Exploring the Apocalyptic ABANDONED Pennsylvania Turnpike - 13 Miles of Decay
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มี.ค. 2024
- The desolate and abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike is a 13 mile stretch of road constructed in 1940 to help the flow of automobiles through the Appalachian Mountains. Using already dynamite blasted mountain tunnels previously constructed from a never completed railroad line, the Turnpike went through a total of 7 Mountains. The closure of the Turnpike was decided when too many delays were happening as a result of the automotive industry boom, and the road closed permanently closed in 1968. Since the closure, the road had seen many purposes in both Film, and the Military. A 2009 Movie titled "The Road" directed by Viggo Mortensen, follows a father and son while they travel America in a post apocalyptic future. The military also utilized this large stretch pf road for both storage for aircrafts on the road, and vehicle storage inside the vacant tunnel system. The road was also used for training troops for Iraq in the early 2000s. Now, the overgrown road has 2 Tunnels abandoned along with it, leaving behind a very post apocalyptic environment, we will be learning the history as we travel this long forgotten road. if you enjoy the video, leave a thumbs up and subscribe for more exploring and abandoned content!
thanks for watching! have a good day !

Hopefully you guys are into this forgotten road as much as i am, Wandering down miles of overgrown road is something you'd have to experience to believe, a true feeling of being the last person on Earth.
Make sure to stay till the end of the video, we will also be exploring the neighboring ghost town, and we'll see how the closure of the Pennsylvania Turnpike affected a local economy. We'll be checking out abandoned houses, hotels, diners and gas stations all closed because of the rerouted interstate system. This place has a ton to take in, both visually and with its history!
if you enjoy the ghost town and Turnpike, leave a thumbs up, and I hope to see you next time !
Very cool! Liked and subbed.
The Road wasn't directed by Viggo Mortensen, he just starred in it and might have been an executive producer. It was actually directed by John Hillcoat, a dude who used to direct Depeche Mode music videos.
The tunnel is used by chip ganassi racing not the military
@@joshc63111 He said it was used by the military in the past, not now.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 yeah i dont think, the pa dot used it for testing new road compounds and paint for a long time. Than leased the tunnel just off mile maker 100 i think on the pa turn pike to chip ganassi racing for development of his team.
We drove the Old Pennsylvania Turnpike, through all the tunnels, in the later 1950’s and early 60’s, during summer trips between New Jersey, and South Dakota where our relatives lived.
What a memory from long ago, to see this! Thank you!
Me too!
Fun fact: this tunnel can be seen at the start of the "Death Toll" campaign in Left 4 Dead 1.
Love some Left 4 Dead, the beginning of the golden age of gaming
I’m gonna leave such a boomer, but whatever 😂 doesn’t it make anyone else sad that this vista is only known really from a video game not from actually being there in real life?
On of the best campaigns
@@kateapple1 Not really. It's not exactly a tourist hotspot to be well-known.
@@kateapple1Bahahaha Boomer is a special infected in L4D.
So fun facts. I live 10 minutes from there.
The hotel with the collapsed roof looks that way because it caught fire a few years back. My wife, and mother in law cleaned there probably 20 years ago.
The blue gas station was owned by my cousin's grandparents when I was a kid. We used to hang out there a lot. The silver dinner was a 70s themed Denny's style restaurant
The empty lot across the road by the the days inn was a Hardee's that also burnt down.
In the late 90s my cousins and I filmed a Star wars fan film at the tunnel entrance that was played in several other countries during film festivals
Is the fan film online anywhere?
I’m actually curious about this as well
gonna reply so i get a noti if we get an update on this fan film .......... i just read your name and im hoping youre not all full of bs lol
Haha show us the film!
Where could I find it on Google maps?
I’m 71 and traveled between Chicago and the east coast as a child many times. One of the routes we took was on the Penn Turnpike through Tuscarora & Allegheny Mountain in those tunnels. My other favorite path was on the old West Virginia turnpike. There were only two or three lanes and several tunnels back then. We would overnight in Charleston WV and the morning drive in fog was always an adventure. Thanks for the memories!
