Did some stone searching today and found a few of them. Nothing special. We again visited another spung after noticing on aerial photos that sometime between 1970 and 1995 someone made a road right through it to get from one road to another. Most likely a dozer but it is hard to tell. The road appears to be no longer in use. In any event, we made it a point to visit it. I believe it may hold some nice plants so we are going to vist it often this year.

A hunter has been using it this year and right in the middle are rotting apples and a large pile of acorns. The acorns are sprouting.

Then we headed over to Penn State Forest to find out where the controlled burns were. I have been looking for a few stones from the 1700s there and was hoping they burned that area. Unfortunately, they have not. Along the way we stopped at the CCC camp to check if the burns give a better view of the concrete foundations of what may have been their water tower. The fire certainly opened the area up. There are 8 foundations.

I bet I know right where this meadow is.I"d post a link but not sure if you want it known. Can I treat this as a "Where is this"? or is it best kept secret? If it's where I think it is I used that ditch trail to access a Blueberry field that there was supposed to be a stone bordering but when i got there I discovered the stone actually should have set about 20 ft out into the bog and hence was gone and the bog encroaching on state ground by 20 ft.
