About 3 miles up Cornfield Spring Road from my tent, I pass an abandoned corral and the edge of the Providence Mountains block

Look closely and you'll see the road continuing beyond the corral. I turned back here at 3000 feet elevation on a hot May 2009 morning hike a few months ago because I foolishly wasn't carrying sufficient water.
