Darlington County High Point Trip Report

I just reconnoitered this one. The north-south road shown on the topo is paved, but the intersecting road running SW-NE just north of the county line is good-quality dirt. It's also fairly wide, but there's no place to pull off unless it's into people's driveways. There are also a couple of houses in the area not shown on the map. The woods nearby are posted, though the highest area might be in a field behind one of the dwellings on the south side of the road.

A possible approach might be to park at the radio tower shown on the map, which is fenced but does not sit on a HP. I don't think it was posted from this direction and it might be possible to walk east from the tower for the small area, then northeast to the large area. I didn't look at the third (small) area at all, which is three-quarters of a mile or so west of the paved road.
