6.50 miles Old Stonehouse Road - SSR 2002	From Exit 52A off I-81 follow US 11 east under the AT bridge. In about 1.2 miles from I-81, go right on Appalachian Drive. According to Google Maps it is 1.6 miles to the junction with Old Stonehouse Road. Go right for 0.1 miles to the trail crossing. There does not appear to be any parking in the immediate vicintiy. This should be considered at best only a drop-off point. The road is narrow so even a drop-off is problematic. --- The southbound trail crosses a field from the east. The path can clearly be seen as a darker green line across the field on the satellite view of the map attached in the previous listing. The trail crosses a stile, then enters woods on the other side of Old Stonehouse Road. Rotate the street view of the map to the northeast to see the stile and the northbound trail. The southbound trail is more difficult to see but is in the southwest view. 04/14/09 --- David Cullen --- 2013	Probably 0
