I used to live in that big white house beside the furnace. It was before the interstate opened up. I raised my three daughters there for many years. This video brought back so many good memories, it's making my heart ache. It was a fantastic place for kids and me. We used to walk passed the furnace to a big culvert that went under the interstate and hike those woods. The front porch was serenity, I could hear the creek from my bedroom. I could tell you many things about that house. I'm sure it's not the same any more. Thank you for the memories, be still my aching heart.

Great video. The tree stump in the cemetery is a forgotten symbol often meaning a life cut short. It may also mean the person was a member of the Woodmen of the World which was a life insurance company pretending to be a fraternal order. On Georgia's grave was the Gates of Heaven which became popular after the Civil War thanks to a book that said the gates of heaven swing both ways allowing spirits to visit grieving loved ones on earth.

The creek is Simpson Creek. The little store with the gas pumps was owned by Richard Knick and you were correct, the home right next to it was where he and his wife Rosa lived. The big fancy home with the motel was owned by the people who originally owned the whole furnace operation, stacks and all. The house you were in front of by the twin brick stacks and just across the bridge where the man waved was my grandmothers house. It was built in 1826 I believe and served as the bank, post office and general store for the people who worked at Longdale Furnace. It still has a steel vault from it's days as a bank that runs from the ground to the second floor. I think the furnace shut down in 1911 and my grandmother bought it in the mid to late 1940's, even now, that home remains very special to me. My aunt Betty Jean Dean (a super nice lady) owns my grandmother's home now. She's the daughter of Richard and Rosa Knick. At one time nearly everyone in Longdale was related to me, but nearly all have died now. Most of them are buried in that little cemetery across from the church you stopped at. I think those tree stumps you saw were petrified wood. Me and 2 friends did go all the way through that cave you went in when I was a teen, it's tight in places and super dark, but comes out on the other side of the mountain. No way I'd try that today, LOL

Adam, The car you couldn't figure out what it was is a 4th generation Chevy Impala(1964-1970). In Woodward Cave in central Pennsylvania the temperature is 40-45° in the summer. It can be 80°+ outside but you walk 20 into the cave and it drops to 40s. Also in north central Pennsylvania there's a Grand Canyon.
