The old lumber road, Fox Crossing

North Carolina · USA · Manor

Off Fox Crossing Road at Laurinburg, North Carolina an old lumber road runs into the woods. It is no longer used. Logging trucks worked it, taking timber out.

Walk it at night and look out into the trees, and a couple is sometimes visible, dressed in the clothes of another period.

They are not described as doing anything in particular. They are simply out among the trees, at a distance from the track.

The Sandhills of North Carolina were logged hard from the late 1800s onward, and the longleaf pine forest that stood here was almost entirely cut. The roads left behind run for miles through second growth woodland and lead nowhere, which is a fair part of why they collect stories.

The land is private in places and the road is unlit, unmaintained and easy to lose in the dark.
