We explore Hunting Hill in Ridley Creek state park. We will hike up to see how the land looks five years after a tornado came through the park. We will also stop to visit the Russell Family Cemetery that resides on the top of hunting hill. This cemetery was a small family plot that was used from 1820 to 1861. The headstones are very old looking and quite hard to read. The cemetery is surrounded by an old stone wall. Hiking to this location requires you to hike a portion of the equestrian trail and then take a small dirt trail up Hunting Hill. There is a trail, but the area tends to have high grasses so be cautious about ticks in this area. Come along with us to explore this lesser seen section of Ridley Creek State Park.

A small family cemetery is quite cute. There is nothing much but, at the same time, such a small family-like peaceful small area for those graves. One can see these stones are quite old.

This looks like a really pretty place to hike and take pics. Love the water area. It's beautiful. Haha. Glad you didn't need the map. Kind of surprised they don't require horse riders to clean up after their horses. People have to clean up after their dogs🤷🏻‍♀ Wild that one tree survived. The family cemetery is neat to see. Love stuff like that. Is nice that the tornado didn't take out the cemetery. LOL you totally could have just tied your shoes to the bumper 😉 Thanks for showing us around.

Yes, this park is so beautiful and so many trails here follow the creek. Yes, I don't understand that either to make you clean up dog poop but you are allowed to leave horse poop. Very strange rules. It's amazing to me the stone wall and headstones survived the tornado, must have been some solid construction on that wall. I so appreciate you watching and commenting on so many of my videos. Thank you!

Hi Sarah - really interesting to see where the tornado came through, and wiped out all the trees, except 1. I hope that no one got hurt. Cool old family plot cemetery- we’ve explored some of them before- really nice to have find a grave these days… I bet someone has entered their names, so cool! It really gives you a better sense of history to think about who lived there in the 1800s! Yuk, ticks, I picked up one earlier this summer- quite a surprise for me, haven’t seen one for over 20 years. Good tip on the socks… I’ll remember that! 👌👍👍 Have a great 4th of July celebration! 😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Yes, I kept wondering how that one tree survived. The area looks much better than when I hiked up there a few years ago. At least there are shrubs and greenery. Ticks are such a nuisance on the east coast here. Thank you so much for being a friend of the channel and always taking time to comment. Happy 4th of July to you too.
