Jobe Wymore has written very good directions so I won't bother.

I had never been to Ashley County, so I decided I would park my truck in Drew County and walk into Ashley County for my first visit and also go to the highpoint area. I came in from the north and parked just north of the Ashley-Drew County Line. I got out and made sure I walked on the Drew County side until I was just a few feet from the hump on the south side of the road. I crossed over into Ashley County and reached the highpoint in a matter of seconds. I then went to walk around in the wooded area just east of the drive by the highpoint, just to make sure. There were quite a few dogs around, which at first made me question my judgment in walking down this road, but they were all bark and no bite.
