 that is no longer in use right over in here there used to be a little town called Ellaville and there used to be back over in there there used to be a plantation like a mansion that the 12th governor of Florida built and there used to be a sawmill here and there used to be it was a town that they also dealt with that turpentine and but there was a sawmill there and this was a little town at one time back over in here now there's railroad tracks right over there and the train ran right through the town and they used to have steamboats come and deliver deliver or pick up lumber and deliver supplies but it was named Ellaville Ella was one of his servants names so he named the town after his servant Ella so that's pretty neat so we're coming up here on the bridge I was zoomed in on that last part sorry about that but you can see this is it's not very wide but right over here to the right is the new bridge right down here to the right of the bridge is a house I think there used to be like a store or something over there I'll show you as we're going out some footage of there's a concrete structure back there and see there's the new bridge this is the Swanee River but there's a structure back there big concrete structure it's all covered in vines now but I'll I'll show that to you and right over there is the I didn't bring my drone because my drone has got issues that is the railroad bridge and it's still in use today yes yes no that is still in use today that's still a useful bridge and the pretty guys but again this is the Swanee River sorry about the wind got her she's using the old Sony the old Sony handy cam because our other camera messed up I got it apart I got to do some soldering on it where you plug the USB into to charge it popped out it's we've had problems since we had it with that thing you kind of had to hold the cord a certain way for it to charge and it finally just popped so you get that fixed but yeah it's not a very wide bridge now I'm not sure but I'll put a link in the description down below where you can read about this bridge now like I said it's supposed to be haunted now I don't know why there's some reflectors I don't know why it's supposed to be haunted I really couldn't bring much up on it but you know how stories are like a little peninsula out there now somewhere that might be somewhere not far from here is the width of kuchi maybe it breaks off into that I'm not positive but it's like a little peninsula out there and I'll take you over that way to as well to show you some different stuff there's a right over here is where the the that mansion was the governor's house and again I'll put the links in the description so you guys can find all the stuff out and read about it if you want because I'm not real sure about much or something out there in the water I don't know what it is but but I'll give you some dates and stuff here once we get over into that direction because there's still some ruins over there and somewhere right in there was the sawmill and we'll take you guys hiking back in there too so but it's very pretty here again the new bridge and I'm not sure what year see there's another one looks just like this only it's a little different up at the top sorry about the Sun it kind of goes up and it's kind of graffiti but it's just like this and a lot of people get them confused but we're going to take you to that bridge next it's not far from here so let me give you a view down through this way pretty long bridge very nice though very nice and we're at the end of it right here a lot of people come in this direction but there's like a little park over in there where we parked the truck at and I'll show that to you as well once we get back across there so it's pretty shady back in here nice and cool it's a hot day not sure what the temperature is there's expansion joints be down in there I don't know if I can get yeah maybe I can get down in there and I don't know if I can't I'll get down in there and show you another view of it if not yeah we can get down in here there's some of it there let's keep you rolling we're gonna get down here whoa damn it every time sorry about that I'm not walking through any spiders today if I can help it big hunk of steel there guys looks like wood but I show you that steel and asphalt and you can see over there on that pile on there at bridge and but you can see the old where they would measure how they could just look at that and tell you how high the water is 24 feet to the top from the letter or from the number one there so there's a picnic table the old concrete style picnic tables but again it is a little park over there now you haven't mowed it this year it looks like so not sure what's going on there look at this big rock guys isn't that cool awesome huh another big rock right there cable there look at that huge bolt man there's the remnants of an old building I can't remember for sure basketball hoops there old sign right there Gator Jacks full seafood selection and steaks alligator Jacks farm raised alligator the best anywhere now I don't know where that is it used to be down in here there's a building down there but this is private property so I can't take you down there but we'll take you over here we'll get back in the woods a little bit but this is all a concrete structure so I don't know what it used to be okay guys so it just got some information on the guy that lives in this house right here where you at in that house right there now this used to be a restaurant here now down below there they're still an old wine cellar but it's all boarded up and locked up down below see like I said that's all throw a picture of this what excuse me what it used to look like now he said 10 Ted Bundy that was one of his excursions and he says several people has died and what used to be that building there down in that wine cellar but he also said if you walk past there at night you can hear things and it just feels like somebody's watching