Creek

The talk around here is that shiners once ran stills in these woods. That cannot be proven. What can is why the story stuck: the place is remote, the cover is thick, and a clean, cold tributary of Tilton Creek still runs through it. Those are the same reasons deer and turkey use it now, and why a man can walk it all afternoon without hearing a truck.

An 8.8-acre native-grass field sits as a blank slate if you want a plot or a mast orchard. The rest is pine money, older oak, and a hunting woods that does not all look the same. Off the road. On a live creek. Ground that still makes sense without the internet.
