It can be interesting to just keep wandering around the woods you will always find something interesting to see or check out. thats the best part about exploring thank you for the awesome tour and exploring
Thank you so much, enjoyed your hike as I see things never seen before. Like the frog and lizard. Really enjoyed that and the history, car was great too. 50’s for sure.
Was a great find looking at the old diggings etc. Fossil trees and the Salamander and frog and gorgeous color of them was so unusual plus finding the old Chevrolet wreck. Love these hikes and discovering the old days and what it must have been like, thanks Cliff for the history!
Very cool! We love finding fossils...found one not too long ago on an exploring trip. Although, we still can't identify tree bark fossils too well yet like you can. Cool finds!
Thank you for another lovely hike in the woods! Love fossils, birds, salamander and frogs. We have little bright green frogs here in Alabama just like the red one. Love the spots on the salamander. The car was a cool find.
I really love this adventure you are on. I loved the fossils you pointed out and your little friends and the frog made it really cool. I really did enjoy this. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of the area. I love things like that. I have been to PA many times but since I was driving a semi I didn't get to really see the area. lol Thanks for sharing!
The Orange water coming out of the hillsides are referred to as 'Acid Mine Drainage' (AMD). This terminology is used by all scientific and environmental groups working on the problem. The contents in any area to change the water to orange is sulfur, Non-ferrous iron, and ferrous iron. Most of the water changing color is a result of Rust (Ferrous Iron mixed with water plus oxygen equals rust) You wil notice in the video that around 35:00 that you will notice the trees alive and growing amidst the water falling out of the hillside, thus showing the nutrient-rich minerals are not toxic to the trees nor the flowers our Wanderer showed us but also the Algae near the orange waterfalls. When there is too much of anything then the acidity (pH) of the water is decreased and the life within the water perishes, this is where many of us work in Eco-remediation.
One of the people I worked with in New England lived in an old house (from the mid 1700s). The basement of the house was made out of stone blocks. They had salamanders living in their basement that would hide between the stone blocks.
Red marking on the one tree at around 8:37 in(near bottom of the picture), maybe marking a trail? Or marking somebodies digging spot back in the woods there?
Wonderful video. I would love to find an explanation for how the fossels were made or came to be. The geologic history of that area. Was it an inland lake or small "ocean" a long time ago? That rock layered that way makes me think so possibly but I'm very curious.
As others have posted that's a 1950 to 52 Chevrolet. Sorry Cliff, definitely not 60's but that's OK, I never even saw that railroad path/spur till you pointed it out.
Those tree fossils are in the Neuropteris family. I could show you an amazing place if you;d like to film some amazing fossils from Schuylkill County, PA?
Pretty sure those are not efts. An eft is completely aquatic, and has a semitransparent paddle-like tail. Once they've advanced to a terrestrial state they are full fledged newts. Or salamanders. Those guys looked like newts to me though. Loved your adventure though. You really visit some magical places.
A Red Eft is an intermediate phase of the Red Spotted Newt (now sometimes called the Eastern Newt). Eventually it will probably return to the water to become completely aquatic again, and turn green with outlined red spots. The "Red Eft" phase is spent on land, wandering through the woods, much like the "wandering woodsman".
what was the pollutant that caused the orange water ?is coal related ? i wonder if the newt salamander guy adapted the color to hide more easily in toxic water ? just goofing on that ?
If I were you i would have definitely investigated into that car. Those were some serious bullet holes. You never know it could be a unsolved case of some kind!
Dubya Balthazar yup since they didn’t have the technology to fix certain part of cars back then wen there car stopped working they would dump it off the side of a hill cliff or a fairly steep bank often times dumping other things with it
Do you ever use or have metal detector? Many may be war time trenches and find muskets etc. Do you know stone types? Love to now know of tree's!. Love Japanese knotweed!
Love them little Red Efts! You are very good at spotting things. Thanks for the adventure, Cliff.
Fun video. I used to hike and explore need to start up again. Thank you for sharing...
Small water falls sounds cool
🤘😈🤘
Another good video .The water coming out of the mine is probably AMD and it's a shame it is not being treated .
I love nature & bird watching, I enjoy the birds, crickets frogs singing it is so peaceful to hear. 🙂👍🌻
I'd say you've got about a '51 Chevy.
Gosh what a beautiful place . Thank you for taking us with you. I really enjoy your banter so interesting and full of good info.
Awesome critters.. Fossils...old cars and hike!!!
Late 40's early 50's on the car.
Great adventure
I've been enjoying your videos. That car, if not yet positively identified, is a '49-'52 Chevy
Love the critters and tree fossils, great wander .
Amazing what you find out in the wilds.Thank you for the video.Love it.
LOVE LEARNING ABOUT ALL YOUR FINDS ON YOUR TRAVELS...SUPER COOL ...THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING ALL YOUR INFO :)
It can be interesting to just keep wandering around the woods you will always find something interesting to see or check out. thats the best part about exploring thank you for the awesome tour and exploring
I think that car is a 1951 chevy
Thank you so much, enjoyed your hike as I see things never seen before. Like the frog and lizard. Really enjoyed that and the history, car was great too. 50’s for sure.
from the rounded sheet metal of the car i would say a late 40s model into 1950s model
Probably just iron staining that water.
Those little orange critters are so cool. Adorable.
I'm sure glad you knew the way. You had me lost for sure! Great video.....
Real nice unplanned adventure. I like the addition of nature-More, please.
Awesome video
That red lizard is awesome. Live in Arizona I see lots of brown ones.

