The 20th Anniversary Of My (Other) YouTube Channel Created On July 30, 2006

It is July 30, 2026.  On this day, twenty years ago, I created my first YouTube channel.  Today is the 20th anniversary of that channel.  This was in the pre-Google acquisition days in 2006.  Fortunately, the channel still exists.  Unfortunately, I no longer have access.  I abandoned it.  The original upload of my very popular George Washington Tomb video is there.  You can see the theme of traveling and going to historical sites still exists.  The 2000s, 2010s and 2020s...three different decades that I have uploaded this kind of content.

This video will show you that page from the very old days of YouTube:

The Gravesite Of American Revolution Patriot Henry Reeves In Maurice River Township, New Jersey

Today, July 03, 2026, for this American Revolution 250th Anniversary July 04 Weekend, I drove to the Maurice River Friends Quaker Burial Grounds in Maurice River Township, New Jersey.  While there, I visited the grave of Henry Reeves.  Henry Reeves was not a Soldier.  He did sign an oath of faith and allegiance to his state in opposition to the King of Great Britain.  Due to this, he is considered a Patriot of The American Revolution.  In addition to the battlefield, the homefront was very important to the war effort.  For this Revolutionary War Semiquincentennial weekend, I found it necessary to honor those who were committed to the cause of independence.  I wore multiple layers of clothing in my 1700s style attire.  What was the temperature and real feel today?  102 degrees?  105 degrees?  107 degrees?
