Lippincott's Gazetteer of the World - 1902 Cold Spring, a township of Lebanon co., Pa. Pop. 80. Cold Spring Station is on the Schuylkill and Susquehanna Railroad, a branch of the Reading Company. 26 miles N.E. of Harrisburg.
Another great and informative historical treat! The history there is full of goodies....there was also a mill west of magnesia springs about a mile, along the edge of what is now part of the beaver pool....the red trail blazes take you very near it. The red blazes eventually bring you onto the rail trail outside of yellow springs about 2 miles. Thanks again for the video history walk through wonderful St. Anthony's Wilderness!!
Another good vid. I have been back there a few times and even found an old, perfect H.Clay Clover " Imperial Mange Medicine" bottle in the leaf litter under one of those old pine trees near where the R.R. station once stood.
Wow these videos are awesome..I wish I could get to these places and see them. Thank you for being my eyes and also thank you for not adding music because the music takes away from the realness of the video..but anyway thank u have a blessed day peace
I have been to Cold Spring two times, but did not do any prior research on the area. You have inspired me to do some research similar to what you did and then I will go back. It will be more meaningful after doing that. Thanks for all of your great videos, I truly enjoy each one of them.
Would be a wonderful spot to use a metal detector and try to save some history. Of course I'd be looking really hard for one of those mineral water bottles. Enjoy your explorations. Thanks, Steve
People, aka tax payers, hunt, fish, swim & hike in that area. If an ambulance, police or fire & rescue have to travel to remote places where people go, they can’t just fly over stuff. Not everything is a gummint conspiracy.
Love the vid. Keep on exploring. It’s cool to see another fellow Pennsylvanian on RUclips. Hahaha. (I prefer abandoned resorts like penn hills or the summit resort)
Just began watching this video.I couldn't possible get tired of seeing those little lizards.you wouldn't thing that in nature something would be brightly colored to stand out so much.Are they a type of salamander ? thank you for sharing.Back to your video.....
that's my back yard one of the authors of the book the historical society has was an English teacher at my high school I've done allot reasearch on cold springs.
Got a little dizzy watching this one. Would you please pan around a lot slower in future videos? Plus, it gives more time to actually see the interests. Thank you!
Did you ever think of taking a small group with you, and you, and the group stay there over night. They could help you with the camera, and help you find things, and places too. It also might make your videos more interesting too, not that they arn't interesting now, they are, it just might make them better. It might be more fun for you too. please do more videos of the, Stoney Creek area, it has alot of history, even the Blue Eyed Six, hung out in Stoney Creek area. Excellent Videos! I have learned alot of local history of Pennsylvania. Thanks alot!
I saw the biggest timber rattler ever on the foundation for the old hotel. Actually fell and landed about 2 feet away from it all coiled up and chillin. Only fell because friend I was with saw it, started running but didn't say why. I thought everything from a bear to a crazed axe wielding homicidal maniac. As I turned to run is when I saw the huge snake and ended up laying about 2 feet away from it, pushing myself away. Didn't strike, didn't make a sound. Once I got to my feet is when I messed with it and made it mad and realized what it was. After that I left it go on it's merry way. Thing was round as my forearm, beautiful snake though.
You were lucky. But just what was you going to do with it.? My dad knew every kind of snake there is. Poison and none. He had his hogs in the woods, turned over a trough once there was a rattler, he killed it. Later said had he known what it was he would of left it alone. He bought it home with the pitch fork still in it's head.😟. I believe the guy down the road took it. Dad said they eat the mouse that ate the pig feed. He regretted it. I thought my dad was a kidder loved trying to scare us. Everytime the lights went out. He'd tell us kids Ghost stories. He'd have a huge smile on his face. I miss him. I could tell him a snake I saw, dang if he didn't know what it was. I'd look it up and yes dad was always right.😁. ✌🖖🕯. Love,respect and positivity always n.i.🙂👋👣🙏.
Why didn't anyone stay it's a very peaceful beautiful place. Did the people get removed and land taken like swattara park ? Who owns the lots? I like your videos
Actually due to sickness and lack of work people slowly moved a way or died and the military owned the land afterwards before game commission bought it off the military
Why the spend $ and put a bridge in where vehicles sent allowed to drive and area has no traffic except a few hikers Many bridges need repairs why that one?
It's on state game lands, it gets a lot of traffic during hunting season. And it provides access to other areas in case of forest fires or other emergencies.

Awesome red efts! I love exploring old ghost towns in the wilderness... Great video!
Amazing remains,history and beautiful hike.

daytondigger1 wI just came in!can you please tell me , where we are.?
👍✌🖖🕯🙏🦋🌠🌻🙂👋👣. Love,respect and positivity always. Neita.
Our Government has undisclosed reasons for replacing bridges in remote places, would be interesting to know the facts.
Schools buses

Not everything is a gummint conspiracy.
Tin foil hat time
As well, always making places with old ruins that have sketchy backstories into national parks, and golf courses..
hi Cliff got up early The Olympics Great red reptiles 5yrs ago video but i like it Brian
New subscriber ~ Looks like a neat place to metal detect. Thanks for the ride-a-long!!!
It would be awesome to make that Care Takers place a home site again with between 20 and 50 acres and make that trail the road into your house.
Love the vid. Keep on exploring. It’s cool to see another fellow Pennsylvanian on RUclips. Hahaha.
(I prefer abandoned resorts like penn hills or the summit resort)
love watching Cliff.
Very cool! Thanks so much

They are called Red Efts.
Candy Santillo a type of Newt that used to be common in Pennsylvania but, due to ecological decline they are becoming more and more scarce.
that's my back yard one of the authors of the book the historical society has was an English teacher at my high school I've done allot reasearch on cold springs.
I've never seen lizards like that before.😍
They are cute, I think they were sunning themselves
Ya, they didn’t look real. Cute
Just don't touch them and then rub your eyes. It will burn.
Their camouflage isn't very good! Cute, though.
Fantastic Video!!!

Hunt out there a lot and hike.out there as well

whow gt bravery like railways j. c. b. n background i used to to climb 3400ft mountain twice here n more brian look up these again peace
So pretty.
Wonder if any of the old foundations would have time capsules?
At one time people thought radium infused water had healing properties.
Other side of the bridge off to the right there was graveyard. at least there was in the early 90's
You could build your cabin. If that's really your dream you can do it.
Makes me want to throw a tent up and stay awhile.
Why didn't anyone stay it's a very peaceful beautiful place. Did the people get removed and land taken like swattara park ? Who owns the lots? I like your videos
It's owned by the PA game commission, it was just abandoned
Actually due to sickness and lack of work people slowly moved a way or died and the military owned the land afterwards before game commission bought it off the military
Cool
Whear is this ?
You should check out glen summit pa
Is this the backside of hawk mountain around indiantown gap?
Yes.
Would be interesting to take a metal detector around that area see what you could find....l
What state are you in.
pennsylvania
Why the spend $ and put a bridge in where vehicles sent allowed to drive and area has no traffic except a few hikers Many bridges need repairs why that one?
It's on state game lands, it gets a lot of traffic during hunting season. And it provides access to other areas in case of forest fires or other emergencies.
Thats kinda qierd as to why there are steps going down into Magnishia Springs.
"Cold Springs"? More like " Cool Springs" amirite?
Don't ya love fern
tom smith Better than poison ivy.
Not better than Mountain Laurel or Rhododendron.
did you ever consider bringing a metal detector with you on some of these trips? I bet you can find at least a few old coins
this place is on state game lands, they don't allow metal detecting.
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 what a shame. I bet it is full of interesting goodies.
