FR-45

I managed to drag myself away from yardwork etc. and up to FR-45 for a short jaunt. FR-45 starts off of the paved FR-19 between the North Fork Campground and Tunnel Mills Campground.
First, I was pleased that I had my tow chain and shackles etc. in the truck, because I encountered a young man looking for help to get his car off a rock at the empty Tunnel Mills CG. He was turning around to follow his buddies out and got well stuck. A quick hookup with the chain pulled him off and probably saved the evening from a faraway and pricey tow.
Anyway, enjoyed a short ride in the area. It's not terribly scenic, but I like it. The remnant of Black Mountain Road is beckoning - it's the rocky washed out looking thing in the picture gallery. I've only been to the junction where it turns uphill.