The WV Turnpike between Cheylan and Mossy is just like you would have remember. They merely added 2 lanes to the existing 2 lanes separated only by a concrete barrier. The only modernized section on this part, was the bypass of the Memorial tunnel.
I haven't thought about the old turnpike in 40 years. Thanks.
I’ve been to the old turnpike many times still go to this day for some things I’m in Parkersburg :) god blesss ya sir
I have fond memories of traveling the PA turnpike in the 60s & 70s. We often stopped at the many Howard Johnson restaurants that were along that route. I wish they were still there. So nostalgic.
Same childhood many times every year. Philly to Chicago to St Louis and back.
"Heaven for fans of abandonment and modern ruins." Well-stated, dude. Pleasure seeing this place again. ty

There are some inaccuracies in your presentation. I am not making these comments to be negative, to offend you, or to disparage your very entertaining video. These comments are being made to assist you in being more accurate, which I would think you would want to be. So, here goes. First, this section of the Turnpike was bypassed by the new section of road that can be seen and heard during parts of your presentation. It was done for safety and to bring the road up to modern standards. The first tunnel you went through, is called Rays Hill. At 14' 4" of height, it is not up to modern interstate highway standards (which are now 18' minimally). It is about 3500 feet in length (about 6/10ths of a mile). The early tunnels, built around 1940, had two-way travel. This was eliminated for many reasons, danger being one of them. All of the tunnels on the turnpike are one-way travel now. The town of Breezewood was not appreciably affected by the abandonment of this section of road. It is a rural area of Bedford County, so it was never a wealthy or cosmopolitan place. However, the Turnpike still exists and was never not operational there, after 1940. Breezewood is an important interchange, where I-70 splits off from the Turnpike (West of there, to New Stanton, the Turnpike is actually I-70 and I-76 running together). The Breezewood Interchange is heavily used. To take I-70 (to Baltimore and Washington, DC), drivers have to exit the Turnpike and drive into Breezewood to get to it. Because of this, there are numerous services for travelers in Breezewood. If anything, the services in the area has grown in recent times. This is an interesting video that I enjoyed watching. I hope my comments have helped you.
Thanks for your comment and the time you put in to help shed light on this. I found your information along with his very informative. I just drove out on the turnpike from Philadelphia all the way to Ohio to watch the eclipse so it's very relevant to me. Thanks again
@@Chris-of6xm Most welcome. Glad you had a safe trip.
I feel we should also elaborate on the fact that this is now used by the US Park service and is part of the rails to trail system and is accessible to the public for use as bike riding when not visited in the fall or winter. During the warmer months of the year it is extremely active with cyclist and pedestrians and hikers. It is still used by the army for training purposes and for testing purposes... As was stated by The Fulton county chamber of commerce this area of Bedford county which I am originally from was always rural the town of Breezewood aka the city of hotels is literally as big as that little piece that you see it is three stop lights that span 3/4 of 1 mile... Breezewood has grown a great deal since this time and has declined again due to covid and generational changes. I feel like it should be stated too that when parked if you parked in the correct area when you film this video there are actually signs directing you to the tunnel. It was actually a favored spot growing up. There is some beautiful graffiti art throughout the tunnel and some amazing views of the Everett valley on the other side. Also what you're stating as being an entry ramp is the service entrance for the old Howard Johnson's restaurant that used to be at that spot that is not the entrance to the highway itself nor was it ever
That local interstate that you are pointing out in the video is the Pennsylvania turnpike...
@@bockhouse wow more great info! I'm going to have to visit to view the Everett valley after the tunnel. Thanks for posting
Also just as a word of caution if you do stay there overnight you need to ensure that you have some kind of weapon as you are in the mountains of Pennsylvania and there are bobcats coyotes and much as the game commission would like to tell you there are no mountain lions... there are. Friend just bagged one a couple weeks ago just 15 miles west on Wills mountain... Make sure you stay safe!
