All Things Joey
To travel is to learn. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles – this category focuses on all of the trips I have taken and had the good fortune to document.
Skytop had several Father’s Day Activities and one of them was axe throwing.
I always wanted to try axe throwing and every time I go to one of these places I end up missing it or doing something else. Not this time.
Included in this video are some general rules and strategy.
PS: Our opponents Dave and Doug were nice people, I hope they find this video.
Another day at Skytop Lodge.
This morning we decided to go for a hike with the kids. We heard rumors of a waterfall trail and sure enough we found a path to Indian Ladder Falls… but not without drama…
This was a very picturesque trail and easy for small children (as you will see in the video).
My friends and family spend a few days at Skytop Resort up in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.
In this video we show what is going on at the resort’s activity lake and we let young Cole free with the Go Pro.
While the footage is not steady, the comments are priceless.
My friends and I vacationed at a cabin we first discovered 14 years ago in Thurmont, Maryland. We had some drinks, enjoyed the local foods, and did a few hikes at Catoctin Mountain Park.
This vlog features two attractions (kind of). The first is the location of a sunk concrete ship built in 1919.
The SS Atlantus was only in operation for 2 years before it was decommissioned. In 1926, the ship was scheduled to be sunk to help create a ferry dock. But in June of that year a storm broke the ship free and it ultimately sank in the wrong position.
After visiting the Atlantus, we attempted to find the Cape May “Ghost Tracks” at Higbee Beach. The tracks were not visible for over 8 decades, but were rediscovered in 2014.
We visited another WW2-era structure in the Cape May area. This building is Fire Control Tower #23.
According to Cape May MAC:
Built in 1942, the tower was one of 15 towers that helped aim batteries of coastal artillery, stretching from North Wildwood, N.J. to Bethany Beach, Del. Four were in Cape May County, N.J.—the towers located in North Wildwood and Wildwood Crest were torn down and a third tower is located inside Cape May’s Grand Hotel, Beach and Philadelphia avenues. Fire Control Tower No. 23 is on land now part of the Cape May Point State Park.
Due to somewhat longer lines and unexpected crowding, we opted not to go inside the structure, but like most things back then… it was built to last… so maybe next time.
