Hanging Rock Lost Trail - no longer there . . . Trail up from Banner Elk Side

As far as I know, not only is this trail closed,
it is gone - replaced with a fairway.

Buckeye Knob is a little known spot,
but one of our favorites.
The road to back in there was but a rutted,
maple lined cartway when I was a kid.
