This is why I document these places, because unfortunately nothing lasts forever. Have you ever had the chance to see Graffiti highway in person? Share your thoughts!
JPVideos No but I I am sure your videos were very much appreciated by many that cannot make the trek to see these places I am legally blind but have enough vision to watch on my iPhone or my TV so I get to do the adventure without getting dirty or falling in a hole
Hi Jay...loved the video! You're probably the only one I could get injured with and still say I had a great day. Thanks for the tour and your friendship as well. Looking forward to more videos with you! 💚😎
Graffiti Highway, or the abandoned section of Rt 61 as i prefer to call it, has changed so much over the years from my first visit to it in 2012 when there was hardly any Graffiti at all on it. The crack in the road was a lot easier to see and wasn't full of trash back then and burnt tires. Me personally, wish it could still look like that today, but others apparently didn't feel that way and decided it would be better to ruin it for future generations to see a piece of history. For whatever memories that others have had by seeing it, i definitely can not take that away from them and can appreciate what it was to you. We all who have documented it can definitely help future generations to be able to see it as it was and the progression over time as to what it has become.
Saddening that Graffiti Highway is buried, but with people having to be so completely irresponsible in their actions, it comes as no surprise. But for history buffs as myself, there is more to Centralia than the Graffiti Highway. The town itself tells a story; a story that needs to be told with dignity and respect.
JP that drone view is great thank you...I noticed a water puddle in the shape of a heart, almost like graffiti highway is saying thank u for visiting me 💙
Yes it's sad to see the road covered up at the moment. And I do mean moment. I'd say give it 3-5 years, and if it manages to stay out of the spotlight so they dont cover it up again, the weather will wash most of that dirt away. Especially on the other end where the piles of dirt arn't so grouped up together. So who knows, Graffiti Highway might not be gone forever!
What a coincidence! I just was at knoebels about 3 hours ago, even looked for your writing on the bridge (no luck). Went home through Centralia, and wondered how much of the road is actually covered. I get home, and see this upload! Thanks for the perfect timing!
Glad you have documented Centralia Jay. Very sad burial. 😔Heat coming out of the rocks is incredible. Right when you said you could cook here I was thinking would make great oven. Think you have said before is surprising there is plant growth so close to the heat. Geyser is really beautiful, just sad about the water. Feel bad for any wildlife drinking it. The bird you showed looked really healthy though, glad to see that. Church is amazing & has stood the test of time there. Centralia is very interesting yet sad part of history. One I think needs told. Again so great what you do Jay to document these important pieces of history. Thanks!! 😊
I feel its my duty to share updates and progress of locations, whether it be good or bad. Im glad my videos will help realize what took place over time.
Excellent ....yet sad update. Difficult to see the highway covered up by mounds and mounds of fill. It must have cost him a mint to have that trucked in. Great that you mentored Retromantic on Centralia. She did a great job on her video....even though she should have gone in for sutures for her injury immediately. Now she'll have a prominent scar ☹️ Can't fault her for poor footwear. They might not have been hiking boots, but certainly better thanks RJ's SANDLES! Yikes. Beautiful drone footage. As a previous commenter noted, the large heart shaped puddle in the fill ...says it all. Thanks for going back. 🌿🖤🛣️🖤🌿
There is a documentary that's more than an hour long. It really impacted me and I commented on it in 2019, and there were still about 10 houses with inhabitants in Centralia. One of them was a 34 -year-old man named John Lokitis. The documentary was very interesting and he told how the fire started and some of the older men living there actually said why the fire spread because they lived it. Anyway, I would just like to know if that man still lives there. I was very touched by his story. Great video BTW.
