Sunday morning, I woke up just before sunrise and broke camp and left the park. On the way home, I stopped at the Thornburg Trailhead for Birkhead Mountains Wilderness in Uwharrie National Forest, planning to hike all of the trails. Just past the trailhead was the Lewis-Thornburg House.
There were a number of old restored farm buildings around the homestead.
In another mile, Robbins Branch Trail ended at Birkhead Mountains Trail and I went left towards the Tot Hill Trailhead.
After crossing the summit of Coolers Knob Mountain, the trail descended steeply for a short section.
I turned around at Tot Hill and took the yellow-blazed Camp Three Trail on the hike back. It made a 2-mile loop with Birkhead Mountains Trail and passed by several nice campsites.
I then got back on Birkhead Mountain Trail to Hannahs Creek Trail. There was some holly with bright red berries along the trail.
