Access Description: Just S of Hwy 500, 3.2 km W of the York River bridge. Take Hwy 500 E for 3.8 ml and turn right onto the Bronson Road (gravel). Drive 1.05 ml and turn left onto the Hawkins Farm road; drive 0.6 ml to the farmhouse and park. Walk past the house and up a slight hill to an old fenced farm road. Follow this to a rock bluff where the road bears left. After about 100 paces it swings back to the right and starts to climb. Near the top of the hill, still within the trees, there is a hole in the road. Check this and the left side of the road.
