I knew exactly where you were from the thumbnail. That was always my father's favorite bridge to drive past - he'd comment every time. I wish he were still alive so I could have him watch this video, he would have enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing, and you earned a new sub.
That’s touching, so cool to hear your personal connection with the bridge & your dad! It really is something to behold and looks so cool from the freeway. Hope your dad can watch it from heaven ☁️💙
What city and state is that in
@@24fletchdog It's just shy of the delaware water gap crossing on the NJ side, rte 80.
I'm from jersey I ride on 80 everyday
@@24fletchdog it’s in pa,on the delaware river, search delaware abandoned viaduct pa it should pop up.
Respect for just instinctively offering that guy water! Good character.
We're all in this together, might as well help each other out! 💙
the true test of character for the guy is if he water-falled it or drank it with full contact.
@@nicholas-dv1mglol, and a test of YOUR character, depending on how you interpreted waterfall vs full contact!
@@CreeewDeeeTaaay germaphobe here, so i would have most likely just given him a bottle of water if i had a spare plastic one.
@@nicholas-dv1mg Heck yeah! That's even mo' nice. Can't wait to run into you while hiking, and having totally forgotten my wawa bottle 😜
"I think we kinda need to be a little bit stealthy here." Tells some random dude he's camping there.
😂😂 He was chill, we talked a lot off camera lol
also uses the brightest light he could find on the tent at night. 🤣
personally if its not urs stay off it.
trespassing is trespassing. sick and tired of entitled people going, doing whatever they want its not urs piss off.
that said i assume he cleaned up after himself? didnt trash the place like so many previous people.
@@user-xf1ur3hu4z lmao.
@@user-xf1ur3hu4z I don't have much to say to your trespassing rant. Although true, its not exactly a major crime. In some parts of the world the right to roam is even protected by law, although the US isn't one of them. There's plenty wrong in this world (and Country) of ours, Wes stealthily camping on an abandoned bridge isn't one of them.
To your comment about cleaning up, however, I have to assume you've watched very few of Wes's videos. He's specifically shown himself leaving "camping" areas better than he found them. I obviously don't know the man in real life, but leaving a mess behind would be completely out of character based on what he's shown us on his channel. I'd bet money he cleaned up after himself, probably after someone else while he was there too.
As an airplane geek, the surprise appearance of the B-29 "Doc" was quite a fun addition to another great video! My FIL is one of the volunteers that get to work on her in Wichita, she's a common sight overhead here. She's been making the rounds in one of her History Restored tours. On another note, I just found your channel today and have been loving the videos. Keep up the great work!
So cool!! Must be such a privilege to work on Doc... glad you are enjoying the adventures!
I lived right down the road from the bridge 30 or so years ago and used to go there a lot. My son was 6 or 7 and he thought it was the greatest place in the world to explore. So many great memories!
That's sweet, what a cool connection... glad this video found its way to a local. Hope you were able to relive some of the memories a little bit 😊
Where is this?
Gratuitous B-29?! WHAT? dope af bruh
Camp inside a gigantic redwood tree in Arcata California at Redwood Park. Trails lead way back and there's plenty of hollow trees to sleep in!
I know right!!
That is a sweet idea, I will definitely plan to do that when I am back on the west coast! Thanks for the suggestion
@@WesWhereverso much for the stealth part you have to film at night but if anyone else is going buy they will see the light 😅you probably made people think that it is haunted now😅😅
6:20 The idea of stealth camping in a spot like this sounds so cool except for EXACTLY this. The idea of bumping into someone else in a place like that is terrifying.
That has to be a rare coincidence a stealth camping video with an extremely rare warbird of WW2 in it.
Right!! Was so cool to witness ✈️
@@WesWherever Was that a B-29?!
@petemommo9622 Yep, I was like, no way, that's a B-29. Even though the wing geometry looked right, the fuselage loked right, and everything looked right I still found pictures to compare n it to.
Wasn''t paying attention when the B-29 first appeared, but then thought "wait - are there any 4 engined piston prop planes still operating?". Went back to look again and thought "holy F - that's a B-29!!!".
If it was a B-29, it was 1 of 2 that are still airworthy. "Fifi" or "Doc."
G'day to you ! in the '70s I was Homeless and I livid for awhile inside the super structure of a Bridge which was part of the Road System into a City, it was amazingly Warm and Comfortable!
Wow, that sounds really cozy... must have been a blessing in an otherwise uncertain time!
Man I am glad your doing better and can watch RUclips now,😂
@lonewolfwildernesssurvival9443 what was the funny part?
im loving how dynamic the locations are wes, Im confident your content will reach far
Thanks J, glad you’re still enjoying the adventures!! 🏕️
Stealth camping and abandoned places... two of my favorites in one.
