  • E-bike ride on the pike to bike trail. Old Pa turnpike. 2 tunnels on this trail. Feels like you are in a post-apocalyptic earth.

    Chris and I were whistling along with you in the first tunnel. This was a spooky trail. Just before the 14 min mark you turned the camera on 2 huge, tall plants on the side of the trail, They were Mullein plants. Very good for the respiratory system, along with other things. I’ll have a video of the medicinal benefits of mullein in the near future. I loved this video, but it was a lonely, spooky ride. I’m petrified of bats 🦇 and that tunnel looked like bat city. We wish Bob well and we’re thinking of him. Thanks for the ride 🤗💙🙏

    Cool bit of trivia. At 4:30. You point your camera upward and there is some very old graffiti painted up there that has been there at least since 2005 or even before probably. But I can definitely date it back to a picture of Sideling Hill that was featured on the cover of a Penn Lines magazine. It was a 2005 issue that first mentioned the Pike2Bike and it also discussed about light bulbs such as CFL's. The Graffiti is what I call Green Rabbit or something to that effect.
    I like your editing you keep it interesting. Also I've got a playlist on my channel with my videos of the Abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike. You should watch my video of my first trip in 2013. You will see alot less graffiti on the walls back then.

    You were totally right about it looking like an apocalyptic movie scene, especially with the eerie fog and the graffiti. I have to agree with your opinion on graffiti. Normally, I hate graffiti, but in this instance, it kind of seemed appropriate. It never ceases to amaze me how mankind builds such costly and extravagant structures, and then just lets them go to waste. It's very strange. Oh and I've had three songs stuck in my head for weeks now. One of them is "Alone Again, Naturally" (I blame you for that one.) Also, "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadda, Here I am at Camp Grenada" (I blame Randy for that one, because he mentioned it one day.) The last one is Dolly Parton's "Here You Come Again, and There I go" (That one is my fault because I was listening to an Oldies station and was reminded that I had forgotten that song, but liked it.) I really enjoyed this video because my kids were talking about riding their one wheels at this very spot, so it was extra interesting to me. Loved the disappearing act towards the end. You are very talented and entertaining. 🚲 🌻🌼🌲🌿🏵🌹🚲📸 🔦

    People go up into those rooms all the time. Just watch other videos you'll see. The road is marked at your own risk. I think that sign is probably there to cover thier butts if someone tries to sue if they get injured. I've never gone up there myself. But my nephew did back in 2013. I prefer to go in March right around Dpring. Less chance of snakes and I'll tell you it feels so much more open with no leaves on the trees.

    • @dayhikedave
      @dayhikedave  11 месяцев назад +1

      I know alot of people that have been up there. Really cool looking. That was the first time I have seen those signs. But I haven't been here for a year or so. I wouldn't want to film it. That would be proof I didnt obey. According to sign you can get permission. Thanks for watching and commenting. God bless 👍🙂🙏

    Dave, im not all the way through, but I feel that you changed something in your video settings. I really loved the "feel" of this one- in terms of the look of the film - it had great visuals and audio, besides just being another overall outstanding project! Did you film this in 24 frames per second?

    • @dayhikedave
      @dayhikedave  11 месяцев назад +1

      Yes. It was 24fps. Wow, amazing how you noticed. I guess that's why your videos are so awesome. You notice every detail. Should I continue to use this setting? Anyway always great knowing you watching and hearing from you! I would love to see your production of these tunnels 😮. Would be awesome.
      Hopefully see you on the trail sometime soon!!!👍🙂🙏
