I knew exactly where you were from the thumbnail. That was always my father's favorite bridge to drive past - he'd comment every time. I wish he were still alive so I could have him watch this video, he would have enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing, and you earned a new sub.
That’s touching, so cool to hear your personal connection with the bridge & your dad! It really is something to behold and looks so cool from the freeway. Hope your dad can watch it from heaven ☁️💙
What city and state is that in
@@24fletchdog It's just shy of the delaware water gap crossing on the NJ side, rte 80.
I'm from jersey I ride on 80 everyday
@@24fletchdog it’s in pa,on the delaware river, search delaware abandoned viaduct pa it should pop up.
"I think we kinda need to be a little bit stealthy here." Tells some random dude he's camping there.
😂😂 He was chill, we talked a lot off camera lol
also uses the brightest light he could find on the tent at night. 🤣
personally if its not urs stay off it.
trespassing is trespassing. sick and tired of entitled people going, doing whatever they want its not urs piss off.
that said i assume he cleaned up after himself? didnt trash the place like so many previous people.
@@NotHappening-b8t lmao.
@@NotHappening-b8t I don't have much to say to your trespassing rant. Although true, its not exactly a major crime. In some parts of the world the right to roam is even protected by law, although the US isn't one of them. There's plenty wrong in this world (and Country) of ours, Wes stealthily camping on an abandoned bridge isn't one of them.
To your comment about cleaning up, however, I have to assume you've watched very few of Wes's videos. He's specifically shown himself leaving "camping" areas better than he found them. I obviously don't know the man in real life, but leaving a mess behind would be completely out of character based on what he's shown us on his channel. I'd bet money he cleaned up after himself, probably after someone else while he was there too.
Respect for just instinctively offering that guy water! Good character.
We're all in this together, might as well help each other out! 💙
the true test of character for the guy is if he water-falled it or drank it with full contact.
@@nicholas-dv1mglol, and a test of YOUR character, depending on how you interpreted waterfall vs full contact!
@@CreeewDeeeTaaay germaphobe here, so i would have most likely just given him a bottle of water if i had a spare plastic one.
@@nicholas-dv1mg Heck yeah! That's even mo' nice. Can't wait to run into you while hiking, and having totally forgotten my wawa bottle 😜
Gratuitous B-29?! WHAT? dope af bruh
Camp inside a gigantic redwood tree in Arcata California at Redwood Park. Trails lead way back and there's plenty of hollow trees to sleep in!
I know right!!
That is a sweet idea, I will definitely plan to do that when I am back on the west coast! Thanks for the suggestion
@@WesWhereverso much for the stealth part you have to film at night but if anyone else is going buy they will see the light 😅you probably made people think that it is haunted now😅😅
Dude, he could totally get his "My Side of the Mountain" on! Great suggestion!! @WesWherever
Wear your pack on the front, in reverse, going down ladders, i used to climb towers and change bulbs. Way easier when weight is balanced and you can maneuver the packin front of you instead of dragging it behind you, possible snag, you would be fucked unless it was in front
Very good tip, thank you!! I actually watch videos of people who do what you did… what an exhilarating job!
That sounds like an awesome job
That has to be a rare coincidence a stealth camping video with an extremely rare warbird of WW2 in it.
Right!! Was so cool to witness ✈️
@@WesWherever Was that a B-29?!
@petemommo9622 Yep, I was like, no way, that's a B-29. Even though the wing geometry looked right, the fuselage loked right, and everything looked right I still found pictures to compare n it to.
Wasn''t paying attention when the B-29 first appeared, but then thought "wait - are there any 4 engined piston prop planes still operating?". Went back to look again and thought "holy F - that's a B-29!!!".
If it was a B-29, it was 1 of 2 that are still airworthy. "Fifi" or "Doc."
G'day to you ! in the '70s I was Homeless and I livid for awhile inside the super structure of a Bridge which was part of the Road System into a City, it was amazingly Warm and Comfortable!
