From Exit 61 on US 131 (Bradley Exit) head east 11.3 miles. Turn right and go south 1 mile to the county line and Hart Road (this is 1.2 miles north of the Yankee Springs intersection). Drive east on Hart Road for roughly 0.5 mile (take the right fork) and find a good place to park near an open area.

Hike south-southeast on trails and do some bushwhacking to the HP. There are four concrete (tower?) footings there, BM French 1937, and a witness marker. Be sure to take along a tentative GPS reading of the site to keep yourself on track (you should also note the GPS reading where you park your car -- the woods can be confusing!). Check for ticks!
