Narrative and photographs
The drive up Sorber Mountain Road was an interesting one (the road is a long, narrow, winding mountain road in quite good condition, considering), but I would need better coordinates or description in order to find this one, or at least permission from local homeowners to poke around for quite some time (assuming they didn’t already know where it was). There are a few homes right near the coordinates, and there would be no way to search for this mark stealthily. I would have to approach the homes and ask for permission. That is certainly a possibility at some point, but I didn’t have time this morning.
