Shepherdstown West Virginia is the starting point for this journey down the river and up the creek to the bloody Antietam battlefield. History, adventure, nature, and exploration. That's what this video is all about. I start out in Shepherdstown West Virginia and travel by boat down the Potomac river and up the Antietam creek to see the bloody Burnside's bridge and nearby Snavely's ford on the Antietam battlefield in Sharpsburg Maryland.

As a midwesterner who has only read about the civil war and briefly visited a few sites back in highschool, I loved the history facts you gave is while actually being at the spot. I love watching you find relics don't get me wrong but when you share your knowledge with us it is truly enjoyable!

@justgonnastay 8 лет назад

It's amazing how you are traveling through a (relatively) highly populated area, yet the trees and bushes make it look like wilderness.

@mlbrooks4066 12 дней назад

I flew from Denver to Baltimore last week. The guy beside me was from Idaho and had never been east of Denver before. As we landed and he saw all the trees and the bay, he was blown away. He had no idea the east was so full of green trees.

@571951rhoehn1 8 лет назад

Spent my entire life in the west but still loved reading and studying the Civil War. My first written report in Jr Hi was on the only Civil War battle in AZ. Only one casualty! So for you say (so casually) we're going to SEE Burnside Bridge, the look meant a lot to me! Thanks so much for the "trip".

@SaddlebagPreacher 8 лет назад

Really appreciate the views of historical places that never get shown anywhere else. Kinda of like going in the back door away from the tourist traps.

@lasker31 7 лет назад

It's 20 degrees Fahrenheit without the windchill today so I'm kicking back watching your videos. So far this has been my favorite. Love the history. Thanks for posting.

I wish you were my history teacher when I was younger, you make it sound so exciting and interesting!

@williamanderson7209 8 лет назад

general Burnside was my great great uncle. awesome to see this stuff since I'm in arizona and couldn't see it myself. love your channel

@nigehampson1134 8 лет назад

I am SO going to import one of these boats to England when funds will allow. There are SO many shallow rivers and abandoned canals in the UK that normal boats simply cant get to. One of these boats would open up all those areas......cant wait to start some new adventures!!

@mlbrooks4066 12 дней назад

I volunteered at Antietam years ago at Burnside Bridge. Swallows nest under there too and they would only tolerate so many tourists before they started divebombing them. I saw a wild mink at the bridge once too.

@amesikesmembership2528 5 лет назад

Just watched this. Sorry to be a late commentator. My late brother and I took some kayaks down the Antietam back in the mid 90's with our youngest kids. Had a picnic lunch at the Burnside bridge. Thanks for bringing the memory back.

@salliejarman9389 8 лет назад

I loved this vlog. Please, please keep doing what you are doing. I' m a fresh water girl. Born and raised on the rivers in Alabama. Boy your vlog takes me back. Precious memories. Like the boat a lot. A friend from Georgia.

Awesome little adventure, thanks for taking us along! I have visited the Antietam Battlefield, it's an amazing place...

@ishedski7270 8 лет назад

I got sweaty palms watching you run the rapids. Thought you might bottom out.

@jml32788 8 лет назад

I had a feeling you were in MD from all your other videos. The landscape always looks very familiar to me. I've fished many of the waters you hunt in. My parents own a small horse farm in Boonsboro on the Antietam Creek by Devils Back Bone. I've fished all up and down the Antietam, Monacacy and Potomac.

@stephaniehowell3129 8 лет назад

I love how you still went looking for stuff even though this video was to show around. true treasure seeker adventurer!! Also some History knowledge ! :) love your videos . I watched all of them and my husband says I have a crush on you because I fall asleep to your videos and I told him I truly love the enthusiasm you have on your adventures and it's just soothing to fall asleep to this. I have bought a bounty hunter metal detector and gone searching for old coins and in the river where I live .It was fun I'll have to put them up soon on to support women who do this . :)

@gunsndogs49 8 лет назад

Yep , more caves and tours like this . Fun and interesting by Kayak .Thanks .

@WoodisGood82 8 лет назад

@georgerussell8452 8 лет назад

Thank you for the trip. I reside in New Burnside, Illinois. ( pop. 250) So this was quite enlightening, We have been to Burnside Bridge, but the view from the water is totally different.

