brilliant & gorgeous of you
to even see & then take the opportunity to bag this point too
i for one passed right by it last month & never even imagined it
evidently it would be harder to swim for pae than for men
but i wonder if it might be safe & readable enough here to ride the thread
of the stream thru the point
for a class b absolute visit also

>September 17, 2000 - The easternmost point in Pennsylvania is on the west
>bank of the Delaware River about 800 meters northeast of the New Jersey -
>New York - Pennsylvania tri-state. I approached this point by exiting
>I-84W at the Matamoras, PA exit. At the bottom of the exit ramp I turned
>right (NE) onto Pennsylvania Avenue and then right (SE) onto 10th Street
>at a fruit and vegetable stand. I followed 10th Street until it ended at
>Airport Park, as defunct landing strip shown on the topo map is now
>called. At the southeast end of the landing strip a road continues down
>the river bank with the promise of easy traveling but this hope is
>quickly dashed by an earthen barricade at a small bridge. I continued on
>foot along the riverbank road, alway taking the fork that stayed closest
>to the water. Near the objective the road becomes a frayed end of foot
>trails leading various dierctions through grass and weeds. Boots and long
>pants are highly recommended due to numerous potholes, poison ivy, and
>briars. The water was running high during my visit so I had to retreat
>from my first shore access and try further upstream and closer to the
>objective. The easternmost "point" is ambiguous because there is a length
>of perhaps 200 meters of shoreline running nearly north and south. I
>suspect the exact easternmost point will be located at various points
>along this stretch under different water conditions. Using my compass and
>sighting a north-south line, I identified a small peninsula of rocks as
>the easternmost point and took several photos. Across the river and
>slightly downstream from the objective, headstones can been seen in the
>Laurel Grove Cemetery. The NJ-NY-PA tri-state stone is at the tip of the
>cemetery peninsula.
