    I grew up exploring this place with my grandfather and spent a great deal of my life visiting it before it got popular (1970's) and now I wanted my kids to see and experience what I did as a kid. Please if you go, respect the marked trails, practice leave no trace behind and help preserve it for future generations to enjoy it.....our beautiful Dolly Sods.

      Hey Tony appreciate the comment. Being surrounded by so much National Forest can limit areas for detecting but they are history and resource rich and worthy of investigation. Walking the trails of this landscape that seems so natural it is hard to imagine the breadth of destruction it has seen and nature’s efforts to revive itself. I hope we can always strive to protect these natural treasures for future generations

      Thanks about the music. It’s funny I get people who love the music I choose or hate it. I often use the Appalachian Dulcimer and fiddle from artists I personally know and promote their songs and our European brothers sometimes don’t like it. Others defend it.

We lived along the Restigouche River in a valley between “The Gaspe” Quebec and N.B. A place called Campbellton. Probably one of the most picturesque places in Eastern Canada. If you and your family ever want to see the northern Appalachian this would be the place to go. I live in Eastern Ontario but go to N.B. almost every year....Cheers.

    What a beautiful place to take your family. I enjoyed the history of it very much, even if some of it was bleak. I am so glad that thoughtful minds managed to preserve it before it was completely destroyed forever. Our mountainous area's here in the West have wild huckleberries, blue and red varieties. However our forests are still intact so the berry fields are not as huge and open as yours. Our area's are also full of bears so caution must always be taken when out picking. Thank you for taking us along to such an astonishingly lovely place. The views were fantastic, the terrain was amazing, and the cranberry bogs reminded me of ones I hiked through in my childhood. As we have them also in hidden away places, on the swampy edges of some of our high mountain wilderness lakes.
    Your family looked like it was having a great adventure and loads of fun. To be able to share such a place with your kids that you enjoyed with your grandpa is wonderful. What a blessing to be able to get out and enjoy God's creation. May you and your family have a God blessed day!

      Hey Lesa, I just saw this message and you left it 5 days ago....well, I've been out detecting as much as I can while Spring is marching in and my dig season is shortening....I can't really dig much in the summer months here.
      Dolly Sods is hugely popular here and attracts hoards of people from all over the region. It is a shame that it saw such destruction. It actually had another wave of destruction that I did not bring out in my video. During WWII, the Army used it for munitions practice and shelled the heck out of it. The Government has been trying over the decades to remove unspent shells and periodically people will come across one of them. What is such a shame about it is this area is one of the most biodiverse regions in the eastern US with species only found here. It is a testament of the destructive nature of man and how nature always tries to heal itself.
      I've also noticed a drop in views lately so I'm giving you a heads up....I am spreading my videos out over a wider range rather than every 7 days. I have plenty of videos complete but if the videos do not appeal to a wider audience, I may phase out the channel altogether and just do these without videotaping.....

      Not at all. Huckleberries are sweeter but they cannot be tamed and why you cannot buy them....they make great pies and jellies/jams or just plain on cereal....With it being only in the 70's in summer with a breeze, there isn't bugs and it's easy picking..

    i love the area of seneca rocks spruce knob and dolly sods
    last time i was there 2 summers ago i had a grouse cross in front of me i did get a couple pictures of it
    on spruce knob you can still see where the railroad bed was back when they was logging it

      It’s a real blessing to see it recovering and know people are now wanting to keep it from further damage. I have a video of Spruce Knob too but with no plans on releasing that one.

      Glad you enjoyed it. I've always wondered it's history as I've been told it by my grandfather but the more I learned the more I appreciated the place. It's nowhere else on RUclips that I'm aware of so I wanted to preserve it this way....

    Hello from Ohio in Ohio here on my grandparents farm in southeast Ohio I used to pick both wild blueberries and huckleberries by the gallons and we would make all kinds of food out of them like jellys and jams from them

    One other piece of history of the sods . During WW2 the US military used this area as artillery practice. Beware of any unexploded munitions. I personally have never seen any but have been warned.
    A note to visitors , even on the driest of days your feet will get soaked . I have been on trails there that I questioned if they were a trail or a stream . Worth every bit of it , a beautiful place to visit .

      Good points James. I actually had the munitions in my original cut but took it out to keep it no longer than 20 minutes. I think they keep the sign up there to keep people on the paths.....Haha
