Beautiful Memorial Day expedition.  It looked like most of the approach could be made along a power line right of way. Smetimes those are passable, sometimes not.  In this case we lucked out. The power company is in the process of replacing a wooden pylon with metal ones, and their installation vehicle had mowed a lovely, easy-to-walk road along the right of way to within about 60 m of the hashpoint. When we arrived at the point where the grassy section and the new road ended, we faced an impenetrable-looking sassafras thicket.  But at that point we went south into the open and navigable forest and were able to reach the hashpoint pretty easily.

Beautiful Memorial Day expedition. It looked like most of the approach could be made along a power line right of way. Sometimes those are passable, sometimes not. In this case we lucked out. The power company is in the process of replacing a wooden pylon with metal ones, and their installation vehicle had mowed a lovely, easy-to-walk road along the right of way to within about 60 m of the hashpoint. When we arrived at the point where the grassy section and the new road ended, we faced an impenetrable-looking sassafras thicket. But at that point we went south into the open and navigable forest and were able to reach the hashpoint pretty easily.
