      Sheesh...I was actually going to be there today and was excited to see you were placing a sticker there. Gotta be quick to get these things....oh well.

      Wow! Folks love those channel stickers!! You could put one on Antartica and someone would find it in a day or two!

    Thanks Cliff for getting us out in the sunshine. It's hard to believe the amount of tornado damage.

    It's even beautiful in its own way with the tornado damage. That area is actually beneficial to all kinds of wildlife as the wood decays and the forest slowly returns.

    Well Cliff what a beautiful video. The whole area is totally gorgeous. Love the cemetery it is so peaceful there. Would be lovely if you came back in summer and show us it with the trees. Thanks so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care

    Anyone who works in the woods knows the distinct differences between hard and soft woods. I happened to visit this area just after the damage took place. Seeing a tree with a 20 inch trunk blown over is not hard to imagine but there were 70 ft.+ oak, beech, maple, hickory etc. snapped off 20 - 30 ft. up. That's crazy wind strength. Thanks again Cliff for another nice video and for visiting DelCo.

    Great weather for a hike Cliff. Seeing the devastation around the area of the Russel plot reminds me of a time back in 1995,July14-15; camping in the Adirondacks. I was back off the beaten path when a micro burst happened. 100 mph winds, trees were falling, raining sideways! It was a mess. 2 hour hike in and 1 1/2 days hiking and climbing out, it was awful. Thanks for sharing the great places PA offers. 👍

    The bench there is a nice touch. Somebody must keep an eye on the place and keep it up.

    there used to be no trees when the graveyard was built, so you could see the mansion from the hill. I suppose you can see it again now.

    Went last Spring almost all the trails were closed. Roads were closed due to large tress falling. Park is not far from NJ and De. Brandywine Battlefield not that far from here either. I want to hike it one day but I will wait awhile. Thanks for filming. Yes there was a tornado and bad damage was done to the park. Also Chester,Delaware,Bucks counties large Quaker early settlements.

    Hi Cliff, wow so much devastation in that area, why have they not tried to clear any of the debris ???. A strange request to be buried standing up, I see his idea though. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖

  • @danmathers141
    @danmathers141 3 года назад

    I wonder what sort of clean-up might be going on. I see trails have been cleared as well as the cemetery and the gas line. There are a lot of trees down. My comment is because I am concerned about regrowth coming back through mess.

    If you take a small led light like the O Light Baton Pro or something similar., you can read most faded or hard to read headstones. Check out Sidestep Adventures. They use lights all the time to read lettering and dates on headstones in Georgia. And according to Find a grave the broken headstone was not broken before the tornado.
