As you know I live in Rockville MD and wasn't aware of snow the last few days when did it snow up there in pa and would it be ok to friend request you on Facebook soon ?
What a great find, JP. Every time you said "I am not going in there" I said, "please don't". Never put us above your safety. Thank you for taking us with you! Lots of fun!
Interesting, explore Jay. When I was a little kid, a lumber yard near where I lived caught fire and burned for 3 days! A wild guess, the last building that you thought was a power plant may have been part of the kiln to dry the raw wood after it was cut/milled. The process needs room for the heated air to move around the wood for "x" amount of time. The monitor wells may be for chemicals that the lumber was treated with. It would be cool to find an employee who worked there and give you a guided tour and what the various buildings were used for, and the processes done. Stay safe out there alone. 👍🤙
The three high bay building at 35:15 is most likely the kiln. Years ago I toured Deer Park Lumber in Tunkhannock which had building with a similar design for the purpose. The item at 38:00 is likely part of the door suspension, a style sometimes called "barn doors" (and have become something of a decore thing for some homes) which use rollers on pipe-like track so the door moves inline.
Great tour! Always sad to see another industry gone down the drain. The monitoring dry wells might have been put in by the town or state if toxic materials were suspected to be in the ground. Thank you for taking us, JP, and always appreciated! ……🌝
The pipes in the ground are usually put there by the EPA. They can randomly do soil or water tests to see if there is oil or contaminants in the ground. Enjoyed the video.
Looks like this was more than a lumber yard. More likely a sawmill. The high Three Bay building with the boiler on the back was probably a kiln and I suspect the others that were high like that might have been kilns too.
Cool explore. There were a lot of buildings there. It's ashame there is no way to know what the different buildings were used for. There had to be large machines to cut various sizes of wood and to make plywood. There would also have to be a place for removing the bark and a kiln for drying. They probably sold off all the usable equipment so no way to know where it had been. Thanks for taking us along.
From what I have seen in my life time (I'm 60), I have never seen a lumber yard that doesn't/didn't have a railroad spur going to it, so it's a strong possibility that some of the ATV trails may be old railroad track beds
This is just such a great find and an awesome adventure and yes it was incredible how many buildings were on the property. I can just imagine when it was all in operation with lots of action going on there. Loved the shades and poor smelly TJ! 😂 And a toy! It was interesting to see the vine branches growing around the handrail of the external staircase you showed. Fascinating video JP, thank you!
I know exactly where you are. My friend's and I have yet to figure out what the long building actually used to be however, we do know there was a huge dispute over a clean up back in the 90's. There's a concrete pad in the back on the hill. You are right, that was a garage. The last time I was there, it wasn't collapsed. The cinderblock build with the side overhang, never figured that out.
@@jamestalcott1637 gotcha. The other thing that puzzled me was the "over hang" with the narrow gauge rail. The huge concrete building with the 3 "bays" is a mystery. I know a few people that live close to the place.
This was an interesting explore Jay!!! You did a spectacular job!!! The shades looked cool 😎 on you!!! Thank you for the adventure, I enjoyed it 😊 Take care, stay safe and warm out there!!! Much love ❤️ May God bless you ❤️❤️
I am always happy to go with you on your explores. Since I can't get there in person, going with you is as good as being there in person. And I can stay warm and dry in my room.
Great exploration JP, I like seeing that old heating equipment. Looks like it could have been natural gas heating, I wonder how they installed the ceiling fans that high above. 🤔
Really cool abandoned adventure JP! Those buildings remind me alot of a woodworking outfit I worked at for awhile back in the early 90's. Thanks for bringing us along for the adventure!
Yes Jay is qualified for a very wide open door policy and no sign of No Trespassing signs? I can hear some noises from trucks in the background. Yes if you find a toy its definitely abandoned lol. Yes the basket ball is seen as a possible toy, as you do play with it lol. It just shows you that Mother Nature can impede and stop things from closing such as that door what the tree blocked it from closing. Through time these abandoned buildings are taken over by trees shrubs and other plants ... Shame that it was set alight on purpose and wonder if they caught the people involved. Thank you for sharing this place with us Jay take care huni 🥰
Great video !! I love theses types of video's so much to see and explore !! I would say that smoke stack into that big poured concrete square is really odd .....really odd. Maybe if possible come back when the snow melts you might find more that tells you what it was used for. I did notice over the inner pipe of that big smoke stack was twisted Galvanized Drainage Culvert. I think that last part with the 3 bays that had pipes in the ceilings were for drying lumber . That being said that last room with the hopper was most likely for wood chips to go to the boiler in front of it that heated water and warmed those 3 bays to dry lumber .....just a guess. Shame about all the burnt buildings people just can leave things alone .I don't blame you for being cautious around those homes .....but you did have on the perfect hoodie for this explore .....matched the tree's and snow perfectly !! Great video as alway's !! 👍👍
I dont know, was that first door really open door policy...lol...moe like open air...lol Great content as usual, and i personally think its very commendable how respectful you are of these places, and the people around them!
Really interesting place. My goodness that place covers a huge area of land and seems pretty vast. I was expecting two Dobermans with invisible fence collars to come running out any minute. Neat place but looks like it could be a dangerous one too. Be careful especially when by yourself. Its always best if someone has your six. ✌
Hi Jay, I wonder if it was than just a lumber yard in that they could have made woodchips and also sawdust, that building at 43:06 where you put the camera inside, it looked like piles of sawdust ??. A really cool adventure, so many buildings on property there, I wonder if some of the ones that are collapsed were victims of a storm, maybe Fiona ??. Either way it was a really cool adventure seeing what was left behind. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💞
@@JPVideos81 I would say just different sizes of timber also wood chips and sawdust so the building would have been used to either make or store those different wood products. We had a lumber yard not far from where I used to live and they used to make the same things. x
That's a big ass operation. Big enough to have had kilns for drying "green" lumber and I'm wondering if that's what those buildings with the odd piping were.
Great exploring video JP, it just makes me angry that "people" will go out of their way to destroy someone else's property just because they can, I wonder how they would feel if that happened to them
Soon as you said my future is so bright I said aloud I gotta wear shades and you did as well lol see us 80s 90s kids totally get it right away I'll be 39 April 2
I honestly believe you bring on your own anxiety, I really do. When you're out filming, you keep thinking about things so much that you're forcing your brain to think about it. Then you get paranoid. But hay, that's you and that's entertaining itself. Again, thanks for another great explore and as always taking the risk for those who of us who are not brave enough. Like me. Lol
People who say something might not be interesting makes me more inclined to explore the location. And the locations always are too interesting to pass up.
@@jamesalinio5277 Not if you were a developer planning on building more houses for sale. Regardless, my original statement was if somebody saw him, what would/could they think.
@@whtelephant1 the main issue with putting a residential block on the property is, it is currently commercial/industrial, not residential, and considering there are monitoring wells, it will take a lot of time to get the local municipality to change the land description from one to the other, especially if the state is part of the monitoring wells, unless of course someone has a lot of money 💰💰💰💰 to pay off public officials to get it changed, there are other ways around the governmental hassles like dumping 10 feet of good top soil per lot and having city water and sewer, but is it worth it?
So what exactly attracted you to the blue chair? Did you find anything weird or strange about it? I did... It should be a cold steel chair, just sitting outside in the snow... 😲 oh wait a minute there was no snow on the chair, and none underneath it as you would expect but none on it as you would expect, very very strange... 👻 Like something was sitting on the chair when it snowed... 🤔 kiln for drying wood I would imagine...
People who do this blame their Parents for disciplining them with a Spanking or what ever. I was disciplined as a child a couple of time but I don't go around doing Stupit stuff. I wonder if whoever did all this got his Jollys by doing it?. Maybe I'm just out of touch with reality. If you discipline your child your the bad person if you don't discipline them they become Brats. J.P. it's like your dammed if you do discipline an your dammed if you don't. J.P. Thank You so much for Sharing your find with us.
We can now add this location/business added to the list of places I've explored. Were you surprised by how many buildings there were?
I was surprised. This might be a stupid question, but they made me wonder, how are the buildings all connected?!! What kind of business was it?
Yes...a lot more than I thought there would be ! A great explore ! (loved the sand pail and Christmas tree LOL )
As you know I live in Rockville MD and wasn't aware of snow the last few days when did it snow up there in pa and would it be ok to friend request you on Facebook soon ?
Could the "smoke stack" been a whistle? Many large companies like this would have had a work/shift whistle. Just a thought!
This is further north in PA and from last week
What a great find, JP. Every time you said "I am not going in there" I said, "please don't". Never put us above your safety. Thank you for taking us with you! Lots of fun!