Wear your pack on the front, in reverse, going down ladders, i used to climb towers and change bulbs. Way easier when weight is balanced and you can maneuver the packin front of you instead of dragging it behind you, possible snag, you would be fucked unless it was in front
Very good tip, thank you!! I actually watch videos of people who do what you did… what an exhilarating job!
That sounds like an awesome job
If stealth camping you should have a red light so you can see but not likely be seen. White light brings bugs and people.
Thanks Jeremy, ended up deciding stealth wouldn’t be too important here after finding the fireworks that people shot off on the bridge. I do have a red light on my headlamp though which I will definitely use for stealth mission 👍👍 Thanks for watching!!
Probably one of the coolest spots ive ever seen someone camp in
Thanks bro, it was definitely one of my favorite trips!!
Just discovered this channel. As long as you don’t end up killing your self doing these types of videos I know you are going to go far in subscribers. This is insane content and now I’m gonna binge it all!
Thanks for the encouragement, and I will definitely make sure to be safe! Hope you enjoy the adventures 🏕️🏕️
Well I own this land and bridge. And if a person kills themselves from seeing this illegal video. This kid will be sued for everything he owns. The man holes will be covered and sealed.
@@musclerussell8109 you don’t own it. You are just another RUclipsr trying to get a view of his channel. I see you have a few videos up about exploring so don’t try to snake his subs
Judging from the massive amount of graffiti, it's surprising you didn't have any unwanted guests during the night. LOL
He likely got there early in the morning and shot the scenes in reverse order then right after sunset shot the one "night" scene then packed up and left. RUclips is very edited
In the future, you might consider using paracord to assist with the backpack. To lower it and to throw over a branch or other supporting structure to raise the backpack.
Thanks Victor, that’s a really good idea! I will make sure to pick some up for future adventures 🏕️
@@WesWherever Great, one other thing, you will need a weighted object on the end. Like a fishing weight.
That bridge is known to locals as "Alice". It was given that name because of the manholes and tunnels. The manholes were compared to the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland
So cool! I have a family member named Alice who will appreciate that haha
Where is it. Looks like an apartment block for homeless people.
What a unique and amazing spot for an overnighter.
😊 Thanks for watching!!
Lots of folks have an interest in this kind of place. These places are not invisible.😊
This vid brought back some memories. As a teen, I used to stealth camp in the railroad trestle outside Portland, in Lake Oswego. Had a nice iron ring for a fire pit all built in. Good times!
We used to ride that bridge with quads and dirtbikes as kids in the early 2000’s. That trail went for many miles, then the state put fencing which always was torn down, and ultimately put concrete barriers at the end. I moved from that area a long time ago, but knew where you were before even clicking on the video, alot of good childhood memories made in that area.
Dang! Was that a B-29 bomber?
One of the only 2 flight worthy B-29s left in existence!! It’s named “Doc” and is currently conducting flights out of Allentown, PA ✈️
Nice catch ✈️
Quick-draw
@@WesWherever Yes , it was here for only three days stationed temporarily at (AEB) Lehigh Valley International . It was flying right over my home . So beautiful and at the very same time how horrible . They were the aircraft platform designed mainly for dropping the Nukes .
Great video mate,what an utter bonus to film a B-29 super fortress flying over!!!
@@timc333
nukes arent real
wake up already
Algorithm has brought me here, subscribed. Also great seeing Cincinnati chili being appreciated, as a native it's rare to see it outside of the area!
Thanks for your support!! I have had Skyline a few times and recently found out about Gold Star and am curious how it compares 🤔
Wow...what a cool bridge to explore ..
Now I could spend some time in a spot like that!
Multiple camping trips!
Thanks for watching, Hank. Yes it was such a cool experience! Really want to return with my fishing rod next time 🎣
If you like this 1908 DL&W viaduct, go see the immense 1915 Tunkhannock Creek Viaduct (also known as the Nicholson Bridge and the Tunkhannock Viaduct) 70 miles away.
It is a concrete deck arch bridge on the Nicholson Cutoff rail line segment of the DL&W and spans Tunkhannock Creek in Nicholson, Pennsylvania.
Measuring 2,375 feet (724 m) long and towering 240 feet (73.15 m) when measured from the creek bed (300 feet (91.44 m) from bedrock), it was the largest concrete structure in the world when completed in 1915 and still merited "the title of largest concrete bridge in America, if not the world" 50 years later.
So cool! I was just visiting my grandparents who live maybe 10 minutes away from that bridge (but I had no idea it was there until you mentioned it). Thanks for the tip!
