I tried looking for a Hanover Furnace Tract stone today that I could not find years ago and it is still eluding me. So I went to one of the stones closest to it to get a much more accurate reading than I did years ago with my etrex. This stone is in danger of being destroyed if the sand mining that was threatened is still progressing.
A few weeks back Gibby gave me a tip on where there was a possible sawmill location and today Jessica and I went to check it out. Here is the aerial that shows the possible location. It turns out I could not find any evidence of a sawmill so I suspect that the circled area was just the location where the logs were loaded on vehicles.
Here is the road in. We know for sure this road is 80 years old.
And just inside the woods there is still evidence of the road into the swamp.
We then headed over to Green Banks State Forest and did some exploring around an old homestead or gun club. Nothing much there but it is a nice area. We headed into the woods to look for a few monuments which we did not find. We did find a nice size pine tree and a nice cedar swamp. I was thinking about planning a PBX hike in there but I have not decided yet.
Dry cedar swamp. Very nice!
