| From Stone birthplace (NW corner) Reservoir Tr/Baker Pond/Pisgah Ridge/Parker/Old Chesterfield Rd. Beautiful rolling run thru 13,000 acre undeveloped park. Some gravel surface, but 80% was on cushioned pine needles. Nice overlooks on Pisgah Ridge Trail. Nicest run found to date in area. Forest is mature open pine and hardwood and would do nicely for an orienteering map. |
