Look at that satellite view -Acme mapper - posted by Pumpers. You will see what we hiked running north and south east of that pond and west of the road to Freedom. This is well below the scout camp down near the bridge over the BR&P/B&O. We think it is either the TV&C or an early route of the Rochester & State Line which built what became the BR&P. HTG
HTG, very interesting. Also, between the mapper.acme.com, alternating between topo mode and satellite mode, and the historicaerials.com, it sure seems like there is also an extra ROW from about 1/4 mile north of what you just described, up north to around the southern edge of Crystal Lake, between the B&S and the BRP. Perhaps an extension to the north of what you were on (although on the other side of the BRP) -- maybe what we are looking at came before the BRP so there was not a crossing issue. By the way, which came first, BRP or TV&C? SOmewhere I have seen a post (can't find it now) talking about walking on a Row parallel to the B&S but very close to it in this area.
Then continuing north of Crystal Lake, north of Camp Rd, again with the maps I just described you can make a good case for another ROW just to the east of the B&S. All the way north to Phillippi/Moore Rd. Especially see what looks like fill over a westward corner of Moore's pond -- the B&S was maybe 100 feet west of there, according to the topo map at mapper.acme.com (assuming the ROW they show as a dotted line is indeed the B&S), and more straight. You can sort of see them both on the 1963 photo, but on modern mapper.acme.com the route east of the B&S (perhaps the TV&C), with several bends comapred to the straighter B&S, actually shows up better.
