Henry County High Point Trip Report

The first of the 4 areas for Henry Co. that I visited was the most scenic, a 1/4 mile walk west of Murray Road. The hilltop is half in grass and half in trees, I left a register there.

The next area is right by the roadside, and the third area was in woods a short distance west of the road.

Now for the tricky one, an area shown out in the woods ESE of Gilliam Cemetery. I drove east to Shady Grove Road, and found a locked gate on the road heading uphill, due west of Hickory Grove Cem. I continued North to a road that looks like a fish hook, and is shown as solid red on the DeLorme map. Well, DeLorme was right, and I was able to drive this road half way to the HP.

Where the main road bent right and downhill, a new road took off too the west, and I was able to drive virtually to the HP, assuming my navigating was OK. Since none of the roads was shown on the topo map it was a bit tricky. I figure the HP here is near two dead snags in a dense regrowth of pine trees.