Is there any possibility to give direction to the graffiti that is left on the concrete wall? Going there first time in a week and would love to see it.
Thank you to all the idiots who couldn't respect the place and ruin it on the people who actually did. Everybody enjoyed going there now it's gone for good. What other cool pace will get shut down next. Respect the places you visit and clean up after yourself so other people could visit in the future also.
I'm bummed out that I missed my chance to see Graffiti Highway in person, but it looks like Centralia is still worth the trip. I'm guessing they put the dirt in mounds instead of flattening it to discourage people from continuing to walk the highway. I did not know about the mine fire in Laurel Run until you mentioned it.
Hi Jay. I am a new subscriber to your channel. Came across your channel while getting info on how to repair my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 tablet which i dropped and broke the screen. Thanks to TH-cam, I have made my repairs and now I can watch your videos on a repaired tablet. I born and raised just outside of Pittsburgh. Live in Germany now. Your adventures make me feel at home. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the update video JP. It's tough to see the place buried. I remember going there 12-15 years ago and the bottoms of your sneakers would get hot from walking certain spots on the old highway. Smoke could still be seen in the cracks there and coming out the side hill by the old dump.
Always nice to see a Centralia vid. I have so many pix myself before they covered it. We were always told to be very careful going off road as you never know where there could be areas of ground instability. Even though the road got covered, there are still a load of places to see but ya definitely gotta be careful lest you wind up paying an early visit to the underworld! And judging by what you're measuring, it is indeed a hell on Earth! Gotta watch for the carbon monoxide as well. Again, thanks for the cool vid! Def will check out Ellen's stuff too!
nice video dude, i was there in december. i took a trip to ny to hang with a few comics i know. on the way back i went down there and did some art for about 4 hours. next thing i knew corona hit and centralia was gone. i was lucky enough to see the last bit of it and do a little dedication piece for my friend who passed away who was suppose to go with me and never made it
Sad to see the graffitti highway covered..(some group will be uncovering it one day in the future as an archaeology wonder ) ..always love the drone footage . Seems like all that underground water could put out the fire ....( science is over my head LOL ) ....Glad Ellen is doing better . Thank you , Jay, for updating us on Centralia.
Once the vegetation grows over this, which won't take long, the existence of this place will be allegedly forgotten. But, it won't be forgotten by friends and relatives and still living past residents of this town. Tragedy of the coal fire burning for who knows how many more years to come. These videos by JP show us the truths of our past, the mistakes humans make, the waste, the lack of respect for the dead, its important to remember so we may have a chance not to repeat our mistakes. THANK YOU, JP!!!!!
I just watched your first video on the subject and this one is just like I suspected it would be. Five years hence, those same, undisturbed piles of dirt will be just like these except for more growth over them. Nice.
Excellent video! Sorry about the spill Ellen took, hope she heals quickly! Pertaining to the Laurel Run fire, Its still going and not to hard to get to. There is a park in Georgetown off Willow Street and the road going up, Northampton Street or Giant's Despair, has some vents that steam along the road, quite notably at the curve called "Devil's Elbow". Sending a link of the park and area. Stay safe and keep the history coming!!
Dark Lane Pit in my hometown, Mirfield, UK, was abandoned when it got so they had to pump almost a million gallons a day. Tunnels did extend right to centre of river which was boundary marker to other properties.
I visited yesterday and entered the Graffiti Highway from the opposite end. There is still a small bit left uncovered with a fair amount of graffiti. Thanks for a wonderful video!
I’m sure that they kept the fill dirt in piles is to keep people from driving down the former “Graffiti Highway”. It won’t take long for trees to grow and you will have to look closely to even see where it once was. Kind of like the TV show “Life After People”. If you haven’t seen it, you should seek it out.
