    Those Estellville glassworks ruins have a Romanesque look about them. You did well to get on top of those rail cars! The outro music was nice. 🌲🌲🌲

      There are fresh masonry works on the site, looks like caregivers attempt to save ruins how they are now. Nobody knows how Estellville buildings used to look. At least, i found only fragmentary mentions about the architecture.
      Thank you)) Alexander Nakarada is a great composer and i love his style.

    Dang ! I remember Hermann City from way back !
    Used to find all these ruins on weekend runs with my trusty Jeep CJ7. Spent many a day checking all these places out ! Found lots of artifacts from 1700-1800's in these places. BUT, no one ever knew I was there! Would leave places just like I found them out of respect!
    I could probably, even to this day, still find them !
    Your videos bring back special memories!
    Thank you !

      Hi John! Like you I've attempted twice to find this place, but was lucky only the last time.
      About artefacts, i read that three ships loaded with factory production were sunk in Mullica river nearby and their wrecks are still visible in low tide. Would be great to see.

    The opening shot reminds me of Rte 70 between Vincentown and Toms River. Besides growing up in SNJ I was also stationed for five months at Naval Air Station Lakehurst back in ‘73. Because of all the Marines returning from Nam the CO asked me to live off base in exchange for bat rats/housing freeing up room for other Marines. Drove Rte 70 every day for those five months learned it like the back of my hand. I also love the shot of the walls with the bog iron stone. Lot of history for me. Cool area.

    • @williamwintemberg
      @williamwintemberg Год назад +1

      @Walking Cam There may be many reasons for the lack of archeological exploration in the pines. Money may be one. Native American history and burial grounds may be another. Lack of professionals with the proper credentials and so on.

      hello! Tried rewatch this piece many times in 4K now. Nothing suspicious. However can see same thing like you do in 720p resolution . Sometimes, as a result of unstable Internet connection, YT decreases resolution of a video to prevent interruption and then compression artifacts may occur (blurred details, small subject disappearance, etc).

    I’m 70 now and I recall when growing up other kids talked about finding arrowheads. Not sure there are many left laying around. Also a bit of trivia, back in the day folks would bury their garbage along property edges/hedgerows where as time went on trees grew up. Those are excellent places where we’d find old glass bottles among other things.

    Each summer i get my kids and our adventures have a main theme. Last year it was exploring Pennsylvania and this summer is exploring the Pine Barrens. I've lived in South NJ my whole life and for the 1st time im learning about the Pine Barrens so i can plan this right. Any chance you can give me an idea where those Railroad cars at? Ive been employed at Amtrak 15 year's & usually trains remind me of work but those freight cars look bad ass from an art perspective. Any Pine Barrens insight would be greatly appreciated also. Great quality video & editing btw. I have gopro(s) 8 & 10 for this summers compilation video.

    Excellent video. When I first visited the Estellville Glassworks, there was no signage, sidewalks or fencing. I think that was about 35 years ago. I'm familiar with Hermann also. Nearby Hermann there is a stone house foundation. It's about a 5-10 minute walk east along the river. I know the history of it, if you'd like to know. Maybe you've seen it already.

      @MillerMeteor74 Год назад +1

      @@walkingcam1 Yes, about a 5 minute walk or so. It's right at the water's edge, but there's somewhat of a high bank there, and it's built into the bank. My friend Budd Wilson told me that it dates to the 1960s. A house was under construction by some private individuals (but on State Forest land!). The Park Service discovered it one day and had them stop construction. So now we just have a picturesque ruin. Also there used to be a 2-story cabin nearby, which I and some friends discovered. It was in near perfection condition, and I took tons of pictures.(I never shared them online though.) Later on the vandals tore it all apart and the state then demolished it.
