Ascent Trip ReportI followed the advice of many experienced PBs and turned off at the FAA Towers, the water tank and the area across from Mount Moriah Church. The tank parking lot appeared to be highest point with a GPS reading of 503 feet (may be inaccurate). At any rate, got the HP. Many excavations in this area so avoided the man-made berms. |