you so that's pretty interesting so we got to talk to him and he says not a historian he don't know the years or anything like that but that's exactly but he does know for sure that down in that wine cellar people has been killed there and the house used to be an arcade now this this restaurant changed hands several times and the last time it was in a business over at the house right over there at the house there used to be like a little arcade in there like a little game room type thing so that's pretty interesting I thought I'd share that with you so that's pretty cool I know you can't really see the structure because of all the trees the foliage and stuff but that's what used to be there and we're going to take a walk back in through here if we can get through the foliage and there's something over here I want to show you too I'll show you real quick but yeah nice gentleman there's an older disabled found a whole older disabled gentleman lives in that house and he gets concerned and I guess people come up here late at night and steal stuff off of them I don't know why they do that but you know just people out here trying to you know live and so this is pretty cool now I don't know what this little chimney is for I think it may just be a part of the park I don't think it was part of the of the mansion it was a two-story mansion that was in here that was built by the 12th governor and I'll put a picture of the sign and you can read it I'll put a picture of the sign in right now that way you got more up to date than I am look at this guy he's not as big as the one we've got at the walk back in there there's picnic tables old concrete ones there's one right there bench here another picnic table down in there and there's one over here too bad they don't keep it up anymore I mean it's it's nice or yeah I've seen pictures of this place when it was mowed and taken care of and it was very very nice they're not even taking a trash out so I'm not sure what's going on there but yeah right over there he feels he didn't say the word haunted but he said it's very eerie when you walk past there at night he don't like to walk past there at night unless he has to so I found the same damn hole over there that's a hole I fell in twice right there okay so let's take a walk back in here see what we can see you guys this is the train trestle look at us see this platform that's a no-ship platform and if you would be on there in a train came you could stand off to the side of that so you wouldn't get hit by the train put them or four no this is not abandon hunt this is this is filling use today right over there is the river look at kind of curves better shot without the sun pretty cool huh yes onward down here I'm not sure what it was for maybe the the sawmill just to guess on my part maybe some kind of like a reservoir or something he's back there going wow it's a rope hanging in this tree right here but look at us so I'm guessing this may have been part of the sawmill it's way down in there huh like I said just to guess but you know what this may this I think this is a spring yeah I don't know if you're loud I mean swim wherever you want but I'm guessing this is a spring it's coming out of there so this was probably some type of reservoir see this splits off so that's the swanee over there I think this may be the whip with coochie in this cool guys that's really throwing a lot of water out of there so I'm guessing this was some type of reservoir look someone's had a rope here yeah another one over there I'll bet you they would swing off of that platform right there or this one out into the water like find out I got no way to get the rope though pretty cool though it's definitely a spring and man you can see how much water it is putting out this one taking my picture yeah definitely a spring so that might have been where they're drinking water was coming from pretty cool let's go check some more stuff out here's a remnant of something left over from the old town I'm guessing I guess I don't know what all this stuff is it's not marked so I'm not sure what that would have been and honey I don't know yeah there'd be all kinds of stuff lying around here I don't know what it is you have something here maybe an old well or something and right over here the giant cobweb so something these metal sticking out of holes there's a piece of metal on top of it that's some stonework there pretty cool the train bridge right through there like there was a gate here there's one on each side there's there's miles of trails back through here yeah there's probably a lot more remnants and through there we didn't really get off the trail so you guys want to go see the trestle let's walk up here and see the trestle right up there I'm under here because it's easier than walking on that stuff that she is walking on here I don't know if the camera can pick it up or not they're making all kind of racket okay don't think a lot of spiders out there guy there's the river it's one of your ever if I can yeah if I get down in here she guys the train trestle and these paths are very easy walking that wild them giant rivets I'm sure it's concrete inside there and if you look over there see part of the bridge I don't want to clear down the water but isn't it cool I'll show you the bridge now the train trestle still in use today awesome huh see up through there hi guys more to come a bunch of old cables there roll been there for a long time cool okay guys we're almost back to the truck and we're gonna call it right here and we're gonna go to the next one how's that okay okay you up for it not as much walking but took a hell of a hike that was a nice it very nice hike yeah I seen some neat stuff so I know there's more back in there yeah we're just not well you're not really dressed for today so we got Bruno he's done he's done pretty good though he walked the whole way didn't he yeah all right guys so I'm gonna say say bear the met the man legend gone for now
