"if these walls could talk" on the Old Settlers Trail 

Our Get on Trail 2n Oct hike split up the group where one went in along Redwine creek and ended up 6.5 miles later close to McCarter Barn. The 2nd  group went in at McCarter Barn and hiked past Redwine to Steiner Bell man way for 9 miler.  We arranged some "key swapping" before hand to make it work. But both groups got to see a dozen old chimneys, walls, and glimpse into what used to be an active community.  And we all commented that we are glad that hikers are aware that while it is great to look it, it is not okay to take out any artifax from the Park.  That would ruin this historic hike for others for years to come.   The McCarter Barn area is close to a little red radio building (across street) and you can park 4-6 cars along the highway off the road but don't block the gate.  Then Redwine area is close to Bent Creek where you can put a few cars across the street on side of road but need a knowledgable guide to help you find the manway which leads to Old Settlers Trail
