    What’s up guys! Unfortunately, I noticed that there are a few short laggy scenes throughout the video (each are maybe only 2-4 seconds long and slightly slower than usual). This is strange since I had not encountered any of these laggy scenes during my review of the final edit of the video.
    This is typically not up to my standards, since I strive to keep my videos running smoothly, and I’m not sure where these laggy moments are coming from as I did not encounter them while editing. Hopefully they are subtle and infrequent enough that they don’t distract from the overall video’s theme and content.
    Sorry about that guys! I will double-check my next video to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.

    Sick spot, crazy to imagine it without the forest grown over it all. Went during the summer, the cave crickets in the tunnels were insane, total horror movie vibes.

      Oh yeah, I bet the bugs are really bad in the spring and summer lol. Luckily it wasn’t too bad during mid-November as I filmed this. But that place definitely has a very eerie and unsettling feeling for sure.

    An instant J-MASS classic! I so want to visit this spot now. It kind of rivals Fort Wetherill in a way. Props to the high caliber graffiti, though those leftover spray paint cans were absolutely insane. I've never seen anything like that either. On another note, my partner said those "windows" in the long tunnels are designed for sound deadening for the shooting range, as you discovered when you did the obligatory echo check.

    • @j-mass
      @j-mass  Месяц назад +1

      That makes sense about the windows! My original hypothesis was that they were simply used to air out the tunnels, but that does make sense as well, especially since the range probably got pretty loud! That’s actually another good point I didn’t bring up in the video-I bet part of why the local residents hated that range was due to how loud it was! You absolutely should go check this place out, it’s so cool!

    Why didn't you go down the hobbit hole in the tree, Frodo? 🤣 I was anticipating that moment. Still such a freaken dope exploration.

      LOL I wish I saw that tree entrance first, that would’ve been a fun way to be introduced to the tunnels! Could’ve made the trek through the hole on my way to Mordor 😂

    Hey Jacob!! Cool find! Amazing how many tunnels there actually are! Nice theme song! I like it! Keep 'em coming! I enjoy your videos, always offer a bit of history too. Makes it more fun!

      Thank you so much for checking in homie! 🙏 I always love traveling out-of-state to see what other abandoned sites are lurking out there! The Hudson River Valley has so many bandos dude, you gotta check ‘em out!

    My favorite place that I ever urban explored is the old movie theater that was on Main Street in my hometown. It was operated up until the 70's and it was much larger than any other theater I've been in.

    • @j-mass
      @j-mass  Месяц назад +1

      That sounds fascinating! I’d love to explore an abandoned movie theater someday-the closest I’ve ever gotten to that was an old abandoned drive-in theater.

    Fascinating place and those tunnels are creepy as hell. I do wonder what all those different buildings were for, they were all of a similar design. Impressive looking beams in the ceilings too. The graffiti paint graveyard was pretty weird as well - it's a shame that people don't take all crap back out with them. Looking forward to the next J-MASS adventure as always!!

    • @j-mass
      @j-mass  Месяц назад +1

      Thanks so much dude! My guess is that those buildings were for ammunition storage (I found some talk about that possibility online, but could not confirm those claims). And I agree, all those empty spray paint bottles were strange!

    • @elvee7851
      @elvee7851 Месяц назад

      @@j-mass Could possibly be storage for light munitions. Usually munitions storage buildings are covered with earth to contain any accidental explosions.

    Another great exploration... I would get so freaked out with every little sound in the tunnels. I went back to watch your Princeton video and it is not listed any more? Didnt get to watch the full video and was going back to finish it and cant. any potential? Keep up the great work and showing us your adventures. J

    • @j-mass
      @j-mass  Месяц назад +2

      Thanks man! Not sure if it picked up on camera, but the wind and breeze whipping through the narrow windows of the tunnel made a really creepy noise that had me on-edge haha. Regarding the Princeton, MA video: I will be putting that back up again soon, but I was asked to temporarily private it by one of the urbexers I collaborated with in it. It won’t be permanent; hopefully in 2 weeks or so, it’s back up!

    Good stuff JMASS. RTO has been looking for tunnels to explore, might have to take a trip out here. Do you know anything about the Brookline tunnels? Best.

    • @j-mass
      @j-mass  Месяц назад

      Thanks bro, it’s absolutely worth a visit! And sadly no, I don’t know anything about the Brookline tunnels. I know there are some abandoned MBTA tunnels underneath Boston, but I don’t know how to access them, and I’ve heard they’re extremely risky. But that sounds sick though!

    3:33 that crack in the roof is nasty. Not long before that beam gives out. 5:05 rifle range backstop? 6:43 I would just like to comment this particular room looks newer than 1910 because it is made out of concrete CMU blocks which were not often seen until the 1940s. 9:54 Im going to take a wild guess and say most of the structures here are later than 1910, just based on what you said about the air raid post. or maybe they added on to existing infrastructure? 12:14 not that anyone asked, but with graffiti it is mixed for me. While some of the art is very good and obviously took time and effort, it is the artist deciding that someone else's property is their canvas, that is my issue. Some people allow graffiti to decorate their buildings but most likely the NY State Park Service did not condone this and therefore it is vandalism, regardless of how good the art is. 12:37 this is definitely pre-1920 construction, no rebar which has led the concrete to deteriorate quicker and it makes it easier to create holes as well. 13:59 notice the cracking along the right wall, this lookx to be an active crack thus suggesting the integrity of the concrete is poor aka gonna collapse soon. It is probably the pressure from the dirt and lack of rebar that is causing this 14:08 it is even worse on the left side in this frame. 15:14 this more looks like a collapse. 16:46 yeah none of this is NIKE related at all. Also just a note about NIKE sites, most of the cool stuff is underground the magazines so it may look like there isn't much left but the launcher magazines are probably still there. Thank you for this wonderful video!

      Thanks so much for the information and details, man! I always appreciate you giving your input! Fun fact by the way: I did end up visiting that NIKE park after I wrapped up filming this (it’s a roughly 10 minute drive from the tunnels). Not much was there, other than a huge, grassy clearing which likely once held infrastructure and the launch site. There were also a few small concrete structures scattered around. I didn’t go into too much detail about its history here as the NIKE site was technically not on the former Camp Bluefields site, but they were still very close by! Absolutely worth a visit if you’re ever over there!

    those tunnels would make me feel so claustrophobic lol, they should name them to the claustrophobic mountain tunnels instead 😂

    • @j-mass
      @j-mass  Месяц назад

      LOL that is a very fitting name! Those tunnels were definitely quite eerie; I was a little on-edge most of the time!

    Are you ever gonna do a video of an abandoned place or the woods at night

    • @j-mass
      @j-mass  Месяц назад

      I’m not sure yet; filming at night is tough since the footage usually looks very low-quality and grainy because of how dark it is. Maybe someday if I can get the right equipment to film at night!
