This was a great adventure! The locks were great. The culvert was intriguing. So were the cows. I am glad they didn't get too upset. Thank you for taking us along, Cliff.
very interesting kind of walk. by water wading, but good way to see the journey and path of the Lock. Good. the cows were nice, had some personality...
How fantastic that they were in good repair. How beautiful they are. I think that cow might have been battering her lashes at you, haha. Thanks so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
I also remember this one garage at a farmhouse where my dad got me a job cutting the grass had a few panels covering this quick moving water channel. Turns out that it was an underground river that went underneath their garage. The water was ice cold and so cooling on a hot summer day. Though with how quickly the current was moving you would be swept away if you tried lowering yourself into it too far. Unfortunately that old farmhouse and garage are gone now.
Lol - angry cows. That's never good! We had a cow chase us in Mount Rogers two years ago when we were doing a section of the Appalachian Trail in Grayson Highlands - and it was a bit scary! Nice perspective of walking down the water like that! The tunnel was cool - but a bit creepy! Fantastic view! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY
Hi Cliff, I would love to see how far that culvert goes, I'm guessing the voices you heard were coming from a drain cover where the kids are playing in the street next to the drain. Those Weeping Willow tree's on the right of you at 17:00 were beautiful, they are one of my favourites. Fun fact, those metal pieces you were talking about that locked the 2 stones together were being used by the Ancient Egyptians and the Mayan's. Haha the cows were probably angry because you were walking in their water supply lol. Both locks were in a really good state which is awesome to see. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
Over the years I 've been on Rt 501 but never realize or knew about the canal. The pipe is a storm sewer most likely. I just watch "200 years on the Erie canal and "The Ohio and Erie Canal"" It connected Lake Erie to the Ohio River. I also watch " Chestnut Trees returning to The Forests" How they are crossing Chinese Chestnut tress with the American Chestnut trees. It was very interesting. The canal videos showed the locks and how they work.
We had a tunnel of some sort underneath our basement floor in the one spot. I don't know if it was a mine tunnel or an old sewer line but it was definitely interesting to see.
Great canoe and kayak areas. Great video as usual with a great mix of history nature and in this case livestock lol. All your video are down to earth and I can't wait for the sasquatch Chronicles lol
Wow, sloshing through all that water wore me out just watching you. cows were cool. In a way you really took the bull by the horns on this trip. The locks were in great condition with even some metal work still intact. The drain pipe is probably a storm/rain drain into the canal from a paved road/development/park area. If the children were near a culvert/intake playing I'm not surprised you heard them. The tunnel/drain amplifies much like a bull horn you would hold to your mouth when speaking at a gathering. I doubt it runs under homes, If you could hear children in the home playing normally think how loud that rushing water would be under the home during a heavy downpour/storm.
You always provide us with such interesting content. But a staring contest. With a cow. While standing in water. In a canal. Above and beyond. Thanks for the explore. 💛
My favorite series sso far has been this. Always getting super excited when one of these come out! Great Vids along with the camping and covered bridges :)
I never knew that culvert was there! I go through here quite often. Fascinating. I’ve never seen the lock near Race Street…wow!!!!! It looks great!! The lock on Fairlane (lock 7) I visited a few months ago, as that is on public property. Lots of poison ivy there in case you want to go down to the water…..😲😬 I am really enjoying this series in my own ‘back yard’!
The tunnel might have a drain grate somewhere farther up, near a playground, and the sound was coming down thru. I'd love to watch you explore it, though.
Cliff, If your able, sure ,give it an explore:) This area of the creek/canal is so peaceful, I love those old trees plats and the widlife along the banks. Wading or canoeing really does give a different perspective, I remember canoeing through towns and feeling as if I were in the country. Thanks, Rik
I can tell you were absolutely stoked (pleased) with yourself when you managed to walk through lock 8E, with those huge blocks of stone high above you on either side. Such a scenic creek walk and when you came up to that pipe opening, it actually surprised me. Could it be a storm water pipe? I say that because it looked quite deep below the outlet into the creek.
Definitely explore that culvert! That would be cool. I imagine the children's voices are from ground level, near a grate in someone's yard perhaps? Or maybe some adventurous youngsters exploring the culvert? 🤷🏼♀️ We did that kind of thing as kids, I wore out the knees of a new pair of jeans exploring a culvert when I was 10 or so. Needless to say my parents were not too happy with me. 🙄 Love seeing two locks in such amazing condition! Walking through Lock 8 was neat.
Guessing a loaded boat draft would be about 3 feet or so depending on boat size and cargo; average water depth 6-8 feet depending on the season, lock depth. and weather. If I rightly recall the Delaware Canal Easton to Bristol PA paralleling the Delaware River in most areas, was engineered so that there was about 150 of elevation change over its length of 60 miles .

