Description
A long dirt road leads deep into the forest wild. It is traversed by explorers, hunters and caretakers of the woodlands. Humble roadways like this provide access when fire breaks out or when managing a controlled burn. They also allow the public to enjoy these national treasures. While crude and simple, they serve a good purpose.
This is the Croatan National Forest, near the Pine Cliffs Recreation area. The road dead ends a few miles into the woods. a bit short of reaching the Neuse River. Just inside of Carven County, the peace of the wilderness is often shattered by the screaming of jets stationed at the nearby Marine Corps Airstation Cherry Point. Despite the occasional interruption by the sounds of freedom, it is a place of peace and solitude.
