    Dams on Buckshutem Creek

    Could it be the LIDAR is seeing through the muck and moss to the sand pan under the mud? Could it be seeing either and old road or sand berm piled on an old dam that is now buried under four or five ft of mud?It's soupy mud,perhaps it doesn't register as solid ground which believe me it isn't,

    Dams on Buckshutem Creek

    I followed a barely discernible ditch that may just have been a game trail to the waters edge.At that point it hit the dead water channel and disappeared.there was nothing visible across the water but grassy cedar humps and mud/That would be about the southern end of the western red line.So...

    Dams on Buckshutem Creek

    Questions about Lebanon Sites/Brendan Byrne State Forest

    The markers are pieces of slag, I haven't been there in probably fifteen years or more and had a helluva time finding them back then,probably couldn't find them again.They have no names,just pieces of slag half buried in the ground.

    Dams on Buckshutem Creek

    Dams on Buckshutem Creek

    Laurel Lake has been here for well over 200 years I believe and there is the remains of an old mill dam where gravelly run crosses battle lane (Would love to know how that road got it's name) As long as the lake has been there there are miraculously still cedar stumps under the dark waters.
