Side View, Looking Southeast The daily traffic count of "1" seems awfully pessimistic, as I counted at least 18 vehicles crossing in the 45 minutes that I was in the area. It is also a very popular recreational location, because even though there is no official boat landing, the shore has a slope gentle enough for boats to be launched here. Photo taken by J.R.
