The first location is in the yard of a one story red brick house just north of the Highway 425 and Highway
54 intersection. I knocked at the door but no one answered, so I walked around in the large yard area south
of the house. A fire tower is indicated on the Quad sheet, but I could not even find any traces of it.
The highest point of this area is near a Magnolia tree close to Highway 425.
The second area is located just across Highway 425 to the west in a cow pasture. The easiest access is to
drive to the first road (unnamed) that goes west, south of the second highpoint area and park in a gravel
pullout on the south side of the road. The high area is about 500' north of this location. There is a fence,
but it is not posted. The high point area is not distinct so walking around on top of the high area is
necessary.
The third area is reached by going 2.8 miles south of the Highway 425/54 intersection to County Road 90 to
the east. Follow County Rd 90 (dirt/gravel) for 0.7 miles till reaching a trailer with the address HC64 Box
101, the trailer is brown and it has no dogs. I knocked at the door, but no one answered. The was quite a
bit of stuff in the backyard (the area near the highpoint), so I didn't feel real good about walking among the
stuff to reach the highpoint without permission. So I got back in my truck and drove a little further south
down County Rd 90 till I saw a drive branching to the west, just south of the highpoint. I went up this
drive until I came to two trailers, the first one didn't look occupied, so I knocked on the second one.
A gentleman came to the door and I explained what I was doing and he allowed me access to the power line
cut to the north of his trailer. I walked this power line cut and reached the highpoint area, it was located just
beyond the junk from the first trailer, near an old satellite dish. I tromped around in the grass and into the
edge of a pine thicket until I was satisfied.
