Come along for my very first cruise adventure aboard the MSC Meraviglia leaving from Brooklyn, NY heading to the Bahamas!

This first video of a 3 part series will show highlights of boarding, departure from Brooklyn, NY, our room tour and our first impressions and initial thoughts of the first day.

Although this is my first ever cruise, I did do lots of research prior to this trip, but I still wasn't full prepared for what was to come... If you've never cruised before, hopefully this video will give you a sense of what the first day is like.

The next two videos will focus more on the ship and the ports, so stay tuned for those.

We're going to embark on something for the very first time and it was a rather stressful experience...

I can tell you that I have a great list of winter locations that I've began filming, but before those come out, I want to share with you a 3 part series of something I've never done before.

This past November my family & myself went on our very first cruise. This is something I never thought I'd actually do, but I was always curious what it would be like.

This first video will show boarding, a room tour, departure from the Brooklyn terminal and some of our initial thoughts and first impressions.

Since this was my first experience, it's safe to say that I wasn't completely prepared for what it would be like and needless to say, I was out of my comfort zone.

You're invited to join us for this experience on Friday nights video.

Merry Christmas everyone!

After battling pneumonia for nearly two weeks I'm finally feeling better. Thankfully I was able to be home to ride it out and although it put me behind on things, I'm Thankful to have the worst of it behind me.

With that being said, I'm feeling well enough that I created a Christmas project, one that I was personally invited to check out.

This one of a kind custom Christmas House is known as Saint Nick’s Display located in Waymart, PA. That name may be familiar to some as I originally filmed this place back in 2022.

After taking a year off, Nick came back for 2024 bigger and better and added some unique things, including a working carousel.

Come along and take a walk with us to learn what's new for his display and enjoy the views from both the ground and the sky.

I have an update for you...

Since posting about being under the weather, my symptoms haven't really improved at all. So this morning I saw my doctor and had x rays done and they think I have pneumonia. Not the news I wanted to hear, but glad I know what's going on and will be getting antibiotics to treat it.

Unfortunately this is only going to prolong my schedule and it's now looking unlikely that I'll have my Christmas themed video out for Christmas eve, but I'll see how things play out over the new few days.

If you or someone you know has a cough & fever for over 5 days, make sure they get checked out as this, along with rsv is going around and is not something to take lightly.

Another mine subsidence happened again and this one swallowed up an entire inground swimming pool. Eight years earlier there was another subsidence just feet away from this one.

It's déjà vu for this family, as this isn't their first time dealing with a subsidence of this size.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that there's going to be a bit of a delay until the next video, here's why...

Since Thursday/Friday I've been battling a fever and a chronic cough. Thankfully I tested negatively twice for both covid and flu, but I definitely don't feel like myself and can't get out to do much at this moment.

I had plans to film 2 to 3 videos, but those are pushed back for now until I feel better. Even if the fever is gone, I can't film while constantly coughing, so I'm hoping to get back into things sooner than later.

But what I can tell you is I have two special projects to share with you. One is a 3 part series from back in November (something completely new and different for me) and the other is something Christmas related (the Christmas video should be out for Christmas eve).

It's never fun being sick around the holidays, but as soon as I'm better we'll continue with lots more exploring & adventures with some new/different things mixed it. Hope everyone has a great week and stay tuned for more.

Lets enter a portal to inside the earth!

This dark & damp adventure brings us to a location that I originally filmed nearly 7yrs ago, but I came back for two specific reasons.

The first is to see what, if anything has changed, but the second and more important reason is to show it in much better clarity with my new camera.

Not only did my hard hat save me on more than one occasion, but I had something happen with my Thermal gun that has never happened before.

To explore this unique place with me, just grab your flashlight and click the link:

Entering a portal to inside the earth...

This will be taking me back to my earlier days on YouTube.

I decided to visit a place I first explored nearly 7yrs ago, but this time to show it in better clarity. This is something I didn't think I'd be doing again, but the itch got to me.

This location is dark, dirty, and extremely fascinating, but also has some dangers involved.

To explore beneath the earth with me, just tune in Friday night.

This Situation might erase the mining & RR history of this area!

A couple months ago while taking a bike ride I went to an area that I knew of, but wasn't very familiar with. It wasn't long until I started finding some ruins and ended up discovering that a rail line went through the area.

On that same bike ride, I spoke to a few locals who were on the trails and was told that the land was recently sold with plans to develop it.

Since this happens all too often, I knew I wanted to explore and document this area sooner than later.

What you'll see in this lengthy adventure is what another modern coal mining Wasteland looks like, where a RR spur line traveled and even some items left behind from the RR days. I'll also include some history, my thoughts and views on this area and the possibility of it being erased.

It's rumored that this area and the history surrounding it might soon be erased!

Earlier this fall I took a bike ride to an area that I wasn't too familiar with and accidentally stumbled upon some hidden history and ruins.

Not only are there several ruins and interesting history tied to mining and the RR, but there's a situation that is developing that might be a threat to these findings.

Ready for a one of a kind underground adventure?

This is a location that I explored on foot back in 2023, but ever since then I knew I wanted to return and explore it in a way I've never done before.

Come along with me as I travel under the city through a massive culvert system that goes for a few thousand feet in a way that little if any people have done before.

I also head into the old section which goes directly under people's basements and show what conditions are currently like.

I'm not sure if this was a risky or brilliant idea, but it sure was exciting, but you can check out this one or a kind adventure by clicking the link in the comments.

Hope everyone enjoys their day.

Early Preview!

Wait until you see this one...

This is one that I've hinted about for a while, but it finally happened!

I decided to explore a massive culvert system like never before. As far as I know, no one has ever done this before and let's just say that it was a one of a kind experience.

On top of exploring this tunnel in a one or a kind way, we'll also revisit some spots including a really old section that is directly beneath people's homes.

Was it a risky or brilliant idea?
Tune in Friday night to find out!

A couple weeks ago I took an afternoon fall walk in Blakely park with my camera and here's a few of my favorite shots.