Wow, that sounds really cozy... must have been a blessing in an otherwise uncertain time!
Man I am glad your doing better and can watch TH-cam now,😂
@lonewolfwildernesssurvival9443 what was the funny part?
If stealth camping you should have a red light so you can see but not likely be seen. White light brings bugs and people.
Thanks Jeremy, ended up deciding stealth wouldn’t be too important here after finding the fireworks that people shot off on the bridge. I do have a red light on my headlamp though which I will definitely use for stealth mission 👍👍 Thanks for watching!!
Probably one of the coolest spots ive ever seen someone camp in
Thanks bro, it was definitely one of my favorite trips!!
As an airplane geek, the surprise appearance of the B-29 "Doc" was quite a fun addition to another great video! My FIL is one of the volunteers that get to work on her in Wichita, she's a common sight overhead here. She's been making the rounds in one of her History Restored tours. On another note, I just found your channel today and have been loving the videos. Keep up the great work!
So cool!! Must be such a privilege to work on Doc... glad you are enjoying the adventures!
Judging from the massive amount of graffiti, it's surprising you didn't have any unwanted guests during the night. LOL
He likely got there early in the morning and shot the scenes in reverse order then right after sunset shot the one "night" scene then packed up and left. TH-cam is very edited
I lived right down the road from the bridge 30 or so years ago and used to go there a lot. My son was 6 or 7 and he thought it was the greatest place in the world to explore. So many great memories!
That's sweet, what a cool connection... glad this video found its way to a local. Hope you were able to relive some of the memories a little bit 😊
Where is this?
3:35 DO YOU KNOW WHAT FLEW OVER YOU?????!!!!! That was 1 of 2 airworthy B-29's in the whole world!!!! In all likelihood, you will NEVER see that again by chance!!!!
We used to ride that bridge with quads and dirtbikes as kids in the early 2000’s. That trail went for many miles, then the state put fencing which always was torn down, and ultimately put concrete barriers at the end. I moved from that area a long time ago, but knew where you were before even clicking on the video, alot of good childhood memories made in that area.
im loving how dynamic the locations are wes, Im confident your content will reach far
Thanks J, glad you’re still enjoying the adventures!! 🏕️
Dang! Was that a B-29 bomber?
One of the only 2 flight worthy B-29s left in existence!! It’s named “Doc” and is currently conducting flights out of Allentown, PA ✈️
Nice catch ✈️
Quick-draw
@@WesWherever Yes , it was here for only three days stationed temporarily at (AEB) Lehigh Valley International . It was flying right over my home . So beautiful and at the very same time how horrible . They were the aircraft platform designed mainly for dropping the Nukes .
Great video mate,what an utter bonus to film a B-29 super fortress flying over!!!
@@timc333
nukes arent real
wake up already
That bridge is known to locals as "Alice". It was given that name because of the manholes and tunnels. The manholes were compared to the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland
So cool! I have a family member named Alice who will appreciate that haha
Where is it. Looks like an apartment block for homeless people.
6:20 The idea of stealth camping in a spot like this sounds so cool except for EXACTLY this. The idea of bumping into someone else in a place like that is terrifying.
Just discovered this channel. As long as you don’t end up killing your self doing these types of videos I know you are going to go far in subscribers. This is insane content and now I’m gonna binge it all!
Thanks for the encouragement, and I will definitely make sure to be safe! Hope you enjoy the adventures 🏕️🏕️
Well I own this land and bridge. And if a person kills themselves from seeing this illegal video. This kid will be sued for everything he owns. The man holes will be covered and sealed.
@@musclerussell8109 you don’t own it. You are just another TH-camr trying to get a view of his channel. I see you have a few videos up about exploring so don’t try to snake his subs
Casual B29!! Worth it just to see that.
Yikes, that’s not for me. I hate heights😧 Nice one Wes👍
I know, I definitely got that funny feeling in my feet several times when close to the edge 😳 Thanks again for watching!
