the coal by car or truck. Seventy years of vegetation can really change the landscape.

[@jayhat]

Yeah an unused logging road can look crazy after even a couple years of disuse.

[@margaretzastawecky9700]

I enjoyed the trip though the woods. I'm 76 and when I was younger I used to take adventures like you do. It was a great trip thanks for sharing

Second target. See lots of water, young green wood trees, a splash, ripples on the water surface. I believe you found a beaver's home.

Great reporting! That car went there when the mine was in use with the access roads and all of the the workings were happening, I reckon.

[@Steve-ow4jt]

Hey Jay What a cool treck through the wood. Walking the woods is one of the most peaceful and serene ways to become closer to our maker. The car was totally awesome. Just wish I knew more about what kind it was. The targets may have been nothing more than trash, but it was tge journey that made it worth while. Thanks for the adventure and am looking forward to seeing where the next journey takes us. Until next time, stay safe and God bless. Steve in Oklahoma

[@Dayle-o2k]

That car must have many stories as well as the area. Very interesting trip... And that bicycle fender... You can imagine so many things back in the day when you come across finds like this.

Ford twin spinner 1951 model very cool cars do up mate I you have a hand gun mate be safe

[@gigicostlow4414]

Love when you have some surprise finds. That car would be a perfect spot to do some really cool light painting. Doesn't matter if what you find is good or not. The scenery and the adventure is always fun. I believe the bark stripping is from a squirrel with the bottom being chewed and the dirt sort of loosened at base of tree. At first I thought porcupine but kind of unusual for one to chew a small spot at the bottom like that and it's not a very big spot further up the tree. Plus I didn't see any of the trees with big areas of stripped bark at the top of the trees where porcupines love to be. It is possible a deer did it but again they don't usually strip bark or rub on a tree next to the ground like that. The splash sounded like a deer.

[@paulzimmerman6058]

Pop up hunting blind. It's camo, so you're not supposed to see it in the woods, lol .. awesome adventure.I'm glad you took us along.

[@kimberlywest2695]

Honestly, you should think about taking a metal detector with you! You never know what you might find!

[@suckOnThese3]

I would recommend a personal emergency locater first and for most. You never know what may find you in the woods.

[@lidiane6994]

I just thought about the metal detector as well-who knows what has fallen off of people over the years-pocket knives, coins, buttons etc.

[@adamtereska8734]

Very cool video. The car is a 1949-51 Ford, based on the rear quarter panels with the body lines going to the taillights.

[@crudbucket82]

That cold air coming out of the cave is most likely from running water. I'll bet is a river cave. Get ahold of the "action adventure twins". They'll go down any hole.

[@dianacanales2526]

Love your "Nature's carpet" shirt, Jay!😊 On how did the car get there: Possibly dropped by a large tornado several decades ago? Or hauled there, like you said, by heavy equipment. That rocky terrain looks so challenging and reminds me of how beautifully smooth & nice all the rail trails are you usually ride. The target 2 trek had me a bit nervous when you kept hearing branches being snapped. Glad you're safe! Quite the adventure! Great job at persevering!💙👍

[@Figgatella]

That’s an old Rambler Jay! Probably a 62 or 63.

[@SuellenGlascock-Horton]

You know, I would be totally creeped out if I came up on dead bodies or some kind of crime scene. I do hope you take protection because you never know if you might come up on a bear or other type of danger. Please do try to keep safe! Also, was enjoying your videos so much I ended up watching one on TV and another on my phone, lol! My family used to take walks like these in the spring. It would be 10 or 20 of us walking in the woods, usually looking for some old home place or something.

[@louisclosz4358]

From other shows I watch the stacked stones usally mean it was a old homestead or camp at one time. You should definitely bring a medal detector

[@shaibishop7081]

The rock is used for camping. You would build a rockwall and put your fire in front of it. One for blocking the wind and 2 the rocks will hold the heat. Love your videos bro

[@mariebelladonna437]

Maybe I've watched too many Mr. Ballen videos, but my first thought upon seeing those old tents, with belongings still inside, was that you'd stumbled upon a lost hiker's last shelter. It makes sense that it was most probably an old hunting camp, as others have said. And I'm glad that's all it was. But I sure do hate seeing people just leave their garbage. Especially in a beautiful, pristine area like that.

[@Kevmaster2000]

I’m always thinking this seems like the start of a MrBallen case.

[@devilblueduke]

That second trailer was the scale house and the concrete pads were the ramps for the drive on scales. The front of that trailer was the "office" portion the windows are faced at the scales. The wall inside had a cutout for a window unit a/c it looks like. As far as value they're only worth scrap.

