Old Rifle-Range Somewhere in that new-ish plantation, about the middle of the photo, there was once a target butt for a rifle-range.   A quick search for any remains of the target butt was cut short, because the new trees are planted very close to each other and I was getting jagged everywhere with the needles.  Another search might happen, at another date when I have more time to spare.
