stonetracker visited on 1st Jan 2023 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3 Site Z on the published map. Best way to get to this site is to park at the High Rock Road summit and hike down High Rock Rd. Take a left onto Messenger Rd and walk about 100-200 yds north past the waterhole to a height-of-land. The site is about a 100 ft bushwhack left (west) into the woods. Despite what the published map says, it is not easy to see from Messenger Rd due to brush, so a GPS device is helpful.
