Here is another view of the Old Half Way location from Bob's photo. This was developed in 1978. Notice the Mopar on the right with the trunk up.

Guy, I think that is the first lake, and looking back northwest from the way they came in. Back in those days nobody would try to drive a 68 road runner or coronet back there to the second lake. It was too hilly.
Check this out. I took a photo from the same location but slightly lower down the hill in about 1976 or so. I know where that is at and will go back one day and try to add a third photo to the mix.
Thanks for posting Mrs. Morgan’s photos. The first time I ever met her was on the road between Wells Mills and Brookville. I was about 14 and my friends and I thought we were in the middle of no where. We were amazed to run into any one especially two ladies. They had the dogs that are in the Bear Swamp Hill photo. I distinctly remember the Collie.
Guy, no, I don't see a dock. Below is why I think it could be the second lake. But, as shown in your photo, that is a similar cove across from the photographer, so it could be either one (in fact, I'm leaning in your favor now).
By the way, there is something unusual in the Hollow Field cemetery photo that is not a cross or the people. It is a symbol.
Bob,
Picture this. Your circle in the above photo is where the mopar was parked. Where the swimmer is would be the middle of my first posted photo, and I took the photo way to the left of your above photo. I say it is the first lake.

I'm with you except for one critical detail Guy. The person who took the photo in mine was standing pretty high on a hill, and that is the second lake. How would the mopar get down that hill?
You may be right.... but that end of the second lake looked different back then. This shows the dock and the cleared edge of the second lake. This was developed in 10/1978.

Slide 12--1973 (This is quite a thought-provoking slide that is sure to raise a lot of questions and make us doubt our currently held assumptions).
Easy one. To open the discussion I was there in 1973 and only remembered the one house being there. However, I was concentrating on the one house on the corner because people were living in it with chickens running all over the road. I was not really into old things back then and regret that.
