Sully's Rock Foundation is dedicated to helping recovering addicts of drugs and alcohol through education. This organization was created in memory of Sullivan James Burd who died on September 9, 2010 from a heroin overdose. He was 20 years old. During his struggle with addiction, Sully continuously helped his friends try to overcome their own battles with drugs and alcohol. He was wise and talented beyond his years and gave his heart to others. He loved technology, music, playing the bass guitar, drawing, writing poetry, riding his bike and rock climbing. Sully died on his favorite rock at Ralph Stover State Park where his father found him. He died in a place that he loved and felt safe. Sully knew that nature helped to heal him. His wish was to help others conquer their demons of addiction and we are committed to continuing his legacy.
My son has had an addiction since he was 17 years old and he just turned 40. He has ODed twice and was brought back. He has been to rehab 3 times. He has went to jail and even a year in prison. He still had drugs while behind bars. Currently he is out of jail and says he is drug free but who knows? Addiction is a beast that takes your dreams, ambitions and your life. When he was in jail this last time 4 people ODed within a week of being released from jail. And that was just in his block in a month. So many lives are lost to this.
I lived in this area for many years. Stover Park is shale rock, no "real" caves in shale, only shelter caves. The Doans had many hide outs. There are people studying their history in the area. One true cave was recently dug back open. Do not ask where, as it is on private land and confidential.
Wow I really enjoyed that, what stunning views and those rocky outcrops are really incredible. So pleased you found the cave think you loved that. Thanks so much for taking me along
I know the area well & you did a great job navigating your way around the valley. A couple of the Doans are burried nearby at the Plumstead Friends Meeting Cemetary (outside of the back wall)
At 5:36 right where you are standing, that’s where I caught a 12 inch rainbow trout when I was a kid with my dad. I remember an albino catfish there too. Some dude across the river pulled in a huge catfish. That scenery totally brought me back haha.
Awesome it's always cool to see a place that brings back memories from long ago. Alot of my favorite childhood memories involved fishing with my dad, even after all these years I can still remember exactly where I stood fishing as a kid
You're awesome! I live in Beaver Springs, PA. My mom was always super into treasure hunting and metal detecting when I was growing up. Her and I will go for a treasure hunting adventure soon.
Also a Doan. Do you know your relationship to the Doan Gang? I'm 1st Cousin 10 times removed. I find this all so interesting. There is a new TV show in works on the Doan Gang as well.
Thanks, I loved this place when I was young. I believe the second Doan cave you described as being sealed with a rock is near the Centre Bridge Inn, a few miles south on River Road..
Beautiful place.thank you for the experience of seeing such a beautiful place. Doan gang and their caves sounds like the James gang, if rumors were true and they slept in as many places as said, they wouldn't have had time to rob trains and coaches.
Hi, I’m glad. You found the cave you were looking for. Who knows maybe that little hole is hiding a cloth bag full of silver coins just saying would that not be great?your very interesting and I love your videos .heard you mention RAIN 🌧 on the way . Heck it wouldn’t be Rainsylvania with out near everyday letting off the stuff , Have you ever been to Penn cave and wildlife park? It makes for a nice day my grandson and I spent the day there this past summer we both enjoyed it a lot .
When we were in high school we had a doubled-up rope with knots in it that took up the entire back of a van we would walk up to the high rocks throw it over the edge and put our leather gloves on ready for a fun climb. The rock-climbing guys would tell us we were crazy and we were not well equipped we would always say "what am I going to let go of the Rope" hahaha so young and crazy we where.
There is no shelter cave at High Rocks. I spent years there rock climbing, have seen every inch of that place. It is shale too, only shelter caves with that type of rock. There may be a shelter cave along the trail further down, at the horseshoe bend.
Couple of things: Doan's Cave is not in Ralph Stover SP, it's on Haycock Mt, on private land. I found it over 35 years ago but didn't have the equipment (or knowledge of the history then) to explore it fully. Contact me if you want the exact location and how I know it was Doan's Cave. You'll find it...interesting. To put it mildly. Also, that albino cannibal nonsense wasn't on Haycock Mt, that was on Ghost Mt in nearby Pleasant Valley east of Rt 212. There was indeed a family of albinos living there in the 60's-70's. They were a little weird, but not cannibals. LOL! No more than any other white folks, any way. I was told one of the dogs in the original 'Lassie' TV series is buried up on Ghost Mt. That, I don't know for sure is true. Cool vids, man! Thanks for sharing!
@@mikeb8613 they are 9th generation ancestors of mine. You are all wrong. Try the area around Point Pleasant, they hid out in that area...they knew the area like the back of their hand...Lots of caves.....
Doan gang, 5 brothers 1 cousin and some hanger ons occasionally. 1 was shot, 2 hung, 1 escaped n 2 pardoned. If they buried anything you can bet the survivors dug it up. But ya never know.
From western Pa. Cliff. Discovered your "stuff" on YT. You don' know it but you told 2 stories here. 1st was your narration of this vid. The 2nd was of Sullivan James Burd. Scroll down to ohio yoder toter and read that. Very heartbreaking.
Bucks County's treasure is its rich history. We've got Revolutionary parks, and a lot of colonial history. People should take a weeks vacation and explore our beautiful county.Next time you're in the area go to our ringing rock park. Bring a hammer and tap on the rocks. You'll get a cool sound. Don't beat on them or you might break them
Nah, stay away from Ringing Rocks unless you like being bored to death. Try Nockamixon (know you've been there- go again! It is large.) or even Peace Valley Park (small county park with loads of hidden surprises).
@@porkturtle8321 Nockamixon is good for fishing and hunting. Peace Valley Park is nice too. We have a lot of parks in Bucks county. Hike and fish Tyler State Park, we have Core Creek (Lake Luxembourg), etc. The historic richness and wealth of our county is fantastic.
The area is correct in the 45 acre small park but the location of the old cabin was near the cave which was formed on a bend in the creek near cliffs. If you find the cave, a metal detector can find the buried cache near to this cave.
I love this park, a girl from my highschool jumped to her death here I believe in 2009 or 2010. It was such a tragic day in the community, so confusing why she choose such a brutal way to go. She jumped right off the cliff :'(
Mountains are melted brick buildings. Istanbul not Constantinople.look for star forts the military forts are melted brick they are transforming into stones.
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 I believe its McCaffrey rd past the tohicken pool to lwft on tori rd. Parking area on right. I can show you if you want. Email me karpetguy@comcast.net
After looking at a map. From pa rt 32 head up cafferty rd pass tohicken valley pool park. Make a left on tory. Keep left at the y. Parking is on the right, cliffs are across the street. Rock climbers playground. But I've never seen a cave on the cliffs. Just doans cave. Which isn't much of a cave worth exploring.
@@thedutchman8793 I agree Bats are valuable in Nature I like them and leave them undisturbed they exhaust all their energy if its in reserve by disturbing them Don't Muck with them its their place to live