When I was a boy growing up in Delaware County, I explored tunnels. I heard voices. I traced them to people standing near the storm drain.
Amazing there was that much left of the canal. Thanks.
I like the watertower in Myerstown. It's cool to actually see it in town.
loved it !😁
Yes please come back!!!😁❤
Awesome trip thru the canals very peaceful thank you
awesome find, i love the culverts and the exploring of the creek 👌💚
I’d love to see an exploration of that culvert, that kind of tunnel with the tiled invert seems pretty rare here in the states!
They have these type of tunnels under baltimore. The floor is either brick or tile, and the tunnels can be in many shapes and sizes.
I am intrigued by that tunnel as well. 🤔 The cows were great. 😂
How fantastic that they were in good repair. How beautiful they are. I think that cow might have been battering her lashes at you, haha. Thanks so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
They look like Charlay Cattle like we have in Colorado 😉

Great job!Super cool seeing the locks fairly intact🌟Thanks Cliff.57,000 subs👏Well done!!!
You gotta go back and explore that tunnel.
This was, like you said,- AWESOME! Thanks for wading.
Amazing to see the cows and their in the water, awesome! As always love the water in your videos, here it brings to life history!

How awesome to be able to wade thru that lock! Those were both in amazing condition!! Love the sound of wading thru the stream😊
That was wonderful, thanks for doing this-Michael McWilliams PA. Canal Society.
I enjoyed the scenery, and unintentional ASMR. The sound of you hiking uphill through water made my legs hurt in sympathy. Hahaha.
Of all times. You always carry a flashlight! You must return!!!!!!

Thanks for the chestnut tree tip. This is why all educated people watch utube constantly.
@@markandrews2942 Here is another CBS video I just watched about the reintroduction of Wood Bison into the wild in Alaska.
We had a tunnel of some sort underneath our basement floor in the one spot.
I don't know if it was a mine tunnel or an old sewer line but it was definitely interesting to see.

Very cool to see those two well preserved locks!
Such a nice and peaceful looking place, relaxing.
Yes most definitely it has history bring both flash lights big ones

yes you need come back . I'd like to see things ...
I'd love to see the tunnel.
Awesome videos! They got me interested in more local history. Thanks!
Nice one, Cliff! Yes, I would do a thorough proper explore on that mystery culvert pipe. Looks very interesting and it's not posted
Yes go back to that tunnel now I’m very curious 😊

Explore the culvert!
I hope you do a similar series for the Juniata Division of the Pa Canal.
that tube looks like a storm drain. street sewers probably empty into it. there are lots of them in Philly parks. they drain into the streams.
Always a good hike thru the Pennsylvania countryside. thanks for another great video!! wonder why you dont have a walking stick ?
You would not part an old man from his walking stick?
Cliff please go back to the covert! Thank you for sharing!
Definitely explore that culvert! That would be cool. I imagine the children's voices are from ground level, near a grate in someone's yard perhaps?

Love seeing two locks in such amazing condition! Walking through Lock 8 was neat.
I was most impressed by Lock 8.
Come back with a flash light
What was the canal boat draft? I am trying to learn how deep the canal keepers kept the canal.
Guessing a loaded boat draft would be about 3 feet or so depending on boat size and cargo; average water depth 6-8 feet depending on the season, lock depth. and weather. If I rightly recall the Delaware Canal Easton to Bristol PA paralleling the Delaware River in most areas, was engineered so that there was about 150 of elevation change over its length of 60 miles .
Does anyone see the large, somewhat menacing face under the creek @2:02?
I think Brants mill used to butt up to the canal and use its water. So I was told.
we all float down here
What an incredible video !!!!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 wow , wow , that’s all I can say , thx 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
You should have a canoe
The only thing besides the voices you will find in the culvert is Pennywise, and if you meet up with It, you can float too.
The return of mad cow syndrome !
I think you caught an EVP in that tunnel sounds like a little girl.
Alligators? I'm from Florida....they are everywhere....SCARY
Where you can't get permission perhaps you could do a fly over with your drone.
Go back and check it out 😉
why do I think that we don't have to ask you to go back to that culvert....pretty sure you're gonna go back anyways lol
👍👍👍
I dunno about exploring the culvert, but I wonder what kind of reaction you would have gotten if you had yelled something into the culvert.
Mmmmmmooooooo!
am tired will get bk tmw
Would you go in the tunnel again to see where it goes with a flashlight?
The spotted lantern fly is an invasive pest! It needs to be destroyed!
Like a scene from The African Queen- minus the boat..
Explore the pipe but don't wear a clown suit. Don't want to traumatize any kids.
Get there permission first ok then explore ok
Why are you walking in water
