       As soon as we cross the stream, the road moves away from the stream in very broad "S" curve, If you keep your eyes open, you will see signs of old several old homesteads.  There are large apple trees, that at one time provided fruit to the residents of this area.  Just to the west of the road, the ground is very wet with spring water flow from the base of the hill..  There is an excellent stand of wild lilies Lilium superbum, just after you pass the foot path, heading west, up the mountain..  Even before Game Lands personnel widened the open area, the road was grass covered here.  As the road sweeps to the South, it bypasses Taskmaster Flats, The Log-Jam Dam, The Falls Below Limestone, Limestone Run Confluence,  Meadow Crossing and The Meadow areas of the stream.  There is a fisherman's trail that leads from the upstream side of First Crossing to the point, just south of the meadow, which provides easy access to these areas from the western / northern bank of the stream.  This is the preferred route for fishing this area, If you wish to avoid disturbing other fishermen along the stream as the trail is back off the bank and well shielded from stream view, whereas, the Hunter's Trail on the other bank, runs along the edge of the water along most of its length.  The Fisherman's Trail rejoins the road as the later approaches the stream, just past the meadow,
