I wanted to leave a placeholder post for a description of my visit to Dead Center Hill again near Woodrow Wilson College. Unfortunately my camera batteries went dead on me during the visit. A big part of the news is that someone (some*thing*?) has been working on a small lean-to on top of the hill since my last visit. The bit of old kane found then has been employed in the construction. A piece of tarp could cover it and provide a small shelter. But *has* it been used as such? And if so, was *Warren* (again separated from Wilson) the dweller?
A second bit of news is that the flat area around Arch Rock seems more meaningful now that the weeds have died off, centered around a pennisular area between two small stream flows. I though this place might be a good spot for a statue of some sort, or a rock cairn or something to mark the spot. We’ll see what develops in the future.
Another piece of good news is that I had no problem accessing Dead Center Hill, and didn’t feel like I stood out like a sore thumb and all exposed while walking next to the Wilson River after the protective rows of corn had been harvested. I think it could still be a regular destination when we finally get to Ashville in 6-9 years.