Man this is sad to see...i had this on my bucket list too. Sad that things got so outta hand there that not only did they have to bury it they had to do it in mounds of Rock and dirt to seal the deal with keeping people and vehicles off..was such a staple for that area..wish people could just learn to respect things so others can enjoy them in the future.
Hi Jp wow its actually gone in a good way its great that they want to turn it back into nature and it will always be known as the grafetti highway, dos make you wonder just how many lost motorways and old highways are buried or even out there still,. Especially in countries as large as yours,. Hope her knee is okay now🙂, im rather a clumsy guy lowkey and my shoes are terrible for adventures lol,. Loved the drone footage and the revisits, its crazy how hot those vents are you seriously wouldn't want to fall into a sink hole or hidden tavern at all,. Have an amazing rest of your week mate
Great Great video. I was going make the trip there early 2020 to see that for the 1st time. Covering it in dirt is a real scummy move. I still may make the trip next weekend
Wow I was just telling my son about your previous video with the drone showing piles of dirt. I was there 3 times over the past 6 years. Such a shame. I have memories and lots of pictures. I must ask where is the steam coming from? I never seen anyone go to that spot or I would've headed there years ago . I'm not familiar with the area where the steam is, what is that by? Not familiar with the geyser either where is that? Love your videos ! You have done some in my area,, Hazleton. Ty for the Centralia update I just said to my son I was wondering if you had gone back to see if the road was fully covered. Take care!
@@JPVideos81 Ty so much! I honestly didn't know there is still steam surfacing! I might take a short girls day road trip and check that geyser out lol. Take care!
Sad to see... It was... Once upon a Time A Highway Enjoyed... Now buried and be gone! A sad day to see... However I am grateful for your documenting this for time. Dave on the Oregon Coast
You could bring a chuck roast and slow cook it for dinner at that cave opening. Maybe potatoes too. I can understand why they had to cover graffiti hwy., but what a shame we had to lose a landmark. Thanks for taking us back. I am subbed to a lot of You Tubers that visited the place several years ago.
I have a question. Everyone refers to the emissions as steam. Is it actually steam from boiling water heated by the fire? And if the fire is burning coal, where is the burning coal smoke going?
Great video. I’m sad graffiti highway iOS covered. It just seems like part of the territory. This is such a sad story. The drone coverage was great I hope John is doing g well. I heard he had a baby with his girlfriend. Congratulations and best wishes to him and his family.
@@JPVideos81 this is true i just fill like they are covering up history everywhere. im hoping to make a trip out there once everything clears up i had a a trip set but i had to cancel it due to this virus and the restrictions :( so hopefully my friend i will be there soon. but time will tell. stay safe i really enjoy watching your videos i really like your live streams i just sometimes dont get done in time to catch yours after i do mine :)
JPVideos sweet that would be awesome like I said they Will quarantine people from Texas for two weeks that’s what I heard and if I drive up there and they catch me it’s a $2000 fine +2 weeks in quarantine so I can’t afford to stay up there for three weeks but I’d love to spend about a week up there in the tri-state area
I enjoyed this video Jay 😊 So sad they covered Graffiti Hwy 😞 It seems as though alot of America's history is being taken away 😞 Just so much hate and meanness in the world these days 😢 This world sure does need Jesus ✝️✝️✝️ Thank you Jay for sharing!!! Great drone footage and pictures!!! 💙
Lol...😁 you found somebody's roach clips...lol. 😜😳 I bet they were pissed when they realized they lost them out there in the woods. Don't ask how I know this 😳 How far does that road go they covered? I hope Ellen's leg is ok. Good griping footwear is a must out on trails. Loved the still shots at the end. ✌
Hi Jay, I completely get why they covered it but it's still extremely sad though, end of an era. I bet in 20 years when it's just a small dirt covered lane it will be a distant memory. 😢😢. Thank you for the update. x