I'm only about 25 minutes from that bridge in a couple of areas. Every time I drive under that viaduct, it amazes me the skill of the workers and designers. I shot some drone footage of it but need to grab more. Safe travels to you!
The viaduct and the other one down the road are owned by NJ Transit. Conrail ripped up the tracks in the 80s. NJ transit has begun to re lay tracks on the railbed with the plan to ultimately rehab the viaducts and continue the line to Scranton, Pa, which was the historical route.
Would be so cool to ride someday when it's complete!
Really enjoyed this, amazing spot! I’ve been eyeing a similar spot for my channel but it’s nothing as sweet as this location. 👏👏👏
Yeah this spot was really fun, glad you enjoyed!! You got some cool looking content keep up the good work 💪🏕️
The 360 cam is dope, love the 3rd person angle when climbing. Great video!
Thanks bro!
Great video. I must admit, there is no way I could have done that journey. I’m scared of heights and water. But I would still like to see more of you journeys. So I’ve subscribed! Enjoy life💕
Thank you so much, hope you find the adventures entertaining & inspiring!! You enjoy life as well 💕
I canoed and kayaked many times under that bridge, caught a lot of fish too. I got a camper about 3 miles downstream from there on the Jersey side. The river runs right along the campground.
Sounds amazing, I definitely wanna come back and fish! Going to be kayak fishing in the next episode… really looking forward to it 🎣🛶
@@WesWherever, Those rapids under that bridge are a bit hairy, make sure to have your vest on.. And if you go down to Belvidere their are another set of rapids called foul rift. Look them up, heaviest set of rapids on the whole Delaware..
Like the other person previously said as soon as i saw the bridge i knew where this was. Great video you've gained another subscriber. Nice to see something local.
That's so cool, glad the video found its way to you!! Got a few more adventures in PA & NJ on the way 😉
Maybe you should take the backpack off while climbing down the manhole! LOL! Loving the videos!
Great video! We have a very similar , tho much smaller style RR bridge near my location. It's just 4 spans, and the access is made where one of the arches meets the hillside.
Having to climb down those ladders to get inside.....wow!
Couldn't help but wonder how many hobos must've sheltered in there over the decades it was in use.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed!! I imagine there would be people actively living there if this was closer to more of a population, this area is pretty rural 🌲
Yikes, that’s not for me. I hate heights😧 Nice one Wes👍
Now this is some stealth camping. Just recently discovered your channel and looking forward to more of your videos.
Great idea to travel!! I don’t know if there is still a way in, but Centralia (PA) is very fascinating. Sad about the mine fires but very cool and eerie!
Thanks Mel, very interesting idea to check out Centralia! I want to do a couple more adventures in PA while I’m still here, so I may have to go check it out there 🤔
Blessed to have found this page. Stay safe out there!
So glad I found your channel! Love this content!!
Thanks Matt, glad my channel found you!! 😉
Love the stealth camping from camping with steve. Look like you got some cool spots excited to watch the previous videos!
Love Steve and his content too, he is a huge inspiration for me! Thanks for watching, and hope you enjoy the other adventures 🏕️
I'm into spirituality, and getting closer to nature. Thank you for video.
I'm from Scotland and new to the camping and exploring scene but watched a few of your vids and have now subscribed, keep up the good content
Thanks, Kyle!! Trying my best to make my videos accessible to everyone, outdoorsy or not 😉 Cheers from across the pond! 🏴🍻🇺🇸
I have been all over that bridge when I was younger. We used to repel from it. Now I just drive by or boat under it. Cool place. Cheers
Neat, so cool that you found this video as a local. Thanks for watching!
Great spot, this place is an institution for anyone growing up on either side of the river.
You can also add Beans and/or Onions to the "Skyline Chili" that you had for dinner and serve it over cooked spaghetti for the full Cincinnati-Style Chili experience.
Decided to have it 1-way 😂😂 In hindsight, I probably should have tried to have it 3-way at least, but it was still good! Thanks for watching
I’ve often wanted to stop and check that bridge out. Thanks
Thanks for watching, Jay! Definitely check it out if you get the chance... I would recommend entering from the PA side
Such an interesting place to camp 🏕 out for the night 🌙.
Thanks for sharing 👍 greetings from England 🏴 Simon and Beth 👋 ❤
Thanks for watching!! Cheers from across the pond 🇺🇸🍻🏴
There is a really cool abandon resort in the Poconos not too far from there. Completely untouched and not vandalized.
Sounds really cool, I will have to look into it! Appreciate the tip, Josh
Greetings from Hungary! 😊
Cheers from across the pond! 🇺🇸🍻🇭🇺 Thanks for watching!
