    Mickey, I had my brother scan and blow up that black and white map so now it's 2 pages and I can read it. Thanks.

    Our little group hiked all the way into the NE corner, at the foot of Cedar Rock Mtn. That's near the source of the Betty MgGee Creek, which flows north a couple of miles to Tot Hill Farm, then flows back south on the other side of the ridges to Thornburg Farm, and circumnavigates the entyre Birkhead Wilderness Area before joining the Uwharrie River.

    Very nice to see a hike with no snow . . .

    . . . warms the heart . . .

    when it has been snowing here for the last 36 hours.