My 13 year old sister is in rehab right now :(
This story made me cry...why do drugs exist!?!?!
i'm sorry to hear that but with you there for her she will be ok i'm sure and I can't understand why drug's exist myself :-/
Jenny&Brett I know why drugs exist. It's drug abuse I question. My sister shortened her life abusing alcohol and drugs.

bigazyahed i want to know the location
I be interested in searching with he right permisions, I have a couple metal detectors if you want to check it out.
Tell us how you know it was the Doan cave
This is not the location. Go to perkasie talk to the lifelong residents. Also topographical maps you should check out. Old ones.

Thank you for this! I didn't come here to find this but I'm going to have to check it out. We also lost our youngest son to drugs. ;(
I like your video you are good keep up the good work
This place is cool,I should go back tomorrow :)
You're a natural explorer.
The last picture in your video is called practice face. We climb it regularly. Ralph stover has over 200 climbing routes.

Have you been aking elocution lessons? Your diction has noticibly improved, lol, good vid.
As a Geocacher myself, I can attest to the fact that if there are cool places to find, there is probably a Geocache nearby.
Did you ever go to Crystal cave, or Indian echo cave.
Yes I been there, I like both of them. Indian Echo cave is small, but it's awesome.
Sully passed from an OD, :( My thought and prayers are with his family.

what's under the boards?
sump?
Why do you say we might find hidden loot or stolen loot in that area? Is there a story about it? Thanks
I would like to have one person explain how caves form just one.
You have peeked my interest....I want some treasure! Watch out for boobie traps!
Aww he was only 20 :(
Hi, that was a really stunning area, what happened to your new caving hat ???. I thought you might be using it. Thank you, it was a lovely video. x
This video was before I got the new helmet
That would explain why you didn't wear it then lol. Thank you. x
Beautiful place, but hard to call that tiny little thing a cave. But I guess technically it is. Maybe. Ha ha ha

Someone I graduated high school with hung himself there in 01 or 02

At the end of the video.... high rocks..... I rock climbed a lot of that
There was also a kid that fell off the high rocks
There are several caves all up and down the area.
Care to share?

What's a geocache?
Mountains are melted brick buildings. Istanbul not Constantinople.look for star forts the military forts are melted brick they are transforming into stones.