You can also add Beans and/or Onions to the "Skyline Chili" that you had for dinner and serve it over cooked spaghetti for the full Cincinnati-Style Chili experience.
Decided to have it 1-way 😂😂 In hindsight, I probably should have tried to have it 3-way at least, but it was still good! Thanks for watching
I'm only about 25 minutes from that bridge in a couple of areas. Every time I drive under that viaduct, it amazes me the skill of the workers and designers. I shot some drone footage of it but need to grab more. Safe travels to you!
Wow...what a cool bridge to explore ..
Now I could spend some time in a spot like that!
Multiple camping trips!
Thanks for watching, Hank. Yes it was such a cool experience! Really want to return with my fishing rod next time 🎣
In the future, you might consider using paracord to assist with the backpack. To lower it and to throw over a branch or other supporting structure to raise the backpack.
Thanks Victor, that’s a really good idea! I will make sure to pick some up for future adventures 🏕️
@@WesWherever Great, one other thing, you will need a weighted object on the end. Like a fishing weight.
Really enjoyed this, amazing spot! I’ve been eyeing a similar spot for my channel but it’s nothing as sweet as this location. 👏👏👏
Yeah this spot was really fun, glad you enjoyed!! You got some cool looking content keep up the good work 💪🏕️
Like the other person previously said as soon as i saw the bridge i knew where this was. Great video you've gained another subscriber. Nice to see something local.
That's so cool, glad the video found its way to you!! Got a few more adventures in PA & NJ on the way 😉
Greetings from Hungary! 😊
Cheers from across the pond! 🇺🇸🍻🇭🇺 Thanks for watching!
I'm from Scotland and new to the camping and exploring scene but watched a few of your vids and have now subscribed, keep up the good content
Thanks, Kyle!! Trying my best to make my videos accessible to everyone, outdoorsy or not 😉 Cheers from across the pond! 🏴🍻🇺🇸
This is so awesome!! Great video brother! How was the spook factor on the bridge at night?
Thanks again Bug, glad you enjoyed! It was pretty eery when I turned all the lights off, and there was only one way in or out 😳
You should camp the Buffalo river in northern Arkansas beautiful area with great camping anywhere on the river.
Sounds perfect... I will certainly check it out when I am in AR! Looks very scenic from the photos I was able to find 😍
I’ve watched like 10 of these videos all such quality amazing content thank you
That means a lot... appreciate you watching, Cam!!
Right after watching this video I drove under the same bridge on I-80
I canoed and kayaked many times under that bridge, caught a lot of fish too. I got a camper about 3 miles downstream from there on the Jersey side. The river runs right along the campground.
Sounds amazing, I definitely wanna come back and fish! Going to be kayak fishing in the next episode… really looking forward to it 🎣🛶
@@WesWherever, Those rapids under that bridge are a bit hairy, make sure to have your vest on.. And if you go down to Belvidere their are another set of rapids called foul rift. Look them up, heaviest set of rapids on the whole Delaware..
Stumbled on your channel and after I watched this video I subscribed to follow you along on your journey. Have fun stay safe.
Really appreciate your support, hope you enjoy the adventures!! 🏕️
Great content mate! Keep up the good work. Best wishes from Australia
Thanks, Corey!! 👋💙🇦🇺
Stealth camping and abandoned places... two of my favorites in one.
Looks like a storm/hurricane proof campsite. 😊
True, as long as it's not too windy!!
there’s the old PA turnpike tunnel though apatchy mountains in the west of pa, heard it’s cool. has a top part for the airway people get into, it’s dry they told me
In the works 😉
Great location, and excellent hot sauce choice. If you come through Texas and want some company let me know!
Thanks again, Guzzi!! Dang, I already headed through Texas - drove about 10 hrs that day on I-40 from Albuquerque to Tulsa. I made sure to stop at Whataburger in Amarillo 😋 I will let ya know if I’m ever down in your neck of the woods again. May I ask what part of Texas?
