I am an old man on a motorcycle who still likes to ride and take pictures. This channel is a repository for both photo slide shows and videos taken with the drone I carry as an aerial camera.
I always liked how pretty much every house in the center is white. Theres one house on the left right before you get to the center from where you came from that had full on tennis courts and i think a basketball court and pool it was really nice years ago not sure if anyone's taking care of it anymore.
Splendid flyover Fitzwilliam John... One of my knocks about riding back east is the lack of open vistas like we have out west. But this! Just getting over the treeline reveals a very pleasing Arcadian landscape.
Your observati8on about the vistas here is one of the main reasons I have a drone. It's like having a periscope when you are submerged in the trees. Also, thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the video.
That pile of "kindling" is not a welcome sight. Such a pile immolated, probably not by itself, years ago in Kansas City, KS in the West Bottoms. A contractor's inventory went up in smoke and quashed all rail activity for hours.
Thank you. Having gotten permission to launch from from the old mill yard owner, I was asked to stay within the confines of the mill area and not fly over the yard itself.
Am happy you like it and hank you for the kind words. I've no idea about the phone booth as I was using it as shade so I could see the drone controller screen. The phone booth did make me think of Dr. Who, though.
I live close to the king Phillip and can hear the bells going off at the church from here also I can hear the train in Royalston from my house at night time if there's not a lot of traffic on rt2.
Did you hear the bell go off at all? I think it goes off on the hr every hr. Also not sure if you've ever been in the library right there. They used to have a canoe on the wall inside made from a hollowed out tree. It was from the Narragansett Indians pulled out of queen lake. But the last time I was in there was prob the mid 90s. I would imagine they still have it in there tho.
@@popscycle-john that is but one of the things I miss about riding. So much more removed from the outside inside of an automobile one is. There was a freight train pulling South about the time you were there.I would say probably an hour either side of you. What time are you there, if I may? That little, narrow, road that crosses the railroad tracks used to be the original Route 27.
A really cool spot to fly around would be over the Quabin reservoir. See some of the old foundations left from the old town also dones falls in Royalston would be a cool spot and you got Tully dam not far from there too.
Thank you for the kind words. When building the farm during the 1870s depression, anyone who wanted to work at the farm was welcomed so I am thinking they had a lot of help. Most impressive is the stonework.
SORELY Missed your videos! Hope all is well with you and your family. Your videos remind me that peace and civility still exist, if you are willing to look for them. Your camera work with the drone has always been super exciting. And I only expect that the new camera and drone, operated by you, will impress even more
Just getting back in RU-vid after winter's end, we're happy you enjoyed the views of Rowe. The town is one of our top places to stop when in the area. Hopefully I will do another flyover this spring as things start to bloom.
By the King Phillip restaurant. Also if your flying over the restaurant across from there at the dead end rd if you fly over the highway on the other side Lamb City campground is over there. That would be cool spot to do a fly over of too.
It was depressing to some of us who never attended the camp, but appreciate the values and experiences given to kids who're fortunate enough to attend.
This.. hurt... But... Thank you so much for sharing. I too was there in the 80s, and still have vivid memories. It's where I learned about tennis, sorted out music theory, became better at horn and piano, and fell in love with the sound of an orchestra. My school didn't have one, so it absolutely blew my mind to hear the presence of strings during practices and concerts in Hardwick Hall. So... Many.. Memories.
Thanks for posting this, I was a camper that Northeast Music Camp in the 1980's and though it was hard to see the place like this it's nice to know it will be open space for all to enjoy.
The first building you flew over was the mess hall and cantina. To the right of that would have been the Camp Owners’ house-The Booth family, nurses station and girls shower house. As you fly down toward the field, there would have been a gravel road on the right that looped the whole field. Along that road were first the girls cabins. When I started there in 1982, the first cabin on the right was Gershwin. Then the subsequent bunks were for older girls. Counselors slept in the cabins with their campers. Then came the arts and crafts hut and the Camp Directors’ house. Don and Donna Kitson, aka Ma and Pa and their three daughters,Tammy, Tanya, and Tasha (who we all called Tushy because she was in diapers). Then the four boys’ bunks. Ives was the cabin for the oldest boys. All the bunks were named for composers….Hardwick Hall was demolished by the time you shot your footage. That was where we had choir and orchestra rehearsals, performances, camper dances and other activities. The white building with the half circular driveway was called The Inn. It was the main office and living quarters for music staff. The kitchen staff were mostly locals but they may have bunked there too. So sad to see the camp razed but having it crumble is worse I think. NMC literally saved my life-In forever changed for the better having gone there for five summers.
Studies have shown that good social relationships are what make people happy and it was camps like NMC that helped youngsters understand and form relationships around the things that interested them (e.g., much). We need more people to understand this going forward in the future.
