Or maybe it drifted there on one of the big flooding events which apparently happen there.

I looked on Historical Aerials. Not there in 2002, but is there in 2006, and no trails to it.

One from 1930, really lost by time. Have to wonder what happened to that river.

Nice! I find it hard to believe they put one there. Have to see what way they were going in.

There is this thing, somewhat reflective of light, and rectangular. It keeps showing up on some aerials way out there in that area. First thought was a duck blind, but it seems so very inaccessable. Odd.

The plan.

Hey, I'm kinda scared now, there's a giant spider out there waiting.

Okay Gabe, I'll let you know Friday afternoon. I am sometimes lucky to see the grandkids on the weekend, and so I'll be monitoring that.

Whoops, decided I should not risk opening the large infected cyst on my back, plus I start a course of Doxicycline for it in the morning. I've never had that antibiotic, so unsure if my stomach will not revolt. Maybe next week if the weather is good and the water is not over my knees.

I need to get out of the house, so tomorrow's a good day to see what I can see there. Just something tangible to do. I plan to be over there near Rockwood around noon if anybody wants to join me.

I think Al might of taken us to that spot (or what he tought was) on the Manumuskin. Upstream from the railroad on the west side of the creek. I wonder if Daniel Heisler's family started Heislerville.

By the way, that was 2007, by 2020 it was just a memory.

How about this happy roadster just to the Northeast. Do you think, when he got out there in sedge land, his sphincter tightened up and he made a hasty retreat? One of two reasons he did an about face: 1) he suddenly got into an area that even he recognized is special and pristine, or 2) he was...

Yes, I think the 1949 is too monotypic (for lack of a better word) for that area. It is mixed in there. Undulating.

Gabe, this 2020 aerial gives credence to your theory. A straight line blockage at the crossing. Odd that an elevation change is not shown on any of the lidars.

I was going by the topo lines, or abscense of them. They are 10 feet, and there is only a 30 and a 40 in the neighborhood. 1953 Atsion Quad.

This topo says the same. I think, really, that the upland here is only 10 feet higher in elevation than the stream. And this is a dune.

You are thinking of aggregate John. I don't like that idea, that small a hole way the hell out there (as Fred Brown would say it) is not commercially feasible, and in this case, they didn't get much. I'd say aggregate is readily available at any of the sand mines as a by product of digging for...

That is an interesting supposition Watson. I'm going to field test it. Thing is, I only see two very narrow trails up to the spot. That may be motorcyclists going up to see what it is (time and time again, maybe?).

Somebody told me about the sand mines....they would scoop out an area about 40' long and eventually 6' deep to see if the sand was worth mining. I saw a lot of that in Lacey township.
