I followed Fred Lobdell's directions. Additional data: US 21 heads east, but is signed north. The road going left (northeast) from Gibbon Road is Chistenbury Road, from which the short bushwhack begins. To my delight, the cairn placed 2 1/2 years ago by Andy Martin was still in place. I lifted a rock off the metal stand, and there was the topless can of Mountain Dew. The zip-lock bag containing the NC county high point list has partially dissolved, so the list was sodden, but is appears undisturbed. Andy Martin and David Martin names are still readable, and I added my own. The next visitor should bring a fresh baggie.
