Thanks!
Thanks Cliff, Always enjoy seeing the industrial relics of the past!👍
Thank you for getting rid of the litter!!
It reminds me of the kids book called Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel.
Me too!
That A-10 Warhog at the end sounded gnarly echoing through the mountains
I believe that the cartoon you speak of was a Children's book called, 'Mike Mulligan and Mary Ann' I have my copy still.
I only discovered your videos a few weeks ago when I was doing genealogy research on my ancestors that made Pennsylvania their home back in the 19th century and before.
Great content. Who knows, I may see one of my ancestors names in one of your old abandoned cemetery videos.
now that is cool
maybe there should be some sort of roof over the general , keep it out of at least some of the weather
It's good to see the General again. Thanks for letting us come along!
The “General” was manufactured by the Osgood Co. of Marion, Ohio. Osgood began in 1910 under another name, but changed to the Osgood Co. after a lawsuit in 1912. The company operated until 1954 when it was purchased by the Marion Steam Shovel Co., the same company that sued over Osgood original name in 1912! This machine was reportedly a gasoline shovel. I’ve never been able to determine what year it was built though.
I biked the rail trail a few times with friends. Now at 90 ,I enjoy watching your videos
I love the way you make me feel the serenity of the hike. I can smell the dry leaves and hear the wind whispering through the trees. Of course the historical aspects are a real treat. Thank you
🤔 I think they call them a drag link shovel
Love the Cold Springs area! My parents live in nearby Palmyra 👍 Thanks for the tour!
It's not a steam shovel. A piece of equipment like that is considered an excavator. On tracks.
The General!!! This trail is beautiful. Great way to start the morning! 🙌☕
Visited the General with you B4, cool to see it again. A friend from the mining town of Morea, Pa took me to his childhood home in 83 or so. There were two huge abandoned machines similar to the General but larger and operated by electric motors. Just left there to rust away, probably still there.
Thank you for the nice hike. After watching your video, my family and I are excited to try and find the General too.
The notes are out of control haha
It’s crazy to think the people who built that and used it are all long gone.
The general is aging well. It is a mark in time.
Are the notes really any different than your channel stickers in plastic bags?
Quite a bit different...
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 so... How... Are... They... Different?....
Fill me in since I must have missed what the deal is with the notes. Honestly I don't remember hearing you say exactly what they are about and why they bother you....
Good visit with an old friend! Thank you for sharing!
So many small towns around Ft. Indian Town Gap. Coming from central Iowa, I was surprised at all the villages and small towns surrounding the post.
Cliff,
Perhaps not mentioning those "notes" is promoting them.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
I always enjoy watching your videos, Cliff. Thanks for posting. You know, I bet even a few hundred MORE years from now, those gears will still be intact. I can imagine some far future archeologist digging them out of the dirt and wondering what kind of machinery they once operated.
nice steam shovel needs to b saved and restored
Restoring is a good idea but I kind of like it the way it is.
It’s being many years since I’ve vacationed in Beautiful Pennsylvania but your videos remind me I need to revisit. We live in such a great country every state has interesting things to offer. Get out there and explore.
Lovely to see The General. So lovely to see a piece of history. Loved it. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care
I bet the professor from Gilligan's Island could make the General purr and useful on the island.....but then theres Gilligan....
its iron in that creek
that is called a escavator
They were using it to search for arrow heads. Mentioning the notes probably encourages more people to investigate whatever they are, and start leaving their own.
God's country. What a blessing for you and for me to be able to watch your hike as I can do that kind of thing anymore.
General is very cool, stream run off most likely is just flowing through a natural deposit. What is up with the stupid notes? They must have a very sad pathetic life, be a dumb thing to go to jail for.
It would be interesting to know the Ph of that " spring drainage " . Up on Barklay Mt. in Bradford county it usually is between 3.0 and 4.0 where the metals drop out and color the stream bed. Maybe in the future you could grab a sample for testing.
Nice hike...
nice hike!
There's still some grease on one of those cogs. It tells its own story in the years of corrosion. I plan to go there. Pity the fool that writes the notes, but they're getting exercise. God help them.
I remember you seeing a bear at the dollar general one time!
Speaking of what the machine would say if it could talk, someone should put a log book in that thing.
I agree about the notes. Hiking is supposed to clear your mind of everyday stress and get you back to nature. Who needs that kind of garbage on the trails.
When you were moving the levers,you didnt make the "rum rum" engine sound. Lol. Nice hike. A couple of questions I had you answered. I swear you can read my mind through the tv,even tho you arent live.Maybe its more than one person leaving those notes. A cult maybe? Anyway, be safe.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Poor old cable shovel. looks like some one made off with the radiator and removed engine parts. Was a lot better than shovels and maybe a mule when it was new.
I need to get out there sooner than later. Thanks for rekindling my interest. Do i understand it right you parked near Dresden Lake? I wondered about the condition of the road (and ongoing access).
yep
If you come to clinton, centre or lycoming counties lmk. my bf and i watch ya videos. i do the trains and history stuff, he does nature videos.
Cool u mean Thomas the train?
Not the one I was thinking of..
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 Oh
I've heard that bent trees like the one you saw near the random pipe in the ground (timestamp ~ 9:07) had been made by Native Americans to mark trails etc. Do you know if there is any truth to that?
Most of the trees shaped like that come from weather damage of some sort. Almost all of the trees that were around during the time of Native Americans living here are all gone.
Going look for Bigfoot cool
So, what's in the backpack? Looks a bit fuller than when you first started.
Probably full of those notes he keeps finding! lol😅
So if this notorious note person gets caught, what crime have they committed?
I would imagine at least one count of littering for every note they could find.
18 U.S. Code § 1365 - Tampering with consumer products
Because the notes have been found in food packages.
@@jayforkner2692 I have seen no credible evidence of that, hearsay. Catching someone leaving notes in the woods is not equivalent to catching alleged food note bandit.
Disturbing a peaceful hike. Major crime!
what are those notes?
Conspiracy theory nonsense and ramblings.