It's amazing how a road that closed 56 years ago is in better shape than the currently maintained roads in the tri-state area.
Lol
Well partly thats cause no ones driven on it since closed.
Tends to happen when nobody uses the road
We got ourselves a genius in the making here, lol.
@@eternalgamers10 we got a Fullbright Scholar with this one lol
Everyone in the comments is so right, you are very unique. There are many other channels who do what you do but you bring a gentle, compassionate, informative take to every video. I would probably watch a video of yours if you just walked down the sidewalk of a street! Very calming. The world needs more people like you! ❤️
I appreciate your words :) Thank you
PA resident here. There are a lot of modern ruins scattered around the state. A lot of them are industrial revolution era relics of the past(older than this spot). I've spent many weekends exploring these places and learning about their history, including this one. I have mountain biked this place a few times. Loved your video.
one of my favorite aspects of PA is the exploration it offers
Just moved from New Jersey but I can tell you there's a lot of those places there as well.
the old stone iron furnaces and my father told us kids about the beehive coke furnaces that used to ring Uniontown.
@@hreindustriesone of the only positives is exploring and stuff looking cool Pa blows i lived here all my life lol. I also live where oil was discovered then they ran the town into the ground and left lol
@@MikeMovesPLK once you live in MD you realize it aint so bad
Just wanted to say I'm from UK and live in South CA. This is the kind of history that I like to see. The everyday history not cowboys or wars. Take care and thank you 😊😊
I went through that tunnel going from Chicago and heading to New Jersey with my parents when I was a toddler but remember nothing... but I was there!
... So, thanks for showing it! I must have gone through the other tunnels as well. That tunnel could still be used in cases of national emergency or other future issues. Please return and explore the other tunnels in the future if you can!
That nice house shown at 10:00 would be perfect! On a deserted road so no loud traffic going by, no close neighbors to disturb the peace, lots of space. Just what I've always wanted but was never lucky enough to acquire something like that. A very sweet setup for sure!
Imagine the power goes out and you have to pay $100k to fix it hahaha no thank you 🌈
@@robertschnobert9090 You're just paranoid and you see tragedy everywhere. You've got to think positive!
@@robertschnobert9090Put in solar.
squatters
Seems to me I can still hear the hum of traffic in the background from the nearby highway as he passes this inhabited White House. Not exactly peace and quiet.
I love your attitude about how older places, things, etc. have something "more". Keep doing what you do. It's nice to watch you especially knowing you appreciate it.
Great job. Another slice of forgotten America. Thanks for taking us along.
As a Pennsylvanian, thx k you for showing this to the world. It’s an amazing, original, unique and place to be able to visit.
You are the reason why I'm glad TH-cam exists. This video appeared on my page 30 minutes ago, and I'm able to say you did a great job. Everything about this (production, narrative) is compelling and well worth the time.
Ultimate compliment. Thank you !
I worked as a visual effects artist on the movie, “The Road”. Seeing your video brought me back to working on scenes that were filmed there. Some of my shots in the film were adding a large billboard (where there was none), on the side of the road. Plus, other scenes. Nice job on your video.
That's cool. Was that the one that had the quote from Jeremiah on it
Exactly. I’m surprised you remember it. Those shots go by very quickly. Originally, there were more shots at that location with some dialogue between Viggo and the son, but the director cut that stuff out to shorten the running time.
Finally getting to watch this. Really enjoy when you add the news and clips from the past. Thanks for another great explore buddy.
Glad you enjoyed ! It was really fun finding those clips and comparing then and now ! Thanks as always Brad
What I remember about the Pennsylvania Turnpike is that my family took a trip from Indianapolis Indiana across Ohio, then Pennsylvania and over to Washington DC in 1962 and part of our trip east was on the turnpike - I remember it as a four lane highway with cement walls on either side for several miles so there was no site seeing in that section.
I hope you understand that you are no longer just a TH-camr. You are a filmmaker, sir. That was awesome.
Agreed!
