Hey Gay I'm sure I would love to sit on the front porch of an evening and hear all of your stories. Your activities remind me on one of my landowners who recently turned 87, and came to visit in her new Ford pick-up truck. She was ready to go tromp through some woods and show me new sites. For the record, we have had HOT and DRY weather here. My grass is dead, garden and some trees needing watered. Yesterday was the first cool day we had in 2 weeks at least. We need rain bad. Please be careful outside Gay and drink lots of water. Keep active but do be careful and thanks for being a super fan.

I gave up sodas and sweet teas about 10 yrs ago. I keep water with me at all times. I have coffee in the mornings and then switch to water. My doctor said it was one ofnthe best things I could have done. In the summer time I put bottles in the freezer so i always have cold water. It is also good if We lose power during storms. Keeps my fridge cold. My doctor asked me last month if I walked and inlaughed and told him yes my 80 lb pitty takes me for at least 3 or 4 walks a day. She is not allowed off leash because she likes to chase the cats and the big raccoon that lives behind us in the swampy woods. Believe me after having to go in that mess twice after we moved over here she stays on a leash. Especially with the hot weather because of snakes. Any time you make it to st Augustine give me a shout. We can sit on my patio and chat. I'll even get you something to drink besides water. Lol. Stay safe and thank you for keeping this old woman entertained. God bless you and your family

@@novabigstar1509 thanks!

Thanks.....I've only hit 2 of the sites so far....can't wait to get back!

For sure! My video after this one will feature many of the things you all find down there in coal country...

Thanks, you too!

We just scratch it and find lots. Another trip there is warranted.

Hey Steve great to hear from ya! I'm heading to Knoxville for the Homecoming game this year and my 30th year reunion of the Class of 94 School of Architecture. I'm excited already.

@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives let’s get a bite to eat

More to come!

Thanks Tony.

@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives you’re welcome

Penny you would love the Ramps....yum!

Yep I bet NC has them for sure. I freeze them and cook them throughout the year. They freeze well.

I bet there are some old artifacts around that area of Maryland and from early times. Amazing to find him way out there not far from Pittsburgh.

Leeks...yeahh a Ramp is a Leek (wild variety). Everyone calls them Ramps but the viewing audience outside of Appalachia probably has no clue what these are, but the Leek is sold in stores and popular menu item in soups. You wonder how such a plant ever got here.....but they are guuuuooood...

Heck yeah they are good me n my dad n my uncle would go dig them on the back side of dolly sides Wv and they would give me hack cuz I would be eating them as we was diggin and they are more potent raw lol

Very true.

I should have added they fired him and sent him packing. He was too destructive for even them.

Hopefully it was in time before he destroyed the whole property. Be blessed!!​@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives

Not sure Vicks was around back in the 1950's when most of this trash seems to date from. There was no trash hauling service in the mountains back then and farmers dumped their trash in swales, foundations or valley's. I agree it could have been a party area, but a cool one to boot!!

Why do you care? All metrics are up.....his video has doubled my Subscriptions (from 8,000 to almost 20,000) and income....and millions of views to boot.....his video has been the gift that keeps on giving....

@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives he did a pretty underhanded thing. If YOU don't like the heat get out of the kitchen.
