    As someone who grew up in the Baltimore area, I was unaware of Daniels. I have visited quite a few ghost towns over the years, mostly out west. Thanks for sharing this story.

    Oh man I'm so excited to see this. I hiked out to Alberton Church for the first time around 20 years ago. I'm glad to see that it still looks the same. There is so much treasure buried away in those hills. Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed watching your video and learning about a place I've never visited. Looking forward to the next adventure.

    The car, or what there is of it, is a '59 Rambler. Not enough left to tell what trim level, but being a 6, probably a Custom since base and Deluxe models didn't have any side trim.
    Fun video, especially the history.

    Thanks for all the info. I have hiked around there before without knowing most of the back story.
    If you want to see a nearby mill town that is still sort of around, check out Dickeyville in Baltimore City not far from where rt 70 ends.

    It's probably been close to 20 years, but at one time there was a small tanker truck in the park. It had floated down into the Glen Artney Picnic Shelter area (IIRC) from miles upstream when Agnes hit. Potapsco State Park is fantastic. At least it was when I used to trail run in there when I lived in Elkridge.

    Great history! Weren’t there some houses down past the Pentecostal church as well? I dimly remember driving back into this town in the early 60s. I also worked on one of the crews clearing the river of downed trees between Daniels and Sykesville after Hurricane Agnes. Do you have a book written or in progress?
    Thanks very much!

    I can send you a picture of the lady on the back of the church from when I was there in 2020. So people can see the majority of the masterpiece

    Ely could be pronounced like the city in Minnesota: EEE-lee
    Like Mr McFeely, but without the "McF".