Double agreed! 😎
Very interesting
It's baffling how some individuals can leave litter behind. The Boy Scouts once had a motto: "Always leave the place cleaner than you found it." Yet, it only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch. I enjoyed the video, and God bless.
The motto has been "Be prepared" since 1907.
Seen this on various channels, but you make each video your own. I really enjoyed coming along for the journey. The history at the start was also very interesting and informative.
Great work.
I think we all crave real and raw emotion. That is what you bring and it is so cool. Thank You!!
I am from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and you taught me something new!
Same here ,…. So this area is near breezewood .???
Your personality is the perfect kind to be an explorer of this era of abandoned urban infrastructure. 10/10. looking forward to more of your uploads. stay safe exploring these abandoned places and delivering them to the world.
The juxtaposition of the past with the present, by overlaying the vintage clips of the turnpike with the road as it exists now, is awesome. It makes the visual tour like an archeological dig, where one uncovers an artifact! Great stuff!
I like watching videos from days gone by. I am not sure, but I believe we went through that tunnel back in 1964. It grieves me to see old roads and rail lines lost to time. When I was a kid, most of our family went to New Jersey to see some friends of the family, we went there in our New 1964 Plymouth 4 door Valiant. I also remember there was a town we went through as the turnpike was not finished as of yet, and the was a place that had a huge Paul Bunion and inside they had a huge train display, but we didn't go in to see it.
I have a saying,
Nothing Stays the Same and Nothing Lasts forever
These outdoors explores are my favorite ones, keep it up!
same here
I live in Pennsylvania, not too far from these tunnels. You definitely should make a couple days out of this location again, to do the other tunnels, when our Pennsylvania weather finally breaks and stays warm. Loved watching it from your point of view. 😀😀
I might pack some camping gear and jump on a bicycle to explore the rest. That'd be cool ! I'd make sure to document of course
@@DarkExploration I think I’d pretty dope to camp out there for a day or 2. Def looking for a return trip video. I’ll be keeping an eye out for a video. 😁
Which town is this?
@@louds10Breezewood
I’m little over an hour drive from here! Will be making a few trips to the tunnels with the RC’s this spring!!👍🏼 thanks for the preview!!😁🤙🏼
I love seeing older America like this..... it's pure AMERICANA. U got me as a SUBSCRIBER.
Your videos are so great because you are respectful, you never break or take anything. I really like how you explain the history of the places you visit. It adds context to what we see in the video and makes these places come alive!
Those abandoned stores are unfortunatly a sign of the times. We're seeing it all over the country now. Ive traveled this country many decades ago and ive never seen it as bad as it is now. Ive enjoyed your video immensly. Hope to see more.
Hey, Build Back Better baby!
@@michaelnazaruk4100Stuff like that takes time. Can’t do it in 3 years that’s for sure.
I really love your passion for old historic sites and architecture, which sets your videos apart from others. You let it speak for itself, which had drawn me to keep coming back. Any video you put out, we will love. Keep it up!
I’ve just stumbled across your video and found it very easy to sit through to the end. Your editing, filming and commentary are wonderful. I really like your demeanour too, I think it’s special when people recognise small details, like how you noticed that handle warmer in that small house. And your thoughtfulness of those that lived there before.
I’m looking forward to watching through more of your videos and seeing your future uploads. I live in England and there’s not a whole lot going on here. Without videos like yours, I would never get to see these beautiful abandoned areas and structures that exist out there in the world. Thank you!
Things like this are always so interesting to see, especially when they're from the 50s-60s, because it's like entire chapters of relatively modern history and ingenuity are just gone. Like at the time this was a pretty groundbreaking thing, and now it's just another part of human history lost to time.
You gotta keep this up man, fantastic work.
It's older than that
I absolutely love nostalgia, especially anything having to do with transportation in the 40's, 50's, and 60's. You can color me weird if you want, but it brings a tear to my eye when I think of all the people back then, loading up the kids and luggage into the family car and going on a vacation trip, riding on the great Pennsylvania Turnpike, going through those amazing tunnels, stopping at the rest areas to gas up, and of course, to get some eats and treats at Howard Johnsons! So, how can I visualize all of this? Because I lived it as a young boy....
