it’s underground :doh: lol… it’s an aquifer… google it. it’s where the point’s fountian water comes from, if i recall correctly… it used to be a river that ran north in the ice age… lake erie’s glacier movements caused a ‘dam’ that changed the direction of all this area’s rivers (now southbound)… a layer of clay and gravel and shit seperated it(made it underground) back in the day(iceage). at least i think. :bigok: ---
