You can park anywhere on the shoulder at our first stop. But because it may be overgrown in warmer months, the coordinates mark a narrow mailbox pullout on Old Lowery Road. It should be approached from NC 211 (the direction taken by Patriot forces in the battle). Look for it on the right just after crossing the Little Raft Swamp bridge.

Larger vehicles may not fit. If yours can’t, read down to, and then follow the directions to, the second stop at Dixie Road.