Without fail you churn out terrific pieces, thank you very much.
I remember the PA turnpike from back in the day. My family traveled this route from Michigan to Fredericktown, PA. Where my grandparents lived: it took us 12 to 14 hours but I loved it. Thanks for showing this film and for being very informative and patient in your filming and story telling. I hope you don’t stop.
likewise, my brothers, parents, and I went through these tunnels in the same same era from Michigan to Uniontown and Northampton PA!! those days will never come back!
Yes from the movie The Road!! I recognized it immediately.
Good dark movie and followed the book very closely
Thank you so much for this video. My aunt and uncle used to live in Ft. Thomas, KY and we visited them at least twice down from RI. As a child born in 1955, this was the primary way to go at the time. I was a little tyke and fascinated by this stretch of the trip down to Kentucky. It must have been in the sixties. I used to positively scream at each tunnel entrance, a subject of conversation for my parents. Thanks again!
Very Cool Video! Thanks For Taking Us On This Adventure With You!!
Yesss love this ! Worked hard this week, this video is a whole zen vibe for me ! Great way to end my hard work week with cancer patients and their journey ! Thank you !
Upload everything! No regrets
Thank you so much for this.. as a kid early 90s my dad would talk about these roads and tunnels.. traveled the new roads so many times
Great explore! So sad that the area faltered. Thanks for taking us along with you!
You give the impression that Breezewood's decline began when the turnpike built the new section around the 13 mile stretch in your video. Breezewood, as it's known today, only built up after I-70 was built in the late 60's and was forced to connect to the Turnpike via State Route 30. It became a giant rest stop for anyone traveling on I-70. It's one of only two spots on 2 digit Interstate highways that have traffic lights.
Yeah, we travel through here a couple times each year on the way to my parent's house. The area is economically depressed, but the "abandonment" of the turnpike isn't the reason. There is a big 4 lane turnpike less than 2 miles away. Yes Breezewood has abandoned buildings, but most of them were built after the turnpike was rerouted.
He should interview some locals and lay off the drama. I'm guessing that 13 mile stretch was only temporary while they completed the real turnpike? Driven through Breezewood many times, getting to and from 70. Do you know if that burnt hotel burned down on it's own or did it just go out of business and the fire department used it for training purposes?
@@craigdarby9533 This was the'real turnpike'. The turnpike authority re-routed the roadway to bypass some of the tunnels or added new parallel tunnels for travel in both directions.
@@DyreStraitsThe original Turnpike alignment followed the abandoned Carnegie Railroad right of way. They have worked hard to eliminate sections with high accident numbers, like the eastern approach to the Allegheny Mountain tunnel and Rattlesnake Mountain.
Really enjoyed this video. You really have a talent for speaking and narrating your adventures. Thank you for taking us along. ❤
I love your videos! I appreciate how you try and find historical information on locations you visit. It's so interesting to see how many places are just left behind and forgotten...kinda sad really
This was an excellent episode. Whole family loved it. Thank you!
This video was nicely done. A nice touch to include the old news reel footage. Well presented,felt as if I was there with you. As an aside, I have a vague memory of traveling this highway as a young child. I can remember a tunnel entrance as we approached. We were going to Ohio from Delaware to visit relatives.Thanks for filling in missing pieces of the past for me. Well done sir!!
On the channel of post10 you can see him visiting these tunnels also (numerous times). Also the ventilation system on top of it. Great work from you as always!
That's what I was going to say as well
This is a good video. You got an Intro, eerie music to set the mood, laying down the premise for the video, and then walking down on it and giving nuggets of information.
This is by far my favorite video that you've done so far❤❤
Yes, please do an overnight in that tunnel sometime! I would watch for sure. 👍
Staying overnight is prohibited. In an effort to be extra respectful, no one should do that. Besides it's not really safe.
