The Scott Exploring Channel was created to document my travels and places I visited. I enjoy visiting historic locations, abandoned buildings and old cemeteries and wanted to film them. I also have documented my Ambulance to Camper Conversion, but I sadly sold it near the start of 2023. Please also check out my Scott Exploring Facebook Page (facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089133103979), where you can see more photos of the locations that I had filmed. I also am uploading photos of my travels before I started a RU-vid Channel, so there is a lot more to see. I also have a dedicated Photography Facebook Page, Urbex Street Photography (facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556960426994)where I upload more selected photos. Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE as well as SHARE my videos and Facebook Pages Thank You
I was up there in the 70s, but you know the thing. Bliskn fall up steps. Don't hit your head too many times on the way down. Maga Republicans. But you know jack. I’ve got hairy legs. Grab my dog's tail. Where are my dogs. Wait, I’m not Joe. I really was there, I think. I know I was.
I'm glad that you enjoyed them. I had pland of going back and getting some inside videos of the what was left of the main plant, but have not since had time to do so. I wonder how much is has been taken down since these videos
We did see where some homeless was camping out, but there was no one home at the time. I do not remember the area being bad at all, just poor and run down from what i remember.
The neighborhood is called drexel in Jefferson township I live there and went to that school when it was just a middle school 5-8 blairwood was 1-4 didn't go to the highschool but my sister's did
Sure them are vents? Not lights with a deflector on them? Usually they have a maintainer on the battery so when you kill the switch and go shore power it keeps the battery up. that block heater should go ti shore power.
The lights where small round visible lights, I am pretty sure you could see the vents from underneath the body, but do not remember now. Yes, there was an inverter that could be pugged into with a 20amp 110volt plug, I did get that working and the block heater was plugged into an orange extension cord that plugged into the inverter/shore power. I unhooked that extension cord as it was not ran to my liking as you would have to open the inverter cover to unhook the glow plugs if you did not want them plugged in. My preference was to have the glow plugs set up as a "normal" with the designated plug up front in the grill area. Thanks for watching
I am sure that was part of it, plus I think I read that someone actually died on top of it, hit my lightning or something like that. Yeah, i've been to a lot of "haunted" places, never seen anything. I think ghosts are afraid of me LOL..
No Brother Scott Explores "Even though the previous people may not have been successful, that place still has potential to be very successful given the right ownership. It has great bones, ven though the wiring and other damage has been done
I would think that it would be cheaper to tear it down and start over due to building regulations, codes and amount of damage due to neglect. But anything can be restored with enough money....
@@ScottExploringI live in Ca and I’m actually looking into purchasing this property in order to create either a rehabilitation facility with resources for community or I’m going to turn it into a multifamily home, living in complete gymnasium and adding a pool as well.
for anyone who lives near or who has gone to this school, do you remember how many classrooms there are? I live in San Diego and was thinking about purchasing this property. I'm going to visit soon, but I was wondering, how many classrooms. I understand that there is damage to the roof and some cosmetic damage which is to be expected. Also what is the area like?
I wouldn't be surprised if this place has been torn down, it was 3 years since I was there and looked to be abandoned maybe 10 years before I was there...
Where was Kingsbury? I just googled the Indiana Ammo plant, and it said it was the worlds largest. Maybe Kingsbury was later or earlier? Let me know so I can maybe some day, if I ever get time go and check it out. Or at least read about it.. thanks for the info...
I have visited the cemetery many times. The cemetery was originally located along Winchester Road across from Speedway. The horses remains were reloated to this location about 10 years ago when the development of Hamburg Pavilion began. I was very fortunate to get visit the original loaction of the cemetery and take photographs before it was relocated.
I found out about the relocation after this video. For some reason I did my research after the video, completely backwards I know!! That is good you where able to visit the original site and document it before it was relocated...Thanks for the info and for watching
My Gr Gr Grandfather was with the K. Company 5th Light Artillery from Pennsylvania he reenlisted at Bridgeport near the end of the war, was sent to Tampa for a few months then to Key West until end of his enlistment February 1867
I went there when it was Radcliff I lived at the end of that road new everybody on that street I was actually there when you held up that proficiency test from 97 I was actually in that group. They later change the school to a charter school was ripping off the state I believe adding children that wasn't even there using fake names but I really don't know much about that
Hey Eric! I live in San Diego but I was looking at buying this property, what do you think. I'd like to bring a gym and other amenities or possibly turn it into an apartment complex. do you remember how many classrooms?
