Urban Stealth Camping / PA 63 Stealth Camping

I am happy to upload my Woodhaven Road (PA 63) Urban Stealth Camp.
This video is another Philly Urban Stealth Camp.
We will be about 60 yards from Woodhaven Road and down the road from Lomax at Philadelphia Mills.

On our way to the site we follow Byberry road down to the Poquessing creek and pass the now closed Creek edge garden center.
For many years I purchased my vegetable starts here for my garden.

The area is being cleared out for future construction, I found some information on line, (Department of Planning and Development), that said it was to be for a 3 story storage unit facility but from what my legally challenged brain could understand from the legal documents was that it was nixed and is being challenged?
The house on the property is still there, built in 1945? but I'm sure it's marked for demolition.

The Poquessing Creek divides Philadelphia and Bensalem.

According to the Journal of the Common Council of the city of Philadelphia (found online) it says that the name of the road we will be walking on, was to be changed from Gravel Pike Road to Byberry Road October 20th, 1898.
Now I have no idea why google maps says its Gravel Road
It is called Gravel Pike on the other side of the Poquessing in Bensalem and Byberry road on Philadelphia's side.

The hill I am camping on is construction waste from when the Liberty Bell race track was removed to make way for Franklin Mills, now called Philadelphia Mills.
From what I can tell, most of this hill is asphalt. Staking out the tent was near impossible.

I take a quick hike down to the creek and under Woodhaven Road and enjoy some Philly Style art work.
I setup a Night Lapse for Woodhaven road that I was semi-pleased with the final footage.

Just a quick note, The light in the tent in the photos was on just for the photos.