@@ZebraContentThanks Tunnel Police!
I pass through Breezwood a couple times each month for work and always think about stopping and checking the abandoned highway out. Might do it this summer when it's a bit warmer. Definitely want to bike it. Always been facinated with the history, starting with it being a railroad that never was. I've been going through Breezwood for the last 15 years and have seen its decline. Hotels that have closed up and have been demolished or set on fire. A few fast food restaurants that have closed up. Next to the Days Inn was a Hardees that caught fire back in October of 2022. Loved your exploration video of this location. Stay safe dude!
This video seems disingenuous. Breezewood has declined, but he seems to link it to the rerouting of the turnpike.
Breezewood was a major junction for traffic heading toward the DC area even before I-70 was completed sometime around 1966 +/- a year or two in my memory. Also, the comparatively recent completion of I-68 to the south, allowing travelers to avoid the Turnpike when going to DC/Baltimore from anywhere west of Pittsburgh, the completion of I-80 to the North giving a direct route to NYC for Great Lakes region travelers, cheap airfares, and faster, safer, more comfortable, more reliable cars, have more to do with Breezewood's decline than the bypassing of the tunnels.
Loved this video dude. Please don't hesitate to share all of the places that you explorer and are interested in!! Just because some people might not like it as much doesn't mean you don't have a ton of other people that do love it and are interested in the kinds of things you are!
Amazing how you added the historical clips from the beginning of this forgotten place
I genuinely love this channel man
I live not too far from the abandoned turnpike, and have been there numerous times. While doing my master's in history, I wrote a paper on the economic impact of the creation of the turnpike on rural areas like this, as well as another project creating a historic tour of one of the tunnels. If you're interested in abandoned areas related to this, I can recommend Vanderbilt's Folly some miles east of there - a section of partially completed rail route from the 1880s that was bypassed in the '30s when they built the turnpike on the old rail paths.
I've been there! Many many years ago, and I remember going through those tunnels; they were so much fun to drive through. Thanks for bringing back memories.
That was very cool, thanks!!! 😎 Looking forward to watching more of your films!
New to this channel and I love this video I can imagine what goes on at night in that abandoned house yikes ❤.
This was one of the best explores of this tunnel that I have seen yet. 👍👍❤❤
The comment you made about the trash, and the no bs antics made me subscribe. I’ll start checking out all of your content. Thanks man
This is an incredible history tidbit!
Keep ‘em coming!
We truly don't appreciate things until they're gone. I often ponder the days of my youth. Before the days of the dreaded Smart Phones which people seem unable to put away for more than a few minutes. People seemingly getting along with one another. Courtesy, respect, common sense and decency were the order of the day. How simple things were as a kid. How fun they were. Without the need for electronic games to keep us entertained. Hopping on a bike, skates, playing with physical toys. My Dad gathering the family, jumping in the car and going on a road trip for the day. Pulling in at a rest area and taking-in the sites and sounds. Connecting with Nature. Stopping at a diner for something to eat. Ending the awesome meal and ambiance with a tall Chocolate Milk Shake topped with Whipped Cream. What a mess things have become. I long for the simpler times. Your video was well done and as you can tell, stirred up fond memories. If you ever go back to this location I wonder if you'd consider securing an interview with the people/family at that one house with the ranch and horses. Or any of the other houses along that abandoned Turnpike if they're occupied. They just might have one or two wonderful stories to share. Keep it real brother. God bless.
Nice. Seems like the ideal location for a half marathon, or a full marathon with return and natural cooling sections.
Really cool video. Nice job on the camera work+ informative in the historical aspect.. I like how you integrated the old black and white promo film of the turnpike/tunnel as you're walking along it in its abandoned state. The windows in that old white decapitated
house are awesome. As a lover & student of architecture, the views those windows offered from inside must have been spectacular, especially in the fall. I can imagine sipping a glass of wine in the late afternoon looking out as the leaves were turning colors. Excellent piece capturing a slice of Americana & its history! Keep up the good work.