The Paulinskill viaduct was also constructed that year and is much taller. I think you might be mixed up with it. That said I've been to both, they look similar and are both amazing to explore!
First time here, right on.
I used to stealth-camp all the time back when I was Homeless. Yeah- would be a hecka good place for an overnight post, but no snark- I'd take a lot of water, because it looks like its windy af. 🎉
Thanks for watching bro!!
Look up Crowder Mountain in North Carolina. I believe there's a campground you have to hike to. Also, if you climb the mountain go past the sign stating people have died past this point. The view is amazing!!
Wow, just looked it up and it looks gorgeous! I'm not sure if I'll make it that far down south on this trip, but I will definitely plan to check that out at some point! Pretty gnarly sign too, that would probably make for some interesting content 😳
Idea for camping, cajon pass under the train bridge by the stream, thanks
Very cool idea, thanks Brian! I bet it would be fun to do during some rain too 🤔
So you say you want to be stealthy and not fish with a rod, yet you have a bright ass light on at night on a completely abandoned bridge with no lights.
Looks like you're in Pennsylvania if you are go check out the abandoned turnpike
Thanks Joseph, that looks super cool! If it fits into the travel schedule, I will definitely check it out!
Camp under the high bridge on the st croix River. Need a boat. Canoe does just fine. Good fishing and a cool not popular spot on the river.
Thanks for the idea Mitch, I do plan on going through WI/MN so that could really be fun. That's the railroad bridge, right?
i only live an hour a few minutes away from there i’m gonna try to get there this summer at some point
Sweet, yeah it's such a cool spot! Do be safe 🙏
Another cool place you can check out while in pa is called 1000 steps. Theres an old abandoned garage or train station right at the top to the side. Very cool spot. Somewhere i thought of camping at.
That looks so cool, thanks for the tip!!
Im from PA but ive been here with some of my friends to smoke! Tbh the ladder down is the scariest part
Yeah holding on for dear life 💀 Cool you could appreciate this vid as a local! Thanks for watching
Nice! Keep in mind us Texans make the best Bowl of Red....after our chili you won't wanna do anything but take a nap.lol
Oh man, on my way out here I passed through Texas briefly (Amarillo on I-40) and stopped at Whataburger. You're making me think I should have tried some chili instead! 😋
Hi Wes! Cool video! Welcome to eastern U.S.! 😀 I can't wait to see your upcoming videos! Stay safe!🙏♥️
Thank you Suzanne, glad to be here! Thanks for your continued support, glad you are enjoying the adventures 😊 Can't wait to share everything to come!!
Dude, you are awesome! Such a great and positive energy and spirit, and so enjoyable to watch. Happy new subscriber!😊👍😊
Thank you so much, that means a lot!! Trying my best to share positive and meaningful adventures 🏕️ Glad you appreciate it 😊
New subscriber here, great videos, similar to Steve Wallis videos but with more interesting destinations. It would be great if you could put some description of the destination where you are in the video so that those of us who don't have the opportunity to go there can at least look at it on google maps.
Greetings from EU Croatia.
Appreciate that man, glad you are enjoying! Steve is a huge inspiration of mine 💪 I am careful not to publicize the spots to avoid them being overrun and then regulated. But this spot is the Delaware River Viaduct 🤫 Cheers from across the pond!! 🇺🇸🍻🇭🇷
Passed that bridge many times going fishing. its a shame theyre letting it rot away. im surprised there wasn't any patrols normally its very heavily patrolled area
There are actually plans to restore the railway from NYC to Scranton, so we may see this bridge in use again one day!
short and sweet, i like it brother. a sub and a like, thank the algorithm.
Really appreciate that Scott, glad you enjoyed!!
