    Good grab, cyclejohn! For some reason I assumed that survey reference marker was across the street and never found it.

    So where's the next tag? Time for some ping-pong! :lol3

    I believe that's only the second Bruce in DE TOR. So that's a 1-to-1 bruce-to-grab ratio there, sloburban, not so good. :D

    Reguarding this tag: When my daughter and I rode there, I pulled up on the sidewalk to park(the same place Sloburban parked). As I was taking my photo a woman walked over from the corner house across the street. I thought she was coming to give me a hard time about parking on the sidewalk. When she walked over , she asked,"are you highpointers?" Apparently that is the name for folks who travel trying to visit the highest point in each of the states. This women's elderly mother lives in the corner house directly across the street. She knows quite a bit about this high point marker and it's history. If you have time to stop, I'll bet she would love to talk about it.

    This school was built more than 200 years ago. Evidence suggests that it may have been the first racially integrated public school in the state.

    Claymont Stone School, Philadelphia Pike and Darley Road, Claymont. The right half was built in 1805 and it's still here! Amazing. Here's the marker:

    Well I can't say I got Bruced as I never left to go get it but I looked up where it was and was going to get it after my chores were done. You beat me to it.

    I'll be working there Wednesday and contractor parking is within 100' of where you took that picture. Does it count if I get my work van in the picture?

    That'd be way cool, but we'd probably need a ruling from sloburban.

    If Will duplicates that picture with his work van I am going to accept it!

    The new location is more inline with the previous posts that were at historical locations.

    My question was rhetorical -- shortly after posting, I found it on Google. Thanks for the help, though!

    Sorry, too much time working in the sun (when not riding of course) the past couple of days.
