Come see the FAMOUS Mohnton Navy Yard and Lake Valmont. (VALley
nestled between 2 MOuNTains) It was a seven acre square lake.
During World WarII many a battleship was floated up the Wyomissing
and repairs were made to the ships. Alas, Lake Valmont no loner
exists. A heavy rain caused at least 6 dams upstream to swell
beyond their capacities and rupture. The raging water was too much
for Lake Valmont's dam and it too gave way! See what remains! Take
a walk over to the mighty Wyomissing, close your eyes and image the
battleships!!!! To log this find-----answer the following questions
and send via separate email the answers.
1. N40 17.263 W075 58.693 What does the sign say? What is rule

2. N40 17.261 W075 58.662 What is this? When was it built?
3. N40 17.258 W075 58.631 What is here?
4. N40 17.145 W075 58.733 After crossing bridge look ahead of
you and a bit to your left! Weird NJ step aside!

I stopped to look at the ship yard after a hike in Nolde Forest. Mohnton has a very interesting manufacturing history. Thanks for the tour.