Loved the video bud, really interesting and good content, I love these sort of videos, keep it up man, I subscribed too, watching from Ireland keep up the good work 👌
Thanks so much Adam, greetings from across the pond!! 🇮🇪🇺🇸
1:00 I commend you for identifying and labeling (including Latin/scientific name) some neat incidental organism you featured. Lots of videos like this have random shots of lively flora and fauna and make no attempt to educate on what they are showing.
So glad you appreciate it. Hard for me to see something cool like that and not try and research it! Then of course I wanna share it with the audience 😉 Thanks for watching
Algorithm has brought me here, subscribed. Also great seeing Cincinnati chili being appreciated, as a native it's rare to see it outside of the area!
Thanks for your support!! I have had Skyline a few times and recently found out about Gold Star and am curious how it compares 🤔
Its like a younger version of Steve. Good content.
I love Steve and his content, he’s definitely a huge inspiration for me! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed 😊
Really cool share! Awesome
Thanks man, appreciate you watching!
@@WesWherever you are most welcome!
Awesome spot
Nice video and great adventure mate
Thanks Gabriel, so glad you enjoyed!! 😊
On the ol' Lackawanna main!
Yep 👍👍 Heard they are bringing it back, will be cool to ride someday!
Yo! Thats an amazing content! Dont like the scary sounds you are putting in sometimes though xD
And yeah sleeping on hard surfaces sometimes is benefitial, but the cold from the concrete can get into your tissue/bones very fast, and the results of it are quite nasty.
Happy I've discovered your channel! Cheers from Ukraine!
Thanks Andrew, yeah I had a bit of fun with the scary ambient noises this video 😂 Definitely wouldn't sleep on concrete again, but thankful it worked out this time! Hello Ukraine!! 🇺🇦💙
Get ur butt to northern Maine on the west branch of the Penobscot River and have a real fishing adventure in serious deep woods man
Sounds amazing!! I do plan to head up to New England, hopefully all the way to Maine 🤞🤞
Interesting spot. If you get a chance try some Manning's frozen brick chili. You'd probably have to cook it at home . But it's good stuff. Not sure where all it's available but traveling through the Midwest look in the grocery stores. Might have it in the area where you are. Excellent on chili dogs.
Thanks again for watching, David! I am a sucker for some good chili, so I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for that brand 🥩🫘🌭
@@WesWherever think you'll like it. Tastes like the chili that old time drive in restaurants used to have. It's regional sales I believe. Mainly in the Midwest states. But not completely certain about that. Anyway if you see some check it out. Happy trails.
Great idea to travel!! I don’t know if there is still a way in, but Centralia (PA) is very fascinating. Sad about the mine fires but very cool and eerie!
Thanks Mel, very interesting idea to check out Centralia! I want to do a couple more adventures in PA while I’m still here, so I may have to go check it out there 🤔
My first time watching your video and I love this video 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Anthony, glad you enjoyed!! 😊
awesome video
How funny would it be to be rafting down the river approaching the viaduct, and you see a fish just rise up out of the water and ascend towards the sky...
Hahahaha maybe I gotta go back and prank someone like that 🐟🪽
Might have tried tying a rope to the top rung of the ladder then tie the other end to one of those side posts- I always have a bit of rope for outings like this- you found your way down though, nifty spot! :D
Definitely will carry rope from here on out, learned a good lesson this trip! Thanks for watching 😊
Omg I'm a bad sleeper , I would roll off the bridge having a nightmare 😂😂😂
Not gonna lie, I thought about that being a possibility and it scared me a little 😂
@@WesWherever 🤣
Went in here one night in high school cool experience now I drive under it everyday for work
Not far from my go-kart park lol very cool I’ve been up on that bridge to do photoshoots with friends always interesting
Cool that you stumbled upon this and recognized it! Thanks for watching 👍👍
❤🤍💙 Love ❤️🤍💙 This!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!! 🏕️🏕️
My back is so jacked, I sleep on the floor exclusively now. A regular bed will mess me up.
Sorry to hear, but yeah floor sleeping is really under appreciated!