[@stevelee5724]

8:07 you couldn't carry your bike that little distance ? And it's not a good place or a gun range between two roads ?! Wow

[@JBJHonez]

That’s pretty cool to do that and find those things. A lot of that looks fairly old that it hasn’t been used in years and that’s why all the vegetation has grown up and you can easily see access to the area. It doesn’t take long for Mother Nature to grow back once people leave areas alone for a few years

[@truracer20]

The second location is likely someones hunting spot. The marks in the tree bark may be from a self climbing tree stand.

[@margaretwallaces3625]

That was a great hike. The car did it for you but the house & cave were my favourites. Thanks, I really enjoyed this.

[@justinhobart8747]

Come on Jason, I thought you were a Ford guy... 😜 Takes this Chevy guy to tell you what it is, lol! That Jason... is 100% a 1950 Ford Four Doors Sedan. It's not a 49', and It's not a 51'. The 49' has a gas cap with no fuel cap door. The 50' has a gas filler door with a cap under it, like most cars today... The 51' has a different looking dash that looks completely different. Popularly called the "Shoebox Ford" for its slab-sided, "ponton" design, the 1949 Ford is credited both with saving Ford and ushering in modern streamlined car design with changes such as integrated fenders and more . The design would continue through the 1951 model year. 🤔 Maybe it was an old cop 🚨 car, somebody stole it... lol

[@JPVideos81]

Lol I never claim to be an expert... I'm more familiar with 70s & newer Fords. Thanks for the info though

Hey, there's Bonnie and Clyde car

[@jonfrancis59]

There is an old technology that has been used by many Teen explorers to enable them to cover vast mountain terrains... You take a two wheeled lightweight structure and attach a gas powered engine with controls for breaking and acceleration, drive system and fuel storage that supplies the engine and that moves the structure of which you sit upon and control using your eyes, hands, feet and smarts to make it go and take you wherever you dare attempt. I believe it is called a Dirt Bike or an off-road Motorcycle! Lol Sorry, couldn't help myself.... Hilarious.... Love the videos though, as I am too old now to get out there and your vids refresh my memories in exploring the beauty in nature, and what lies at the end of unknown paths... Awesome

[@jamesalinio5277]

Very cool find on the old car JP, it must have been driven there then abandoned for whatever reason, I'd say probably before the 1970's, is it possible that the area was a strip mine or slim shaft mine?

[@Johnketes54]

I would say before 70s looks like a volvo? Like Coumbo

[@gaylebrodt676]

That was so awesome, love your google maps adventures! Really beautiful landscape! It would be fun to explore that cave or chamber more, that was such a neat find! That car though was such an incredible find! I wonder just exactly how that got there, can you imagine the story behind that? So cool! Just watched the video again and listened really close to the portion where you said to listen closely, and I definitely heard a splash and we did see some ripples in the water too, must have been some kind of big critter that decided to take a dip or a fish jumping? That was crazy! What a great video JP, thank you! 💙

[@northshorekingskids]

I suspect that the car was part of a flood. It was right there where the creek goes thru a big deep gully. It never had more than a small creek going thru it. When I was a kid, our place in the country flooded after a big rain storm. It was enough that it tore out the road. The county brought giant stones (as big as volkswagons) to fill in that part of the gully so they could fix the road. The next day, it rained like that again, ans ALL those boulders were washed away! I'm 70 now, and it's never happened again!

[@dixiecup3928]

Good video. Like the cave addit and the old car. It got spooky with that animal with the 2nd target. Maybe that was a beaver? and the dead fall branch on the tent. Kind of spooky. Dont think car was a 57 Chevy. Looks like maybe early 50s or 40s.

[@Camden09]

I agree JP, something ominous about that part of the woods. It does seem to have a creepy vibe to it, and that car you found. It is very odd It got there. To me it looks like it could be an early 1950s model.

[@JPVideos81]

@@JPVideos81”He explained the origin of bewildered. The word that described that sense of confusion and disorientation did not come from a term meaning “incomprehension” or “surprise” but from the same root word as wilderness. Those who were lost in a frightening and foreign land were the bewildered. Or they had been, back when wilderness was so common as to demand its own words for the experience of being lost in it. The word had been hijacked by civilization, of course, as everything had been. You could now say you’d been bewildered during a text-message exchange. But the term could be traced back to the verb wilder. That was the act of intentionally leading people astray, of causing them to become lost and disoriented.”

As for rocks stacked up in the middle of nowhere, at one time fields and home sites are cleared of rocks. Many times fences are made from the field rocks.