@stephaniemamatree5973 8 лет назад

I love history..area looks sooo beautiful. lucky u

@dabprod 2 года назад

I love that Mo Kyi kayak. Have some great trout rivers in NY State where I live and one of those would get an old guy like me into places nobody can get to. Looks like great fun too.

@itsmedavearoo 8 лет назад

More caves? Yes please!

@candysantillo3325 8 лет назад

You are a wonderful tour guide.Not only the way that you point out places and things of interest but your delivery also holds ones attention. I think that's why Id asked you once if you'd ever been a teacher. My heart was in my mouth a few times seeing those large rocks and the end of a large pipe sticking out of the swift water while you were going up that Im positive would have done considerable damage if not skillfully avoided.Does your wife ever yell at you for taking chances when she sees you videos?

@ComplicatedCupcake 8 лет назад

That was fun! Thanks for sharing. Esp love the birds and nature.

@Roosterdoodler 6 лет назад

Thanks for the history lesson! There was a little town just south of where I grew up called cement for the same reason! Awesome boat!

@gregkerr725 8 лет назад

That was cool. Have you ever seen videos of kayakers going down the Etowah river here in Georgia to the old mile long mine tunnel which goes under a mountain where the river makes a loop and then rejoins the river after the river swings back around the mtn! It's an adventure that's got you written all over it!

@gregkerr725 8 лет назад

closest town is probably dawsonville........beautiful river as well.

@wartillthendanimation 8 лет назад

I think history is amazing, you can learn so much! And you can learn about the past, and the Revolutionary war, and the civil war, etc... It's just my favorite class at school. And I love learning more about history like world war 1 and 2. But I won't be able to learn about that till next year.

@newlifeofjosh9732 8 лет назад

Impressive boat. I like how you give a history lesson whilst traveling. lol CROC in the river.

@anselb2000 8 лет назад

Thanks for the great train video sections...in our area they run big jet boats up the Current and Black Rivers in water so shallow you would swear no boat could navigate.

@mgtow6450 8 лет назад

So you must live in Missouri ? Johnson Shut-Ins ?

@anselb2000 8 лет назад

They have national kayak and canoe races at Silver Mines and Johnson Shut-Ins and of course tourists have literally ruined the Current River. Floating all those rivers by yourself with no crowd is an experience to remember forever. I like what you accomplish going out by yourself making your videos. Making the videos is great, but I know you would be out there by yourself, video or no video! Yes, we want cave videos!

@jonfrey8679 8 лет назад

What an epic journey.

@thebatzinator 8 лет назад

I live in Taylor County, West Virginia. Little town called Grafton, its kind of famous. Mother's Day started here and we have the longest running celebration for Memorial's Day, 150 years. There is 2 National Cemeteries here. Its a nice little town. I think this video was very interesting. Some background I didn't know about. Thanks for sharing.

@basshumbler5886 7 лет назад

@dianeholling455 7 лет назад

My brother-in-law lived in McDonald Pa. and he used to metal detect in the rivers like you do. In Florida on the beach sand he found a diamond ring, and a Baum-Merseau watch. Really expensive.

@Quentin217 3 года назад

I was on holiday in that area in very late June or very early in July, 1991. I was very close to where Antietam Creek flows into the Potomac, but I do not recall if I were upstream or downstream. I decided that I would swim the Potomac at that point. The river was quite wide. It seemed like well over a furlong. What surprised me was that I really did not have to swim very much. Most of the way I just waded in water belly button to shoulder high. The water was warm and clean.

@SixRavenEight 7 лет назад

wheeeeee that was fun !

@antoniovecellio5932 8 лет назад

Aquachigger Your videos are great! From watching your videos I know that you are very knowledgeable about The Civil War.Could you do a video on the things that most people might not know about the Civil War or a in-depth history about it?

@yellowboy1866 8 лет назад

Thanks for the great boating trip.

@overloadedoutdoors7582 8 лет назад

The cable in the water is from the old bridge that the tore down a few years ago when they built the new bridge we fish the stretch of the river all the time great video

@13bravoredleg18 8 лет назад

Two days ago I dug up a Confederate Calvary Saber! It is missing the hilt and is bent but the steel is in perfect condition.41inches total length.I dig everything up in a limestone bed so it protects the metal. The blade also has a continual fuller and no markings. I'm very happy with my very first sword!!!
