The Lackawanna County Coal Mine tour

[@pointingdog7235]

I went through the mine in 2000, I'd love to go back and see it agai. I have the utmost respect for miners it was hard work that's for sure.

[@cheriew8009]

Hard work. My great grandfather was a coal miner in WV. He worked all night. They called it the hoot owl shift. He was a sweet kind man. Wish we had some of his equipment left like his hat and lunch pail. Thanks Nate and Bonnie.

[@PagingMrMorrow]

Well my hat is off to your great-grandfather because those working conditions are harsh

[@Disneynerdforlife]

Wow awesome I live in Scranton PA I love how you are from around here love this channel!

[@marathongirllll]

Wow! Thanks Nate for the tour. Clean energy is the only way to go for the future.

[@JanetteMcGowan616]

Thank you for this video Nate! My Dad was born in Duryea Pa. Story has it that my grandfather went down in the coal mines for only one day, came up and said never again!!!! Ended up moving with his young family to Buffalo and the rest is history. Feel like I have a good idea why he didn’t like it! Thx again Nate, as always entertaining! 😘👍🏻

[@stevieburden4107]

Thanks for this tour. My Grandpa was one of the coal miners that worked the mines in eastern Pennsylvania as a child. I have a picture of him as a young teen standing in a shaft much like the one in this video. He eventually died of black lung that he got from his time in the mines. I feel like I have a better understanding of what he did now.

[@gaylebonacorsi3221]

Very sad to know how mines where run back in the day. The poor animals and hardworking men. Thank you for doing a great video on some important history. Have a great big beautiful tomorrow.

[@Richard-fv7rq]

Great vlog Nate, very interesting. Brave people them mine workers!

[@dawnmanning6097]

That was alot of fun to watch. Another great video. The canary was very important to miners. My great grandpa worked in the mines in Scranton. I have alot of respect and admiration for them. My family has his miners helmet with a carbide lantern on it.

[@elissanealdisneyfamily663]

Great stuff. Coal miners have guts. Looks like a fun tour. Thanks Nate

[@karencook8464]

Love all these seemingly random PA videos. I agree I would never want to be a miner. Very educational. Thanks for sharing!

[@allisonstamm2344]

I actually work 250+ feet underground in a renovated lime stone mine in Western Pennsylvania. So, I'm always watching your videos from deep, down underground all the time :)

[@lorrainekrauss5140]

It’s always interesting to see others view of the mines. Have been down a few times but great seeing yours. Thanks!

[@FunGetAways]

This is a great video! Please bring us more like this!

[@craigsrobotics]

man, that was incredible...thanks for sharing...love your videos!

[@sunname3806]

WOW😮. It's like you know from the books, but when you get to experience something like this.. it's like WOW!. MUCH RESPECT.. I know this couldn't have been easy. Especially for the children!. Sad but also in a way very understandable for certain times 🙁😏😟. Nate THANK you for sharing. Much love from Florida Belinda Long 😃

[@johnbardunias3483]

Hey, I'm a professor down in Florida. My mom's side were Polish coal miners. I'm using your video as a supplement to the actual virtual tour. My mom's name was Bonnie :) Also the stake was used to stop the wheels of the mule carts. Often kids were trampled trying to incert them.

[@PagingMrMorrow]

Well that’s really awesome I live in Florida now I’m glad you enjoyed the video

[@johnbardunias3483]

That side of my family were from Scranton. I was like you...I would end up on that tour everytime I would come to visit. Love the TWD comment. I have that scene on a sweatshirt.

[@hazelg.5157]

Looks Great 👍 Thanks for sharing with Us... 😃

[@beckyschrodt4029]

this was so interesting!! A little scary, I'm sure, being down so deep. Thanks so much for sharing!! Always enjoy your videos. :-)

[@laurawalton1466]

I like your solo blogs so much better. You do such a good job and are so upbeat.

[@leshaface21]

What a cool tour, thanks for showing this!

[@marianne4468]

Wow great tour vlog! I found the older I have gotten, the more things I won't do. 20 yrs ago sure I would have done that tour. Now NOPE! !( even though Im only a few hrs from it) So thank you for filming this

[@magicaladventuresunlimited9225]

Live the life you love.

[@jerrylupo5986]

Well done Nate!! Enjoyed seeing what it was like.

[@minutemark]

It's always good to see your new videos, Nate. Hi, Nate's sister!

[@jeancobb4623]

Great video Nate. The video was very interesting to watch. Going down into the mine was scary. I don't think I could do it. Just seeing what the miners had to go through was enough for me. Thanks so much for sharing

[@TampaJay]

That was awesome man

[@graceelinn9701]

Yay‼️another great video Nate!! Hello to Bonnie! Sisters are great!

[@mrsliz8237]

We did this tour about 10 years ago! So interesting.

[@PagingMrMorrow]

I did it 25 years ago and I was just a kid then So it really didn't interest me but now I'm like this is amazing

[@mrsliz8237]

Watching this makes me want to do it again!

[@colleenosburn-sapp3201]

Great vlog , gotta hand it to them, it was a hard dangerous job , but necessary to life back then. Hey Bonnie good to see you again 😄

[@tophermagellan6017]

That si cool. Wow, can you imagine doing that everyday,

[@beckyinnola3613]

Your tour was very interesting. Thank you for sharing, especially since I would not be brave enough to go down into the mine shaft!

[@pdpauldelaney]

We went on field trips too! I’m thinking about going back myself!

[@sunflowerfunfamily2023]

Thank you for taking us on the Tour! It was great!!

[@kayatwood5183]

You are a brave man. I went to Ruby Falls and that was so scary. I don't like being in the ground. At least it wasn't crowded.

