There were a lot of iron mines in the area back to colonial times. That trail on the stone wall (@6:39) is actually the remnants of narrow gauge rail tracks that carried iron ore carts to the foundries. They built those to level the track rather than going up an down the hollows with full carts. As a matter of fact, George Washington had huge chains built with local ore to put across the Hudson to block the British ships from easily sailing up the river. I believe one was right near the zoo at Bear Mtn. A piece of the chain is at West Point.
(6:06-7 ) mark. Here in Florida we have one that's close to this one. We call them , Leopard Frogs . You will find them around wet areas. Two ways to stay a little cooler. The old fashion way it to put green leaves under your hat. YEP , It does work. Have done it a lot when wearing a straw hat in younger days. The other , get a hat from Mission towels , wet it and as it evaporates it will help to cool you. Yep, I also do that and it does help.
One of my favorite man made things on the AT, after the attacks the smoke from the buildings was visible for days from all of the vistas along the at in the northern part of NY.
The day turned out so pretty for you even tho it was so hot. I believe that rock wall was part of a narrow gauge RR track that was used to transport harvested timber used in the ship building industry back in the day.
We look forward to your videos every day! A day without Jay is like a day without sunshine!! Nice pictures of the Catalpa tree and blossoms! I think that was a pickerel frog that you spotted! Stay cool and keep going!!!
Hi Jay. What along hike on a hot day! 🌞 Love the rock wall and all the water at the shelter! So very cool and nice! I think the trail is somewhere? 🤯🤯🤯Lol. Love the painted 🇺🇸 in memory of 911. Take care stay safe and C U tomorrow!! 🥱Get some rest!! 🇺🇸🏕🌸🌻🙏
Hey Jay. It was nice meeting you when you were finishing up your lunch. It was definitely a pretty brutal day. Glad to see you made it to RPH. After I spent the night at Graymoor, I headed back north and hiked to RPH shelter. The Boy Scouts were there when I got there also. I had a pizza delivered to the shelter that night. LOL. When I headed back to my truck at Canopus Lake, I did swing by that new shelter. Very nice but very out of the way with no water nearby without walking to the concession area. Maybe they'll develop it more over the years and reroute the trail but until then, it seems to be a shelter of last resort. Keep pointing north...
Yay!!! Now we get to see you guys hiking together soon! I missed both the live feeds. Super bummed. Hope I catch the next one. That stone wall was super cool. Stay hydrated, this heat wave is brutal! Happy hiking!🥾🍃🌳
I felt for you in that heat and humidity. We've been doing training hikes down here in Alabama and the struggle is real. I enjoyed seeing that Catalpa bloom. We had a tree in our yard when I was a kid and we called it the "popcorn tree." Stay safe! Thank you for sharing your journey!
Thanks for another great video. We should never forget.... Hey, you have pink hot dog n mushrooms number? They’ve not posted in 3-4 days. Last video, they were catching train to nyc for day. Didn’t mention there’d be a delay in videos. Just a little concerned.... thanks.
The painted flag is in memory of September 11, 2001 not 2011 @9:40. That is why I wish people wouldn't shorten it to 9/11 because it should be honored correctly.
Oh Jay, a long tough day. So glad you made it to your destination. I thought the flag & dedication to 9/11 was very nice. Thank you for taking us along. Take care & stay safe!🙂🙏🏾
I wish people would keep the graffiti in the hoods and not the woods. Old gory/ the scars and gripes belongs on flags in town, not painted on sacred mountains rocks.
Something tells me you're not educate about the history of graffiti Brad. Graffiti has been around in "non-hoods" areas for centuries. Educate yourself Bradly. I'm sure you've carved your initials in a tree trunk at sone point in your life. Thanks an example of graffiti or maybe you did something to your school desk. Wake up Brad.

"stone wall" that the trail goes on is actually an old railroad bed from a mining railroad.
We look forward to your videos every day! A day without Jay is like a day without sunshine!! Nice pictures of the Catalpa tree and blossoms!
I think that was a pickerel frog that you spotted! Stay cool and keep going!!!
I liked the stone wall part of the trail and the Inoculation Station.
That was a long hike for such a hot day! Looks like you are doing a good job with staying hydrated, stay well.

That Tina is SMOKIN' fast! Jayna Gap is melting away. 🙂
You should be with Tina now! Woooohoo!!

Stay hydrated, this heat wave is brutal! Happy hiking!🥾🍃🌳
Its so hard to hike in the heat. Keep going Jay🌻
Tenting under the Catalpa tree - pretty cool.

Neat frog...
Nice shelter area...
LONG DAY, you did well...
I’m in all the way to Katadin!
Good video with lots of good views, so let's keep on hiking..
Thanks for another great video. We should never forget....
Hey, you have pink hot dog n mushrooms number? They’ve not posted in 3-4 days. Last video, they were catching train to nyc for day. Didn’t mention there’d be a delay in videos. Just a little concerned.... thanks.
I see PhD n mushroom are fine. They just went rogue in nyc and all is well. 😀
That was interesting about inoculation station plaque. Stay hydrated!
Good length as far as time…..held our interest. Felt sorry for you in the heat and humidity.

Don't get me started on Mt. Rushmore1 grr
Isn’t 9/11 for the 9th month and 11th day?
Oh Jay, a long tough day. So glad you made it to your destination. I thought the flag & dedication to 9/11 was very nice. Thank you for taking us along. Take care & stay safe!🙂🙏🏾
👋
Thanks for showing the Flag and I think a lot of people have forgotten about 911
Graffiti vs Art ... you decide
Well said.
That bug net makes you look like The Phantom of The Opera... go take a zero and head to Broadway ... just 1 hr away.
👍👍😁😁😊😊

Hiking without a hat will reduce your body temperature. Get a visor instead.
Maybe a buff would help. Ticks would be a risk without a head covering.
