One of my great great grandfather's was a prisoner there. He had bad health and was sick but survived because one of his guards waa his cousin! The cousin supplied extra food and medicine as he could so he survived the rest of the war in the prison camp

Naw it definitely should be fuck yall

Southern Boyz know How-2 dish it out.

Read the book!

I heard once that my grandfather had climbed it, though I don't know how much of it he climbed. In his Will I remember he wanted his ashes to be spread over the mountain. I guess he climbed the whole way up, or he just really liked that mountain. *his ashes have not been spread. I assume it is not allowed.

Wallace Beery!

I'm wondering if there were any fossils there in the first place and was it seeded as a way to get it as much government funding as possible. I've seen a lot of scams involving local governments... one being a land grab where the town of Kinston nc wanted funding for an airport that was not wanted or needed and they went as far as taking land saying it was condemn, then putting s ditch next to it, and claimed it was no longer condemned... yet they would not allow the original land owner to put a ditch in... I'm wondering if this place was someone wanting to fleece government contract, and funding by finding a few fossils tossing them in a big pile and saying it needed to be a multi million dollar government investment there... I guess we will never know for sure.

Nice. In 2016 I did 16 parks.

I just moved to Columbia and found out that Congaree is only 30 minutes away! I went after work on a weekday around 6 p.m. and there was nobody else but me on the elevated boardwalk trail, it was absolutely magical. I enjoyed my quick after work hike more than I did some of the busier trails in the more popular national parks just because there was no noise at all - perfect for listening to the soundscape. Highly recommend going at an off time and immersing yourself in Congaree! The mosquitos were not bad relative to my experience in other swampy areas in the Southeast.

New planet of the apes looking 🔥

I have just discovered your videos... They are great, I am so into National parks. Your so passionate, you make it interesting. Thanks, I look forward to seeing more. Thanks!

Stolen but not forgotten.

IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY THERE WAS A REFERENCE TO THAT PRISON IN ONE EPISODE WHERE SOME OLD GUY THAT WENT THERE WENT CRAZY AND❤❤❤

It's a shame how little we value marsh and desert ecosystems in our society. I wish we cared a little bit more to preserve these pristine places.

Him & Allen Dulles assassinated Kennedy

Yep, they broke it. They broke the Colorado and the Mississippi. What next. When you only think of cattle and orange groves, you get the mess we have. Cattle and oranges aren't native to Florida. What the heck are they doing there?

good job young buck!😁

FBI. Holland. Family member. Prob Barry. I see dead children. Thousands of them.

Quite a lot!! Adding Kenai Fjords to my bucket list for sure.

All they ever have to say is "national security" and anything that you say after becomes irrelevant.

And just think, we are taught to idolize the monster who started that horrible war.

I absolutely enjoyed your video

The proposed legislation (Senate bill 4216 and House Bill 8182) attempts to address the feasibility issue by paring back the expanded park boundaries to cut out the sections that would require purchases from multiple private landowners. The park service’s recent comments on 5/15/24 at the Senate Energy and Natural Resources subcommittee on National Parks indicate that they would like to see the proposed bill amended to extend co-management opportunities to additional indigenous groups who also see the Ocmulgee corridor as ancestral land along with the Muskogee (Creek) people; but, NPS otherwise supports the intent of the bill.

Short drive

My 3rd Gr-Grandfather, Lewis McCrory was there. After being released he boarded the ill-fated paddle wheel boat The Sultana whose boiler later exploded while traveling on the Mississippi River. He survived THAT too! Wish i could have a conversation w/him about his experiences! i'm very proud to be one of his descendants!

A wonderful production!

Wow, I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing your travels, it brings back some wonderful memories of my own travels.

A lot of the wilderness could be preserved as a contiguous national park without diminishing the communities and systems in the rest of the park. The money paid by the federal government could also serve as a grant for new state parks and preserves

My Dad took me to the Ocmulgee Mounds a lot as a kid. Some of my favorite memories with him were late mornings spent hiking around.

I still think National Parks should be Monumental and universally recognized as grand scenery. I do agree with you that peripheral lands surrounding monuments should be preserved and that biodiversity deserves to be protected, but under other designations. I think an expansion of National Preserves and National Rivers systems would do better at crafting a niche for all the diverse ecosystems outside of the monumental image of the parks. National Parks would serve as the first step into the natural world, which should lead people to understand the ecosystems surrounding the monumental landscape as well as being led to other NPS sites, then to appreciation of the NFWS or USFS sites in their area and understanding the ecosystems across the continent. Monumentalism is not the “end all and be all” of conservation, but it is a worthy niche deserving of special status, if at least only for the public perception among common people all around the world

$300 Million isn’t really a huge amount for the federal government. One highway intersection costs that much

With cheap energy we could possibly water them and fill springs

I might go there this summer, I will have to tell my parents about it. It looks very pretty! This is only about 2 hours away from my house, and we can go when we go to the beach, we might stop here because it is on the way to our beach house! If we do go, I can’t wait to see the animals there! Thank you so much! 😊

Great America

Flooding ruins and artifacts has nothing to do with the environment.

Aluminum barely breaks 50 cents a pound today. Clean, bulky. And that thing looks WAY more than six pounds. Six pounds is a plastic gallon milk jug. Water is about seven pounds per water, more dense than fat. That isnt a milk jug. It's one of the lightest metals used for aircrafts. The geometry of the monument. Is almost straight lines vertical. Cmon. And it has impurities.

Great video! I realize I’m very late to commenting but I think it would be interesting if you did a video on an overview of the NPS units and sites in DC, as there are tons. A lot of standard city parks and even traffic circles are under NPS jurisdiction in DC. Love your channel!

So the millions who live near the Everglades and dump their millions of gallons of toxic chemicals into the water system has nothing to do with the issue?

so what you're saying is Grand Teton was a pyrric victory. we got the park but at too high a cost

why does crater lake look like lake Tahoe?

Climate Change is code for Overpopulation

I'm so glad you did a video on this amazing park. I visited in 2008 & it was an incredible experience walking thru this impressive forest. One thing I'll never forget is hearing barred owls calling to each other at 4pm as we walked along the boardwalk.

The Midwest had the Kankakee Basin which had been completely drained. I wish we had someone like Marjory Douglas to save it.

the short answer is THE GOVERNMENT GOT INVOLVED.

Interesting but just another mass murderer who was called a politician. 🇻🇳