Robert Strader is the former owner who willed the land to the state of Kentucky. My family lived on that land in the early 1970s and my father, older brother, and older cousin worked the farm for Mr. Strader.
This school was closed because nearly half the students didn't exist and over a million had been spent for those imaginary student's education. This was while it was a charter school, and their testing results were also problematic because I don't know how you provide testing for students that don't exist. Previously it was a public school. The school was shut down by an auditor and it took year or so to be turned over for prosecution. The student records should have been removed by the state to protect privacy.
@@TedClayton-cc8pu It was previoiusly a public school. Then the city closed it and sold to General Chappie James Leadership Acadamy, a charter school. From 2014 to 2017 the records were audited and found half the students were fake. Sorry I didn't see the notification sooner.
Scott, I was the pastor of Forks Church from 2013-2019. The cemetery is rich in history with several Revolutionary War Veterans as you noticed. I would also mentioned Rev. Burdette Kemper was the 3rd pastor of Forks of Dix River Baptist Church and served there for almost 50 years. During his ministry, the church grew to an attendance of over 500 on Sunday mornings. One interesting fact about the cemetery is the actually filled though many of the gravestones are no longer marking graves. No one has been buried in the cemetery since the 1950’s. Also in the back of the cemetery, there is a large unmarked section of the cemetery that contains graves of slaves whose markers were supposedly removed by someone after emancipation. Another interesting fact is if you go to the very back of the cemetery to the left of the big metal building, there is a garden tomb area with a mass grave in it that contains victims of polo and tuberculosis from the early 1900’s I believe. It’s is a beautiful section of the cemetery during the spring time. The church hosted a Easter Sunrise Service at the garden tomb every year.
You are in the newer part. If you drive on past this, theres an older part with much older graves in the back outside of the fence. This cemetery has been dubbed one of the most haunted places in KY.
I found out about the older part after I was there, I think someone else had mentioned it as well. I had plans to go back, but it so far has not happen.. Yeah, I have heard that is is one of the most haunted places in Ky, forgot where I heard that, again after I was there. Thanks for watching
@ScottExploring I really enjoy it. It's a shame seeing these places tore down and we do not have the manufacturing capability. I oversaw the production of the AT-4 DISPOSABLE Bazooka. The government spent millions bringing this weapon to the US to manufacture. My team an I spent weeks in Kaarlstadt and Venoker Sweden learning how to make this weapon. We then built all the machines to manufacture plus took group 3A at JAAP which had cows walking thru it , spending millions to get the 672 acre & 1 1/4 mile production line ready. Now this weapon is back being manufactured in Sweden. Plain stupid. With vendors an all it was roughly 900 jobs (good paying). Our only manufacture of TNT now was in Eastern Ukraine. There is a US distributor. Holstein in TN makes RDX but for octol/ tnt we are screwed.
@@byronscherer4986 Our Government is very good at wasting money, no wonder we are 69 gazillion bucks in debt.... Oh look spell check says gazillion is a word, I thought I made that up LOL!!!!!!
This arsenal was just under 19000 acres. JAAP outside Wilmington IL was just under 35000 acres making it much bigger than Indiana. JAAP made TNT plus 9 manufacturing sites. 4 of those sites were on 700 acre plots. There were 318 bunkers at JAAP Please try to get in JAAP before it's all tore down
I had plans to do more videos here, before this one is all torn down, plus the one in WV. I am not sure if the JAAP is the one I found in IL on google or not, that was a couple years ago. I am not able to do any more videos due to my work, plus going alone is a bit dangerous and I know no one that will accompany me. Thanks for the info and recommending for a new spot to video, and thanks for watching.
That's good that you was able to spend time with your grandfather. We can learn a lot from the old folks. To bad mine all died when I was very young....
hello, the fuel tank and augers are used to make AN-FO. Ammonia Nitrate and Fuel oil. commonly used in quarries to backfill holes when blasting to make the explosion more powerful when filled in with explosives. You can go to where they load it on the trucks and see it laying on the ground. Dont smoke near it though!
I live in this crap town..., but not this part of it , 2023. Nazi Governments run the Burbs. AmericUH is finished. Slow socialist death all around. Class of 69 here , YA'LL. 3 dual major college degrees +++. I hate My U S S A Governments for this PLAN of FREE TRADE. thorough 2023. BTW... sounds like inner city Catholic progressiveism.... OMG 2012 shutdown........... I had run off to ridiculous eastern Ohio by then.
