But I stopped at N37° 42.900' W79° 20.401' to look at the reservoir to the south.

I'm attempting to locate it in reference to the line of duty death of a police officer at this location that occurred in 1923: http://www.odmp.org/officer/19180-patrolman-louis-donnel-wilmethChris Cosgriffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312342052693009886noreply@blogger.com
