Beginning at Orrell Rd and heading along Mill Creek, then through some fields on an old road. At the first tobacco barn, head up on an old timber road until it peters out. At this point, look for anyway to head up. Deep drainage galleys make it difficult. It becomes really steep but I manage to pop out on top - probably between Middle and Little Sister.
Heading west on the ridge, I look for the first place to head down that is not a drop off. One presents itself and the way down is quite slow and deliberate. A couple of butt slides were needed. After 15 minutes, the terrain leveled out so you could walk without the constant fear of falling.
I followed the first old road I encountered. It appeared to parallel Orrell Rd. So I ended up right back where I had started.
A walk up Orrell Road was in order at this point. There are a half dozen dilapidated buildings. It is not wise venturing in several since they look as if they could easily collapse. I suspect most will have to be demolished by the park before this area is added to the park map.
There are sizable dumps here as well. Lots of rusting farm equipment mixed with old household rust - bedsprings, appliances etc.
Must have been the farmhouse
