RE: (erielack) Stoney Point, PA
bradley
no if you follow the line from stony point (south and west)you can see how it goes north just before the j&M and ppg businesses. you can see the water towers and the area looks like a subdivision . from what i have been told that area was full of orchards and when they where taken for the bomb factory many local farmers lost land. there is a wye or might have been a wye just after the switch off the main. btw i miss spoke it was kow not koa my bad.

Or closer to the old Geneva Team Track? ( I know seems weird, but the ZTS map says there was an old team track out there in the countryside)
