Description Is this a colonial root cellar or a Native American structure? Not far behind the photographer is a creek. Not far away is a hill called the Spitzenberg, or, by geologists, the Hamburg anomaly, (at its base is the other chamber whose photo I posted on the Portal in 2002), rumored to have had rock shelters that were blasted out. And facing that, closer to this chamber, is a prominence on the Kittatinny Ridge, called the Pinnacle, on which there was once a cave, called the Dragon Cave, also blasted into oblivion. A mystical-feeling area that draws full moon hikers as well as geology class field trips.

On what side of the Spitzenberg Hill is this chamber? What direction does it face?

Nancy, Where are you located? This chamber isn't right at the base of the Spitz. I know of another that is. This one's between the Spitz and the Pinnacle, closer to the Pinnacle. If you want more info, send me a message through the Portal's private messaging system (which I haven't checked for a while, so maybe you have.)
