2005-07-10, Pettiford Creek, former dam site by land
I crossed Pettiford Creek on Rte 58 going north and took my first right past the bridge and went out Whitehouse Road to Millis Road and turned right on Millis and right again on first dirt road to the right which is Croatan Forest Road #302.
I drove to the end and parked Snowwhite there. Replaced Izaak Walton "Don"t Litter" sign with a new one.
No vehicles allowed past this point now. Took the trail to the left which leads to the old dam.
A new pretty white flower seen along the way.
This is the first walk I ever took in Croatan without seeing a single piece of trash. My dream realized! The trail was covered with pinestraw and huge pine cones. I did see the moon, a mushroom that looked like the moon! Analien space craft (a bug) landed on the moon as I went to take the picture. He did not like the environment and took off immediately.
This is tranquil Pettiford Creek at the old dam site (there is another one upstream). This is my favorite spot on Pettiford where we usually eat lunch unles we are going upstream to the Beaver Lodge to have lunch there. That is on the enchanted wildflower lake formed by the very large and long beaver dam. This is one beaver dam that should never be removed or cut through. It would destroy this beautiful unique lake.
