I like the video but the vocals are too soft and the background too loud. Hard for the hearing impaired. I say this to anyone who over uses background music so don't take it personally. I like the video. Good content. Thank you for posting.
Terraces just do not normally loose their top soil in a few years as stated by the local guy doing the guiding. It likely took a lot of work to build them and to maintain them. But they can get abandoned due to wars and epidemics. The Cherokees dealt with the British and were supplied with firearms to aid their slaving activities; this is more likely what caused the abandonment of those terraced fields. The mayans civilization suffered from factors that made it decline: ''When was the Mayan civilization abandoned? In archaeology, the classic Maya collapse is the decline of the Classic Maya civilization and the abandonment of Maya cities in the southern Maya lowlands of Mesoamerica between the 7th and 9th centuries.'' Perhaps that is when they migrated to what is the now the Southeastern USA.
It looks like theres some activity I can see the roads are traveled and the wheels and tracks are SHINY on those train cars. It looks like they were carrying coal. I gotta wonder how many toxic chemicals there are and UNEXPLODED ORDINANCES on that property. Those pole top transformers and substation transformer look newer. That shower room looks newer with those 1970s looking tiles on the shower floor. I would also question the red ceramic tiles on that locker room floor they look like they are much newer than ww2. All the circuit breakers are much much newer than WW2 They would have screw in fuses if it was original 1940s stuff. Older transformers are black with brown bushings I didnt se any hear.
I spent summers near there as a child and adult. I remember the hospital when it was open my great uncle died there. It was off then. Went out in the boat there many times. The last time I went out on the ramp to take pictures of a hawk flying. I got so dizzy I fell. I believe it's cursed always have since I was a child.
The weekend after I got my drivers license back in 1979 I drove up to this sight to check it out!! There is more to the story than we know for sure!! An amazing place and experience!!
This is an old abandoned base right across the street from me on old hickory valley road wich is all gated ans says authrized only but u can get to this specific prt from the road u see in front of it and me and my friends are gonna go explore there in a couple of days some parts are still used and the rest was turned into a nature park
I know the person who wrote all that stuff on the walls. He is dead now, died this year of lymphoma. He was in his late 30s. He was around 15 years old when he wrote those things. We visited this place a lot as kids along with the lake that's on up the road. Some of my best stories came out of that area.
You need to research " the Silver City Turtle". ( south of there, between Cumming and dahlongega) A large carved rock turtle. Not a pertoroglyph on rock, but a detailed carved stone statue of obvious great age. Soon after it was discovered some archaeologists came and took it. I have heard that it is in storage somewhere at at UGA. They were unusually secretive about it. Hard to find info.
Where is this place exactly located in Georgia? I live in Georgia. Born bred and raised, and also Cherokee Indian. By my Daddy. I have never heard of this place. Please let me know
I live right next to Tellico, sadly you used to be able to just drive right up to it. The rock quarry was fun to swim in and I was told the mine that you kinda filmed for a second was used as a salt peter mine at one point. I'm not sure though, it was a ranger that told me though. There are rails and equipment still in the bottom of it. (at least when we rappelled down when in high school.) There are some old silver mine about 10 minutes up the road as well. Nothing fancy like out west but still pretty neat. Cool video, thanks!
Born and raised here.... and F all this noise. No sir. aint no way in hell, im getting in the water of that damn place. It use to turn power, aint no telling whats in that water, and ive caught alligator garr big as teenagers.
So many of these things in the neighborhood where I live in Ellijay Ga. Just sad that hardly anyone knows or cares about. Coosawatee river from what I understand were the creek Indians.
its not legal to go there or on the bridge to no where as far as i know. INSURANCE is always the problem. we all know how they ruined the beach because of a lawsuit. however having climbed up in the round house about 25 yrs ago myself i kind of enjoy seeing this on youtube. thank you for doing it.
When clearing the land for planting crops,you would have to pile up the stone from the area,maybe some where used to separate the plots of land,might not be houses.
What's the fuckin mystery? Two thugs thought there was money in the house. There wasn't. You guys have jumped to all kinds of conclusions and misinterpreted every thing about the place and the people involved. When I see crap like this; I can se how Q-ANON became a thing to so many ignorant fools.
At an abandoned ammo plant like this one, you are more in danger from rusty sharp Iron and snakes than from chemicals and explosives. If there were any explosives left, Vandals would have blown them up. The buildings are spread out to reduce the chance that a single facility blowing up would not trigger an avalanche of other explosions.
The Ravenna Army Depot in Ohio is still an active ammo area. It is about 5 miles by 15 miles big. The Radford army ammo plant is in Va and is 3 by 2 miles across. Radford will show you how ammo is made. It is an Army plant but it is run by contractors.
Great job doing this project. I really enjoyed this. I grew up in Cleveland and Chattanooga is now home - but a part of my heart is in the Ocoee region. Glad to see the history being documented this way.
I live Rome, Georgia and I got a rock wall that looks just like that rock wall in the woods on my property. It is mostly buried in the ground. It goes for quite a ways in the woods. There is no telling what is beneath our feet.