Best way to see the former hwy
What’s your IG? I would love to see your Graffiti Hwy pics!
Graffiti THE DESTRUCTION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY SICKENING
Soooo public property graffiti is ok?
I just don't get why they decided to bury a piece a history in dirt and make a popular tourist spot a no trespassing area.

But for history buffs as myself, there is more to Centralia than the Graffiti Highway. The town itself tells a story; a story that needs to be told with dignity and respect.
Totally agreed Adam.
Well put, Adam. 💚😎
Cant agree more. Thanks for being such an awesome mentor in educating me on this iconic place.
@@JPVideos81 We all work together, brother. I appreciate your educating me on so many topics.
Well said Adam
Cheers from Canada.
JP that drone view is great thank you...I noticed a water puddle in the shape of a heart, almost like graffiti highway is saying thank u for visiting me 💙
I saw that too during editing. Nice little surprise.

Once vegetation takes over, yes it will be gone... That was the whole point. In years to come you wont even see evidence of the former road
My mother was born and raised in Centralia. I remember spending the summers with my grandmother there.
What a coincidence! I just was at knoebels about 3 hours ago, even looked for your writing on the bridge (no luck). Went home through Centralia, and wondered how much of the road is actually covered. I get home, and see this upload! Thanks for the perfect timing!
Someone covered up my name and others at Knoebels.
I saw thick blacked out sections and thought “I bet somebody covered it up.” Can’t nobody leave well enough alone...
I absolutely love that you're respectful of the boundaries, well done on being good.
Many decades down the road someone will dig this up again and be amazed. 😕
History has been erased 😭😭😭. Thankfully I still have pictures and memories. Wow
Another great one Jay. So glad that you have footage before the covering of graffiti highway(history recorded for future viewers). Thank you👍✌🖖
This will be talked about to future generations and can see it first hand in video.

It's so upsetting to me what happened here. I'm very grateful to have walked it myself. Such a magical place that we can never get back.
Have to appreciate things while we have them.
I love every trip to Centralia!! Graffiti highway looks so sad and forlorn.....thanks for the update 💖💙💙💖
👍
You never disappoint. Thank you again JP

Unfortunately he isn't there now. I did get to visit his grandparents or his parents, I forgot, grave. It's a really nice headstone.
Great video, thank you for documenting this!
My pleasure
Wow they really did Bury graffiti highway. It's really heart wrenching to see this and it's a shame.
Nothing lasts forever
it is a shame, it's history. however I get doing it to keep people safe but still such a shame to see history covered up
GRAFFITI SICKENING
I find this video quite sad😞
RIP grafitti highway
This entire video is awesome to watch!! Stay safe,well,and God bless,JPVideos🙏
That’s heartbreaking! Graffiti highway was incredible!
This is all new to me, I’ll go back and look for your other vids on Centralia. Awesome drone shots!

This is so sad. Thank you Governor Wolf! (Sarcastically) the dirt is probably radioactive and they need a place to dump it.

Glad ur ok Ellen, be careful out there!
Thank you D.J.!!! 💚😎
Is there any possibility to give direction to the graffiti that is left on the concrete wall? Going there first time in a week and would love to see it.
Its a street across from fire station
I really enjoyed how knowledgeable you are on the history of your content! Great job!
Getting educated on something is fun when you're passionate about it.

Exactly true and well said

Ain’t that the truth in general...It only takes a few to ruin it for the many
Thank you enjoyed watch everything you did
I am absolutely fascinated...

I'm guessing they put the dirt in mounds instead of flattening it to discourage people from continuing to walk the highway. I did not know about the mine fire in Laurel Run until you mentioned it.
Definitely more to see than just the road
They did because people were tearing up and down on it on quads and leaving trash all over the place.
Good video..... so sad to see the highway covered up...I am glad that I got to see it in your videos....thank you

9:57 I lost it when he said “it was loud” 🤣
Yea he doesn't really seem like a people person. Was thinking "seriously dude, atleast fake concern for other people" lol
Cool to hear all the birds around as well
nice video dude, i was there in december. i took a trip to ny to hang with a few comics i know. on the way back i went down there and did some art for about 4 hours. next thing i knew corona hit and centralia was gone. i was lucky enough to see the last bit of it and do a little dedication piece for my friend who passed away who was suppose to go with me and never made it
Glad you got to see it ahead of time
Sad to see the graffitti highway covered..(some group will be uncovering it one day in the future as an archaeology wonder ) ..always love the drone footage . Seems like all that underground water could put out the fire ....( science is over my head LOL ) ....Glad Ellen is doing better . Thank you , Jay, for updating us on Centralia.
Thank you Barb! 💚😎
The water table is lower than where the fire is actually burning.
I don’t care about the graffiti highway, but the remaining residents. They have respect... though their town or city is actually lost.
Silent Hill road is no more. 😢
that a shame some people had to take away the fun with other people to enjoy something like :(
They weren't playing! That's a bummer 😟

So are the residential areas there still around.. Homes, vehicles, buildings, etc?

