A pond in the wood 20yd long * 10yd wide. Not shown on the map, but visible by satellite. I was floundering in the wood from here on, trying to find a way north to NJ 25 26, and resorted to leaving a trail of broken twigs to guide me back. This failed me, and in the end I had to climb a 7' high gate in a deer fence. I'm getting too old for these games.
