Previous descriptions are still accurate. Upon arrival, I saw harvesting
equipment and workmen up the road but decided to drive up and try out my people skills.
Note that the road, although wide, is very sandy, so keep moving or
risk bogging down. The gentleman in charge had no problem with my driving the
road to the top and seemed surprised and pleased to find out the location of the
county highpoint. He also mentioned that his cell phone didn't work at the summit,
seemingly counterintuitive. Mine worked but not well. GPS puts the
road right at the county line, so one hardly needs to enter the groves at the
well-defined summit bump. A bus and other vehicles were parked at the summit,
but I never spotted the harvesters.
