257 Grocery - 6939 Briery Branch Road
hone quarry camp ground
nw on 257/Briery Branch Road Hone Quarry Rd. Right on Hone Quarry Rd. there is a big sign.
This is not far from the Flagpole camp. Hone Quarry rd dead ends a couple miles up, but it is a good drive, Plenty of road to explore. There is an area further past there that sits on a creek bank. It is a nice place.