Just crossed the highway today while this bridge was overhead. I was going back to my uncle's house from an apple orchard line dance. What an interesting life we live!
Maybe you'll look at this bridge a little differently now after seeing its potential! 😂
This ticks 3 boxes on my avoid list: claustrophobia , fear of heights , camping alone in weird places.
Great job mate. only person doing it properly on YT 🤗
Much appreciated Liam, glad you have been enjoying the content! 😊
Prove it
Top tier content. I never watch longer stuff besides mr beast. Post more ❤ done shots are nice. If your ever in dallas ill show you some tunnels that go miles under the city
Thanks so much, that means a lot!! Just filmed another fun one that I hope to have out Wed/Thu. I will definitely hit you up if I’m in Dallas, tunnels sound cool!
Right after watching this video I drove under the same bridge on I-80
great video as always. Id be willing to watch longer videos as well, if you have been wondering if people would or not
Thanks again for watching! Trying to make them as long as I can without sacrificing quality 👍👍 glad you enjoyed
You should camp the Buffalo river in northern Arkansas beautiful area with great camping anywhere on the river.
Sounds perfect... I will certainly check it out when I am in AR! Looks very scenic from the photos I was able to find 😍
I’ve watched like 10 of these videos all such quality amazing content thank you
That means a lot... appreciate you watching, Cam!!
Stumbled on your channel and after I watched this video I subscribed to follow you along on your journey. Have fun stay safe.
Really appreciate your support, hope you enjoy the adventures!! 🏕️
Used to pass both this viaduct and the nearby one all the time .... and I believe both are owned by NJ Transit IIRC
Good luck in your new adventures and you will be missed in Oak Town /Tracy Tracy
Thanks Lenn, I have to say I miss the bay already 😭
That was adventurous. You are surely a deep explorer 😃
Thanks bro, glad you enjoyed!!
The Paulinskill viaduct was also constructed that year and is much taller. I think you might be mixed up with it. That said I've been to both, they look similar and are both amazing to explore!
Aaaaand I’m a new subscriber wtf only 1.8k is crazy your quality and videography skill is amazing bro 😮💨🔥 glad to say I’m an early supporter
That means a lot... thanks Jayce, and welcome aboard!!
Exact mileage wise I’m not sure how far it is but down River from where you are there a series of islands that have old huts on them that we found while tubbing that river
Fascinating, they would be so cool to check out!!
Wow. Do it while you're young. I can't remember eating food like that then remembering I'm not 30 seconds from my toilet when my digestive system kicks in.
Hahaha thankfully I didn't end up needing to go 😅
Just wanted to say that I love your beard bro, looks great!
Appreciate it bro!!
I used to go to that place all the time as a kid. We used to call it the rabbit hole lol. It’s been years since I’ve last visited
So cool, glad you could watch this video having a connection with the bridge. Does it look any different than you remember?
Great Video Wes, I really enjoyed it. Cool spot too.
Thanks again Drew, glad you’re enjoying the adventures!!
That’s awesome please be safe and at least let somebody know where ur headed and the time you’ll be back cheers brother you got a new subscriber!
I appreciate you watching, glad you enjoyed! Very true, I do try to make sure I let friends/family know where I’ll be at and check in regularly. Thanks for looking out bro 😊
Wow Wesley!! Look how many views this got! You’re doing great!! Really proud of you! 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks, Daz!! 😊 Yeah people really seemed to enjoy this one, glad it was so well received and is helping grow the channel. Haven't forgot about the falls too, hope we get to go at some point when I'm back in CA!
That thumbnail is definitely an eye catcher.
you find great spots
Thank you Share, glad you're appreciating the different camp spots! 🏕️
Hell yea, brother! I'm here for this!
Thanks bro, hope you enjoy all the adventures!! 🏕️
Used to live there. Excellent small mouth bass in the river and the AT is within a few miles. Beautiful part of the world.
This is so awesome!! Great video brother! How was the spook factor on the bridge at night?
Thanks again Bug, glad you enjoyed! It was pretty eery when I turned all the lights off, and there was only one way in or out 😳
Great content mate! Keep up the good work. Best wishes from Australia
Thanks, Corey!! 👋💙🇦🇺
You gotta go back and fish from there that was so cool!
I know, that would be so fun!!
"I'm worried about being stealthy"
Proceeds to light the entire place up with a flashlight to film his video.
For the content 😂😂
First time here, right on.
I used to stealth-camp all the time back when I was Homeless. Yeah- would be a hecka good place for an overnight post, but no snark- I'd take a lot of water, because it looks like its windy af. 🎉
Thanks for watching bro!!
