Tank Hollow hike

Amazing easy hike near Jim Thorpe. Can be a 15 minute hike, if you park close

[@TheStuport]

There are quite few hiking areas that I especially love to go to in southern Ohio near The Old Man's Cave area! I have always enjoyed the isolation in the deepest part of the trails! Eerily quiet except for wildlife and wind but teasingly surreal in how the atmosphere drapes itself over you as you walk and explore, touch and smell and pretty much let your Soul Inhale the aroma of literally untouched land. LOVED seeing those two itty bitty tress with the Yellow Witch Hazel in the middle of the path @ 9:20! that "Whole New World" @ 11:11 was beyond words! Glad you and your crew could experience this together! MOO From COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋

Enjoyed the walk. Hiking can be so relaxing and good for the soul.

What a beautiful view

[@SteveJohnson-ov6xt]

Great start to the video. Lol. You have an infectious smile. Love that you're adding humour. You're a natural vlogger. Very beautiful scenery.

Beautiful hike. Your knowledge of plants amazes me. Guess I say that every time. LOL Many blessings.

[@Imnotlostimexploring]

Tank Hollow is one of my favorite hikes! The view is spectacular all four seasons :)! The last few times I’ve been there I saw a few copperheads. The Lehigh Gorge State Park is a beauty as if Hickory Run :)! Thanks for sharing!

[@PACreekWalker]

@@Imnotlostimexploring I'd love to see a copperhead or rattlesnake!

[@Imnotlostimexploring]

@ late spring and late summer are the best times to see them. Pretty much any warm sunny day copperhead can be found there. I’ve never personally encountered a rattle snake at Tank Hollow. I have encountered one on the Glen Onoko falls trail .

[@PACreekWalker]

@Imnotlostimexploring Absolutely love Glen Onoko!

[@Imnotlostimexploring]

@@PACreekWalker me too! There is so much beauty packed in that little area! The falls, the stream, the trails, the river, tunnels, overlooks.. One of my favorites places!

[@joefixit7666]

Did you say a bearea? I like it! 🐻🤣 what an epic view! Thanks for the cool videos!

[@godsstruggler8783]

I wasn't expecting that scene at the end of the tunnel. Stunning and a bit worrying when realising how high up you were. I saw my first ever erythristic badger a couple of nights ago. It walked alongside the works van just a yard from my door and then just stared at me. I didn't know there were brown coloured badgers in existence until I looked it up (it's a very rare genetic mutation). Autumn and Spring are my favourite seasons. Those shots of yours into the woods were just beautiful. Thanks for sharing these wholesome videos - they cheer me up.

[@PACreekWalker]

@godsstruggler8783 oh wow did know that either, where do you live that has badgers?

[@godsstruggler8783]

​@@PACreekWalker I'm in central England and a hundred yards from a large park with a lake and wooded areas. We see lots of black and white badgers - even seen them roaming in pairs - but I didn't know that brown ones existed. The one I saw had a bushy coat and orange eyes. There are also Albino badgers but I've not seen one of those yet.

[@Joseph_Zimmerman]

That view looking down across the hills... beautiful!

[@frugalsquirrel1725]

I've heard the reason oak trees sometimes grow together in clusters is because squirrels will bury the acorns close together for winter storage, then forget where they buried them.

[@PACreekWalker]

@@frugalsquirrel1725 makes sense!

[@jasonjones5213]

Wow, looks like a beautiful place.Especially that view at the end.

[@Paleoman52]

I really enjoyed this video! The view at the end was spectacular. Our leaves haven't reached peak color yet but should this week. Lots of conglomerate (pudding stone) on the hill top. Awesome hike!

[@daleshisler2955]

Ohhh, neat trail. Loved towards the overlook how the trail closed like a tunnel. How cool it would be to have a Reading Blue Mountain and Northern steam train (the 2102) come through the gorge while you were up there! That’d be really lucky though. One quick thought, might be a good idea to wear a blaze orange hat or vest on state ground during hunting season? Good video, thanks for the look into that area.

[@Pointtostones]

I'm a sucker for Red Bulls even after having kidney stones. No judgement, here. I hiked the AT, in 2021. PA or shall I say, Rockselvania, was a beautiful section. You should see Max Patch, NC in the fall. I escaped to FL to get away from the cold. I'm finding fossil coral geodes in Tampa. You should try and get down there to find some of the agates, drusy, and bot crystals. By far one of my favorite rocks so far.

[@MRNC]

nice one, looking good too. :P

[@perfectleveladventurefishi619]

[@kaikaitoutou]

[@JeraldBustamante-d1o]

[@JeraldBustamante-d1o]

I hope you had a wonderful day today Beautiful young lady

[@JeraldBustamante-d1o]

Hello Beautiful young lady 🌺🌸🌼🌻🪻I have seen plenty of rattle snakes when I was growing up in Texas and now that I live in NC I’ve also have seen plenty of copper heads here in NC and 2 years ago I got bitten by a 4 foot copper head and I didn’t go to the hospital either I removed a lot of the venom with peroxide and I give thanks to God I’am still here texting a Beautiful young lady…. I hope you had a wonderful day today…

[@Sgthangover]

For reference I use to live outside of Naples NY by Canandaigua Lake these videos always remind me of that area

[@dannywhelchel4801]

Very nice love the wich hazel

[@Parker307]

That lichen is called the British Soldier Lichen, because the British wore redcoats and they have those red parts. Also I think lichen is generally pronounced "like-en" I have not heard it pronounced "lick-en" but I guess it could be a regional pronunciation I have not heard.

[@user-vg4cg4uw9c]

wow, a really cool place. The lichens are known as 'British red-coat soldier' lichens.

[@Ephesians617]

You live near such a beautiful and resourceful area, you are beyond blessed! I am curious as to what geological event happened to produce such gem quality crystals in that region? and are there gem mines near by also... Oops I should have finished the video to comment😅

[@OneFiveGsus]

Lost River Caverns isn't far...never been there myself but looks cool to visit. Reservations are required for a guided tour and there is a fee of $16/adult 11/child.. Thats what the website sez anyway. Ever been there Fern?

I would love for you to do a video of Haycock Mtn trail in Nockamixon State Park. No creek, but lotsa boulders!

@@pyontasansan i will definitely check that out! Thanks for the suggestion

[@OneFiveGsus]

@@PACreekWalker Haycock Mountain is on the opposite side of Mountain View Dr which borders the State Park itself. Top Rock Park is on State Gamelands 157, which acesses the trail or whatever. Never actually checked it out if my memory serves...perhaps tomorrow a visit.

Good video. I'm lucky if I could identify a maple tree. I think that's what I seen yesterday. It was the brightest orange. It will be in my video, but for the first time ever, I've divided a near hour video into 3 that are hopefully easier to watch and keep viewer's attention. It will be in the last of the 3.

@@PACreekWalker You could get fined if you are found collecting them. That includes fossils, sand, etc. I think the statute is 165-2 (6) you can find the information on the PGC website re: what is permitted on SGL's. Nuts, berries, mushrooms are permitted, as well as game and fish, taken per their perspective seasons. One more thing, that area has venomous snakes, rattlesnakes and copperheads, which you should be aware of.
