Radford City Highpoint Trip Report
Date: June 18, 2005

In what was clearly a case of identity theft in order to post bogus information
so as to sow dissention within the group, I too followed "Fred's" directions to
the "Radford HP". The quality of the information was so obviously not up to
Fred's standards, I should have been suspicions immediately, but noooooo.
Now, however, I have spoken with what I know to be the real Fred Lobdell and am fully
confident that the correct info has been posted.
Fred's directions are spot on. About the only problem I had was finding the
gravel road to the cemetery. I knew where it was supposed to be and still
missed it. The silly thing looks enough like a driveway that it is easy to miss.
If you get to Wadsworth Street (on the left) or Smith Street (on the right),
you just missed it. It runs on the left side of #514, a light yellow house with a
maroon ramp in front. Unfortunately, the house number is on the gravel road
side of the house. The cemetery is seriously overgrown but the water tower is
quite obvious.
Follow your nose up the ridge. Maybe 25 minutes round trip.