You deserve many more than 2000 subscribers. Great content. 👍
'Appreciate that, Adam. Thanks for watching! 😊
I am here 4 weeks later and he has 9000. Congratulations!
Look up Crowder Mountain in North Carolina. I believe there's a campground you have to hike to. Also, if you climb the mountain go past the sign stating people have died past this point. The view is amazing!!
Wow, just looked it up and it looks gorgeous! I'm not sure if I'll make it that far down south on this trip, but I will definitely plan to check that out at some point! Pretty gnarly sign too, that would probably make for some interesting content 😳
I changed my mind.USA - is really beautiful country.I like very much: forests over there.I am glad sir,that: i have found your channel.I am a polish,but: i speak english and i live in The UK.
Glad you appreciate it! 🌲 Thank you for watching. I am also part Polish. Will be having pierogi in the next episode 😋
Epic spot. And the drone shots are awesome also 👍
Thanks Jon, that means a lot!!
Looks like you're in Pennsylvania if you are go check out the abandoned turnpike
Thanks Joseph, that looks super cool! If it fits into the travel schedule, I will definitely check it out!
So many cool places here in Washington state, my favorite place to go is copper city
True PNW is one of my favorite parts of the country, and I plan to head through there on my way back home! Copper City looks cool, although not sure if it’s too much for my van to handle. I got a mostly stock GMC Savana camper with off road tires (not 4x4 though). Do you think it could handle it? If not maybe I could hike in 🥾🌲
Hey man, just found your channel! Love your content bro, great work. Keep these videos coming. Watching from New Zealand
Thanks so much… New Zealand, that’s rad!! I gotchu, editing next adventure rn which I hope you have out by Wed/Thu 😉
So cool!!! The ladders made me nervous AF lol I dig all the camera shots man 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Utah and Montana are by far my favorite places to camp and hike! Glacier national park to be more specific. Belton bridge is my favorite swimming and hang out spots in west glacier by far
Explored Glacier when I was into hiking, but not yet an avid camper. I imagine there are so many opportunities for camping there! Belton Bridge looks very scenic, can already see the rock formations popping out of the water from satellite view 😍 I will have to check it out as I will probably be driving through Montana on my way back west. Thanks for the tips!
You should go there while it rains ,rain is the best
True, that would be a really fun time to stay cozy in the bridge 🌧️
I know of a lot of abandoned mines and some ghost towns out west, especially in Oregon and Nevada if you're interested
Sounds sweet, definitely interested!! I do plan to head through Oregon on this trip 🌲
This sounds like a pretty cool idea. Sleeping underneath a bridge.
It was certainly an unforgettable experience!!
You should check out Nelson Ledges Quarry Park while you're in Ohio. They have music festivals there but you can also just camp there and swim when there are no festivals going on. Trust me, you won't regret it! Also some really cool places in Pennsylvania.
Thanks for the tip, I’m in PA now but will totally check that out if I can when I head back through OH! Just looked it up, it looks like a really unique spot
there’s the old PA turnpike tunnel though apatchy mountains in the west of pa, heard it’s cool. has a top part for the airway people get into, it’s dry they told me
In the works 😉
I haven’t been there in about 15 years, doesn’t look like it changed much
Try the Land Between the Lakes area, lots of abandoned spots in the area.
Thanks, that looks like a super cool area! I will have to check it out if I'm traveling down that way
You should go up to Boston and go camping on one of the Harbor Islands.
Right!! Boston seems to have so many cool little islands to check out
Man , i got freaked out when i saw the sub. count of your channel.
You content is top notch , you should atleast have 1 mil. subs. , i enjoyed your video..
I actually watch shiey's videos and other such channels..
Keep the hustle going brother , stay blessed ❤❤
Appreciate that Tarun, that means a lot!! I am a fan of Shiey as well, definitely inspirational. I will keep em coming, thanks for checking out the vid! Hope you enjoy all the adventures 😊
That’s one fine beard, sir 🫡 🇬🇧
Thank you kindly 🫡🫡
1:00 I commend you for identifying and labeling (including Latin/scientific name) some neat incidental organism you featured. Lots of videos like this have random shots of lively flora and fauna and make no attempt to educate on what they are showing.
So glad you appreciate it. Hard for me to see something cool like that and not try and research it! Then of course I wanna share it with the audience 😉 Thanks for watching
Minecraft cave noise earned you an immediate sub I wish I found you sooner
Hahaha you noticed 😉 Appreciate you watching and subbing, hope you enjoy the future adventures to come!! 🏕️