I love it man. All your videos are amazing. I look forward to seeing them. So thank you!! Much love.
Great edits including the news reels.
I find it so dope that you were able to gather footage of this road when it was in it's prime! The internet is a double edged sword but these kinds of videos make it all so worth it!
This was an awesome journey thanks for filming it and sharing it
Outstanding video production. Thank you.
The doorknob around 25:00 is awesome :)
We used to ride bikes out there before life got in the way. It's been years since we were out there, but it's a great place to visit and explore.
Was gonna ask if it was a bikepath now. I live in Ohio and want to ride it if legal.
@sebikelifeusvetparatrooper I know people still ride out there. I live in ne Ohio, so I'm relatively close, and I have friends that go out there. Go to pike 2 bike online, and you can get all the information
Thanks. Sort of brings home the feel of current events. Along with appreciation for days long gone.
I was really captivated watching this, and your voice is soothing to listen to. I love these types of vlogs and was very happy to come across this. I learned alot and now I am going to go watch the movie The Road. Yes keep your adventures coming...Can't wait to go on the next with you...
As a child, we travelled that turnpike on every Summer vacation from 1947 to 1955. The tunnels were exciting, but scary. The tunnels were more narrow inside than at the openings. And there was traffic going both ways. We kids always looked forward to lunch at the service plazas. At that time they were Howard Johnson's. The food and service was top-notch. And their ice cream sundaes were spectacular.
Just discovered your channel and loving it! Thank you for all the great content you put out here! Cheers from Sweden!
Great video, well done. I loved “The Road”, and I love the history so thank you for the research you did for this video.
Thanks for this video.🙏 Your editing and soundwork lended a very ethereal tone to my experience as the viewer. It brought a delicate, eerie feel that transported me back to family road adventures in the 1960's. A very curious and humble spirit of adventure comes through your work which I enjoyed very much. Keep filming! 🎥 👍🏼
I really enjoyed this video,so much history & all that work to build those tunnels,awesome 🙌🏻
This was an awesome adventure that i was happy to feel like I was on the trek with you my friend. Peace be with you always.
I like your building explores just as much as these outdoor explores. It’s all about the adventure! 😊
I like old ghost towns. The history behind them and the day to day life of the people who lived there. Ty for sharing this video with us.
I really loved this! Can’t wait to see more of your films.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! I never knew there were long sections of abandoned highway like this, other than in places like Centralia. Nicely done!!!
Really enjoyed that, thanks for posting. Very informative. I look forward to visiting the tunnels myself in the near future.
Great video. Thanks. So great to watch you explore. Keep it up.
Thanks for a wonderful adventure, did not know this place even existed, I hope you do more exploring like this.👍
Cool video, I enjoyed it. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!
Thanks..
You helped me learn more about somewhere I plan to see yet..
I used to go to Hershey every fall and traveled the Turnpike every year from around 1977 to 1987. When I went they had just shut the 3 tunnels down leaving 4 to go through. I was always fascinated by the tunnels. Thanks for sharing your journey through the tunnel.
Awesome video,thank you for the history as well
Not sure why but this one was really interesting to me. Love all your other stuff too also! I would also say how far the channel has come and your presentation and editing. Ive followed for many years now. Its awesome, well done
Very well done man. First time I have come across your channel. You have a great tone and demeanor.
Much respect to you my friend, it takes a lot of heart to go out there on that adventure, I am in the Poconos & I've been in PA since 2000 & as I get older I'm so into the history of PA, & your adventures are truly educational & better than what you would learn from reading a book, this was the 2nd video of yours that I've watched & I'm going to binge-watch your videos, just be careful out there & look 4ward to more of your videos
@DarkExploration Devin, you have stepped up your video content in a huge way. I think this is your best video to date, Keep on climbing dude! 😎👍
I can't help but look forward to your first feature-length film.
Well since this is the first video of yours that I've watched, I'm DEFINITELY up for some more of this!
Awesome! Absolutely love this! Thank you!