I'm so glad that road is covered up now,

What happened? Why the area and highway shut down?
Private owners dont want people on there anymore.
Thanks for another great video JP! It's to bad that that part of history got erased.
My pleasure to share it
I have a question. Everyone refers to the emissions as steam. Is it actually steam from boiling water heated by the fire? And if the fire is burning coal, where is the burning coal smoke going?
Combination of steam and smoke, but mostly steam as the ground is saturated and constantly has water dripping down through the surface.
JPVideos Thanks JP. Makes sense!
Is it difficult to find steam still rising? Any known areas?
There's still pockets of heat. Check this video out.

Aside from Ellen's boo boo's, it was still an awesome time and great to experience it with the both of you.
Looking forward to our next videos, RJ. Had a blast with you, hospital and all, lol. 💚😎
Thanks for being with us and for lending the helping hand when i couldn't.
Wicked Pissah Cool Video!
Nice job on the video
👍💙
7:27 This is the church that the church in the Silent Hill movie was modeled after. Look closely, you can see the similarlys.
I used to have relatives in parts of PA, but never got to Centralia...knew about the mine fires though...
Thanks for your video jp
Truly enjoyed the video. I have been wanting to check out Centrilia for years. Anyone still live in and on the out skirts of the town?
Wow this is soo crazy just covering up history 😭😭 I really wish I had the chance to see it
Still worth going there. Lots more to see than the road including some abandoned structures.
@@JPVideos81 this is true i just fill like they are covering up history everywhere. im hoping to make a trip out there once everything clears up i had a a trip set but i had to cancel it due to this virus and the restrictions :( so hopefully my friend i will be there soon. but time will tell. stay safe i really enjoy watching your videos i really like your live streams i just sometimes dont get done in time to catch yours after i do mine :)
@@rootedexpeditions if you plan on coming here, i can give you the grand tour.
JPVideos sweet that would be awesome like I said they Will quarantine people from Texas for two weeks that’s what I heard and if I drive up there and they catch me it’s a $2000 fine +2 weeks in quarantine so I can’t afford to stay up there for three weeks but I’d love to spend about a week up there in the tri-state area
I enjoyed this video Jay 😊 So sad they covered Graffiti Hwy 😞 It seems as though alot of America's history is being taken away 😞 Just so much hate and meanness in the world these days 😢 This world sure does need Jesus ✝️✝️✝️
Thank you Jay for sharing!!! Great drone footage and pictures!!! 💙
It's like the saying goes... only takes a few to ruin it for everyone.
@@JPVideos81 yep and there's always gonna be that few
i used to ride my dirt bike there and do wheelies up and down the highway, do people still ride all over the place there ?
Not as much. Lots of areas are posted and patrolled.
Amazing 💖
How many houses are left? Is the Firehouse still there?
Firehouse and about 3 homes
I used to live in girardville... And used to go there when I was young! So sad
Lol...😁 you found somebody's roach clips...lol. 😜😳 I bet they were pissed when they realized they lost them out there in the woods. Don't ask how I know this 😳 How far does that road go they covered? I hope Ellen's leg is ok. Good griping footwear is a must out on trails. Loved the still shots at the end. ✌
Ok, i wont ask 🤭
@@JPVideos81 ✌😂😂😂😂😂✌
This place was on my bucket list of a places i wanted to see
, i am kinda bummed about all this!
You can still go. More to see than just the highway.
Hi Jay, I completely get why they covered it but it's still extremely sad though, end of an era. I bet in 20 years when it's just a small dirt covered lane it will be a distant memory. 😢😢. Thank you for the update. x
Maybe it will get dug up like an archeological find.
@@JPVideos81 Lol most likely and then they will try and say it has foreign Mayan looking pictographs 😂😂. x
You should walk around the mountain at night. Pretty cool. I camp there myself. It's different. But no one ever wants to go with me.