I later thought maybe for pressure treating, but drying makes sense as well. Thanks for stopping by

Well unless lightning stroke it naturally ..If it caught fire some People mostly Set it And that's so sad..

The big tall building was conventional kilns for drying wood
Good job, JP....
Amazing location!
At 24:40 that's a old style wood burning furnace we had them in our families homes in northern WI back in the 90s
Thanks for confirming
@@JPVideos81 welcome JP
I wonder if there are rail lines nearby? Lumber yards always seem to be built near freight lines. Good find as usual!
You wonder, I doubt.
I wasn't paying close attention, but the ATV trail looked like it might have been the bed of an old spur. Or not, I don't know.
From what I have seen in my life time (I'm 60), I have never seen a lumber yard that doesn't/didn't have a railroad spur going to it, so it's a strong possibility that some of the ATV trails may be old railroad track beds
The building with the hughe door openings or better bays.the piping is for what is called barn door style track for doors.

another cool video, i always see items /materials that could be reclaimed, restored or reused. enjoyed the video
These garages and barn like structures can definitely be repurposed. Nice covered spaces.
Great day to explore and thank you for sharing this with us it's greatly appreciated

This was a great video. We enjoyed it 🤗
So sad knowing people worked here provided for families.Never understand why vandalism and burning is so important !
Hi Jay. Awesome video. Hope you are doing great.
Thanks! You too!
I think that triple bay building was a steam heated drying chamber/autoclave for wood products.
Pretty cool J. I wasn’t surprised at the number of buildings as I was they hàd to bring in semi trailers for storage.
Makes you wonder what the purpose was for each of them.
@@JPVideos81 You’re right J. I'd be curious to know too.
I am always happy to go with you on your explores. Since I can't get there in person, going with you is as good as being there in person. And I can stay warm and dry in my room.

Probably had scissor lift or cherry picker truck.
great video and tour thanks
The last building was a kiln dryer and it used the chips from the milling to run the heating system
Quite the adventure .
So fantastic, just what went on there so long ago!
Really cool abandoned adventure JP! Those buildings remind me alot of a woodworking outfit I worked at for awhile back in the early 90's. Thanks for bringing us along for the adventure!

This also has an open roof policy.

Kilns for drying lumber.
Why can't we get a concrete poor these days that holds up as well as those floors in those buildings?

Snow on an old roof can cause collapse.
I can’t help but wonder how many people walked through our abandoned 1700’s farm before we found it? Maybe you😂Thanks

I hear ya on that. It's a frustrating topic.
The region has had more than a few instances of volunteer firefighters also being firebugs.
Kiln. Dryers. For. Treated. Lumber.
Torch the tires.
Take the tires to Laurel Run, have a tire fire on top of the mine fire.
(I hope it's obvious, but I'm joking.)
Quite the adventure .
