Description

Rest spot on river-left where jeep trail comes to rivers edge.  Look for an opening in the woods with a painted rock. It's also possible to walk out from here.  The road on river-left circles back to the river at the bottom of Lower Poplar. On river-right is an old railroad bed that follows along the river.  This is also the spot there the US Nationals held in the 1990's started.
