Clemente Bridge, Pittsburgh, PA

This bridge closes to vehicular traffic before every Pirates baseball game. Named after famed Pittsburgh Pirate Roberto Clemente who died in a plane crash, the bridge crosses the Allegheny River very close to PNC Park, the home for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Photo courtesy of Derek Walenta

Phillies Stadium, Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The Eagles and Phillies each have their own stadiums now, here is Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, home of the Philadelphia Phillies. The ball park encapculates the city's skyline nicely in right field.

Matamoros, PA and Mid-Delaware Bridge

Coming down from High Point, through Port Jervis, NY brings you to the 'Mid-Delaware' Bridge and into the Pennsylvania town of Matamoros, PA. On May 10th, 2012 this was the scene:

 

Here we see the post office

The gun sign and the wedding dress, an interesting dichotomy, brings new meaning to the term, "shotgun wedding" ; apparently a shotgun wedding conveniently located in one strip mall!

The sign before the bridge crossing the Delaware River back into Port Jervis, NY

Peering across the river at the church steeple in Port Jervis, NY looking generally down river

A second shot of the same general location but without the rusting bridge in the foreground.

Tri-State Monument - NY/NJ/PA - New Jersey's Northernmost Point

Here are the pictures taken at the tri-state monument delineating the state line between NY, NJ and PA. It is NJ’s northernmost point, the ‘northwest corner’ - It is not a geographic extremity of either PA or NY. It lies, basically at the confluence of the Delaware River and the Neversink River in the shadow of I-84.

This spot holds the most interest for people who reside in NJ. Interestingly to access this point, the only real way to get there is to cross into NY, cross the Neversink River and go through the Laurel Grove Cemetery, park the car and walk to the monument.

The monument itself,

Below, I-84, in this picture I am looking west, I am in NY and am looking towards the PA side of the Delaware River.

Looking back across the Neversink River.

In the below picture we see the Tri-State monument in the context of the confluence of the Delaware and Neversink Rivers. You can see that it does appear to be decidedly mid-river.

Below is a previously placed memorial marker which is actually under I-84 and which would make you believe that I-84 actually clips NJ. It does not, the marker clearly gives directions for finding the mid-river point. When this was placed, this monument was possibly the closest point on land to the actual point.

Same monument from the other side, instead of NJ, we see NY.

This is the official mark, looking down. The lines demarking the actual line between the states.

The obligatory picture of some portion of your body being in three states simultaneously.  I hope I didn't commit a crime otherwise I am in some serious trouble (subject to prosecution in three jurisdictions)


Here is a panorama of the area with the monument. Beautiful location.