Very cool area.
Good explore brother,we gota get you up on a tandem paramotor ride,find so many cool things!

looks like 52 or 53 chevrolet
The fossils are so cool.

Barney and Clydes car.. Thats why theres bullet holes
Huh?
SOME ONE HAD TO DRIVE THAT CAR TO THAT PLACE, REALLY WEIRD OF SOME PEOPLE.
If you ever find another big patch of Striped Maple, look for buck rubs on them. Whitetail bucks love to rub those trees. Nice Vid. !
Neat salamander at about 11:40. For all the time I spent in the woods back east I never saw one of those.
brant morrison I always catch those guys at my friends house we make little homes for them for a day then Release them
One of the people I worked with in New England lived in an old house (from the mid 1700s). The basement of the house was made out of stone blocks. They had salamanders living in their basement that would hide between the stone blocks.
brant morrison newt
Thank! I don't know my reptiles and amphibians!
I had a salamander crawl through my croc during a flood lll
Car is not a 49 or 50. Is 51 or 52 as that is when GM extended the rear fenders.
1951 or 1952 chevrolet. You can google taillight to confirm but Im old enough to remember. 😂
Orange is not have to be toxic. Iron loving bacteria
Loving the frogs and salamanders !!
thanks Cliff
Red marking on the one tree at around 8:37 in(near bottom of the picture), maybe marking a trail? Or marking somebodies digging spot back in the woods there?
Sometimes hunters do that to mark their 'spot'
It's a Spring Peeper!
Wonderful video. I would love to find an explanation for how the fossels were made or came to be. The geologic history of that area. Was it an inland lake or small "ocean" a long time ago? That rock layered that way makes me think so possibly but I'm very curious.
The car looks to me it is a 1952 Chevrolet, because of the taillight, and the rear door design. I am pretty good with american cars from the 1950s.
Maybe a petrified tree that round thing. Cool fossils
As others have posted that's a 1950 to 52 Chevrolet. Sorry Cliff, definitely not 60's but that's OK, I never even saw that railroad path/spur till you pointed it out.
That was absolutely amazing. Love the critters. Maybe you could get that car going?
49-52 chevrolet car..
That car appears to be an early 1950s Chevrolet or possibly a Pontiac. Most likely a Chevrolet though, because of the lack of bright trim.
Did you check the trunk to see if Jimmy Hoffa was in the trunk? lol
Loved seeing the cute critters. Never seen an orange tree frog. All I ever see, when I see them, is green.
Ohhhh I'm soooo wanting to go there!!!!
Juvenal stage of Eastern Newt.
The taillight is from a 1952 Chevrolet Deluxe. The roofing at 35:45 is asbestos. Your videos are always a treat.
Love you videos :)
Cool place. A lot of little man made little stone and wood structures, leaving no clues what they were for.
You don't have nearly as many subscribers as you deserve. I hope this changes soon! Another nice explore. I thank you.
What makes that water orange and toxic ? The leftover rails and carts ?
Add some metal detecting on these adventures, I am sure there is some interesting items in those remote places
Those tree fossils are in the Neuropteris family. I could show you an amazing place if you;d like to film some amazing fossils from Schuylkill County, PA?
It would be cool to hike this with someone who had actually seen this in better days.
Cliff likes to treat himself with "eating a little ice cream" at home after a hard day on the trail.
Looks like a chunk of concrete at around 17:39 almost mid screen towards the bottom, maybe from an old building?
Pretty sure those are not efts. An eft is completely aquatic, and has a semitransparent paddle-like tail. Once they've advanced to a terrestrial state they are full fledged newts. Or salamanders.

Its always fun when I'm out exploring in the woods, seeing old foundations. 12:22 Cool.
I love my home state of Pa ill be up in erie in sept
what was the pollutant that caused the orange water ?is coal related ? i wonder if the newt salamander guy adapted the color to hide more easily in toxic water ? just goofing on that ?
Not pollutant. Natural. Type of bacteria.
Nice zooming on that camera...
wander those woods bro
Have you ever hiked around Mercer county?
Not yet
If I were you i would have definitely investigated into that car. Those were some serious bullet holes. You never know it could be a unsolved case of some kind!
Petrified wood @ 4:35 dude...
Is orange iron?
what makes it toxic water lol just iron in it
They prly blast em shut
that orange water is coming from a closed flooded mine
Old cars in the middle of nowhere are usually a sign of a old dump
Really? I never thought of that. My mind automatically went to someone up to no good
Dubya Balthazar yup since they didn’t have the technology to fix certain part of cars back then wen there car stopped working they would dump it off the side of a hill cliff or a fairly steep bank often times dumping other things with it
Do you ever use or have metal detector? Many may be war time trenches and find muskets etc. Do you know stone types? Love to now know of tree's!. Love Japanese knotweed!

Those weren't fossils.that is ancient native hidden art.they carved small rocks too and they are called portable art. The place is covered
