In York county you need a permit for the county parks ( which I have ). I’ve detected the parking lots. I’ve seen some of those sites. Let me know if you want to go sometime.mcars
You ever go to Spring Valley park? I see 3 old homesteads on the park lands.
I would be up for that. But I noticed much of that river front is posted. Was Andersons N or S of the Acomac Inn ?I wonder if you could get down to the old Anderson ferry landing that's at the Accomac Inn. It was used back in the colonial period from what I've read.
Anyway, I'd love to meet up and see what we can find. Usually have some free time on the weekends.
I have the permit as well. I overlaid a 1876 map over modern goggle earth map, and found the old home sites. Up there yesterday looking around.In York county you need a permit for the county parks ( which I have ). I’ve detected the parking lots. I’ve seen some of those sites.

HII sent an email asking about the permit this weekend and haven't heard back yet. What's the best way to go about getting the "special use" permit?
I went to the Parks office at John Rudy Park ( Rt 30 W to Mt Zion Rd ) left on My Zion, over the hill, Bear right at light at bottom of hill. Cross over creek, turn first left, Go straight in that road 1/2 mile. Office is on right ( don’t turn into park )I sent an email asking about the permit this weekend and haven't heard back yet.

I drove thru Spring Valley park today. 1 stone structure is a house that’s occupied, another is a maintenance place which has the road gated. There’s another structure that’s about a half hour hike. Another place is an old dump( half hour hike ) where I found some old bottles.In York county you need a permit for the county parks ( which I have ). I’ve detected the parking lots.