[@GlutenFreeRennFairy]

Ooh one minute and I’m watching.

[@eleanorbells2754]

Hello Bonnie! Nice to see you again!

[@Witlen]

Hey buddy is there anyway you could go to Kennywood,so many fond memories!!!

[@PagingMrMorrow]

I would love to go to Kennywood I'm going to do some research and see if I can make it happen

[@traceysell4127]

Paging Mr. Morrow Come to Pittsburgh & visit! Kennywood is a great park. My son works there. You can get a Disney fix because they have Dole whip. Also there are lots of cool things to see & do.

[@allisonstamm2344]

@@traceysell4127 I've gone to Kennywood every summer... how am I NOW just finding out that they have dole whip?!?

[@traceysell4127]

Allison Stamm they had last year at the Pagoda pavilion if you’re familiar with that. It actually was the dole whip float. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it!!!

[@allisonstamm2344]

@@traceysell4127 Good to know because I feel like I walk past that all the time when I'm there! haha

[@djacgators1]

pretty cool! That would be something Id like to see.

[@JeffFrmJoisey]

Great video Nate!! Loved the tour!!!

[@theadventuresofguyanddawn9641]

That was awesome Nate! Love your vlogs!

[@edaltounian7118]

Nate, I have to say... I'm really enjoying your non-Disney videos. It's nice to see something different and it also gives me some encouragement that my new channel will be a success. I'm from Michigan and will be starting a new MI destination channel soon. My previous channel was taking up all my time making slides for the videos and researching technical info (5MIN2GG - 5 Minutes to Great Gadgets).

[@ItsJoeysworld]

What a great bang for your buck and a great History tour for some of the hardest workin folks out there! But, I keep hearing the song,"Canary in a Coal Mine" in my head.

[@Marr-in-Memphis]

First again!!! Now to go WATCH!!!!! Always excited to see a PMM vlog!!!

[@Marr-in-Memphis]

Nate is 200% correct. I would be so claustrophobic that I could NEVER work in those conditions. Kudos to the men who risked their lives.

[@eleanorbells2754]

Have you ever been to Howe Caverns in NY? It’s Another fun place to go down below the surface of the earth. Thanks for the vlog!

[@raincoffee9843]

You and Bonnie are very brave! That first figure standing there reminded of the movie My Bloody Valentine. Yikes, so scary by yourself!!!

[@ErikNiel]

Very neat! But those mannequins are super creepy 😱 cool vlog idea!

[@PagingMrMorrow]

They were creepy in fact a couple of them caught me off-guard and it really creeped me out

[@MagicWishingStarr]

I've been on tours of the caverns in Missouri. This was so much creepier. Agree with you that the life of a miner was so much harder than we had imagined.

[@captainakron27]

I was waiting for you to exit through the gift shop! Great Job so cool! #PMM

[@novemberjohn]

Happy for the interset. Facts - need some review.

[@DreHuston]

"Stay here with the Minions" hahahaha! Hey Bonnie :) Wow, I agree Nate...thinking about those beams and poles, wondering "how" they're holding anything up safely. Oh geez, warning poles?! I'd be outta there like NOW!! That man is the Thin Man, yikes!! LOL, Nate...only you can make me laugh laying on the bench!! Yup, I remember hearing that if the canary dies everyone dies, now that's really CREEPY!! Nate, follow the bread crumbs... Now, losing the group would cause me to pass out :/ Nate, these "people" are only making this whole thing scarier! Because of this tour you took us on, I am in awe and have such respect for Coal Miners

[@bostonkimgoulet1515]

That was cool 😍

[@roxannesimpson5736]

Thanks for taking us along! I dont think I could go down there. Too creepy!

[@erinmackenzie5165]

Great vlog! :).

[@LostGirlinTomorrowland]

Great video! I visited a mine in PA several years ago and I have to say it was Uber creepy! Then we went to centralia, and if you don’t know what that is I highly suggest a visit. The history of the coal mines in PA is so fascinating.

[@MoviemaniaNick]

That was really cool Nate!

[@lanegoodspeed5103]

Thanks Nate. Very cool. Why the hair nets?

[@PagingMrMorrow]

I think the hair nets were just for Style Hahahah

[@brendag6998]

[@smallthings6590]

the stick was to stop the carts and that airshaft is actually the escape lift.

[@aliciaericsadventures3566]

That was really cool!!!! & HI!! Bonni!! SO when are you headed back to Florida?

[@heidil4008]

Very interesting to see the conditions they had to work in. Apparently, the mine was closed in 1966 and lay abandoned until 1978 when the mine was converted to a museum (Wikipedia).

[@michellegarrick9747]

Ooohhhh No way I watched my bloody valentine to many times to go down there.

[@hobrien5717]

I feel claustrophobic just watching this video!

[@brianhrvey]

I never felt so uneasy Since my last mri I’m claustrophobic Just the ride alone killed me You are braver than I could ever dream to be Fascinating Video though But I am glad it’s over

[@lyndsaynewton-devine5080]

Love this video pretty nifty

[@genayares244]

Wow that was pretty cool ...I wAnt to look up what it’s like in a coal mine nowadays . I come from a long line of nurses ( like Veronica ) and I can remember my grandmother saying all miners die of lung disease rather young from the coal dust . Kinda sad ! I bet they wear special masks now . I’m pretty sure W VA is the only place left with a coal mining industry or does Penn have active mines too ?

[@dereksdestinations]

Nate, you should try visiting Jim Thorpe. It’s a nice little town with a building that was the inspiration of WDW’s Haunted Mansion.

[@PagingMrMorrow]

You must of been reading my mind because that is where I’m on my way right now

[@dereksdestinations]

Paging Mr. Morrow Awesome! Looking forward to it!