Very cool videos 🤗
great video as always. Id be willing to watch longer videos as well, if you have been wondering if people would or not
Thanks again for watching! Trying to make them as long as I can without sacrificing quality 👍👍 glad you enjoyed
People can call it graffiti if they want, but to me it's vandalism pure and simple and it just really ruins my enjoyment of so many of your cool videos.
This looks so much like one of the bridge near Reading PA. The one on the bike trail! Is it??
I know right, looks almost identical! This one is on the Delaware River near I-80
@@WesWherever I’m glad you knew what I was talking about haha. Gotcha! Thanks for the answer man. Love your videos!
Hoosac tunnel, Florida Massachusetts 👍 ⛺️
Wow, looks really long (and risky with active trains running through it)!
I live in central Ohio so my monthly “fix” is to go to my local Skyline Chili emporium and gnash on a Cheese Cony and a 5-way. Then wash it down with a diet Dr Pepper. Probably not all that health but sure hits the spot!
Ahhhhh I wish we had them in California, but I would probably be going way too often 😂
Just subscribed - good content!
Thanks Kris, hope you enjoy the adventures!! 🏕️
Enjoy ❤
Thanks, friend!
lol imagine pulling up a fish 60 ft :D
I know right?! Maybe I gotta go back with my rod 🎣
3:35 The restored B-29 named "Doc" flies over ....
Wesley you poor young man I will have to make you some real chili because that skyline stuff is just awful. I went into one of their restaurants once I ordered their chili I had no idea it would come on top of spaghetti I looked at it I tried it I pushed it to the side in order to hot dog.
Hahahaha I know yours is the bomb, but I still enjoy the Skyline chili 😋 I’ll have to take you up on your offer though 🥩🫘🌶️
Delaware water gap viaduct every kid in my town comes here to hangout and graffiti
Yeah that would be cool to live near it, you would catch me hanging out there a lot
If you like this 1908 DL&W viaduct, go see the immense 1915 Tunkhannock Creek Viaduct (also known as the Nicholson Bridge and the Tunkhannock Viaduct) 70 miles away.
It is a concrete deck arch bridge on the Nicholson Cutoff rail line segment of the DL&W and spans Tunkhannock Creek in Nicholson, Pennsylvania.
Measuring 2,375 feet (724 m) long and towering 240 feet (73.15 m) when measured from the creek bed (300 feet (91.44 m) from bedrock), it was the largest concrete structure in the world when completed in 1915 and still merited "the title of largest concrete bridge in America, if not the world" 50 years later.
So cool! I was just visiting my grandparents who live maybe 10 minutes away from that bridge (but I had no idea it was there until you mentioned it). Thanks for the tip!
Steve Wallis would be proud.
He is a huge inspiration to me, hope I make him proud 🥲
One cool adventufe
Thanks, Steven!!
Sick video bro just found your channel, I can't wait to see the future adventures !
Thanks bro, hope you enjoy everything to come!! 🏕️
Epic Video...
Thanks bro, keep up the good work yourself!! 🎣😉
My man stepped right out of the 60's with that Afro. 😂😂
What a unique and amazing spot for an overnighter.
😊 Thanks for watching!!
Claustrophobia would drive me bonkers!!!!!
Yeah it got really tight, especially crawling from one chamber to another! 😬
This reminds me of the spot in Dark Souls where you can cheese the dragon by shooting its tail with arrows to get the drake sword.
Aaaaand I’m a new subscriber wtf only 1.8k is crazy your quality and videography skill is amazing bro 😮💨🔥 glad to say I’m an early supporter
That means a lot... thanks Jayce, and welcome aboard!!
Top tier content. I never watch longer stuff besides mr beast. Post more ❤ done shots are nice. If your ever in dallas ill show you some tunnels that go miles under the city
Thanks so much, that means a lot!! Just filmed another fun one that I hope to have out Wed/Thu. I will definitely hit you up if I’m in Dallas, tunnels sound cool!
