Along An Abandoned Highway

May 31, 2009
Point Lookout Trail (formerly U.S. 70)
McDowell County, NC

Before we head back to Georgia, our friends take us to Point Lookout Trail, which was just recently established from an abandoned section of old U.S. 70. We did not make it all the way to Point Lookout due to time constraints, but we walked a bit down the trail, following the sounds of a train that passed through the gorge below, and catching up with it just as the last cars passed through the second tunnel.
