This area of Johnston County is known for the soil which is often muddy but rich with nutrients for farming sweet potatoes and corn. To plant, cultivate, and harvest the crops required ingenuity to maneuver the wet mud so trailers of crops and farm equipment could be brought in and out of the fields.
The answer was broadslabs - or the rough thick cut from trees to include the bark of the trees. These broad slabs of wood were laid across the field creating a rough road but enabling the farming community to work the fields.
OPEN Thursday - Saturday 12 PM to 5 PM DO NOT CROSS THE GATE when closed. Use waypoint for another cache.
