In looking at peaks near my QTH that had not been activated yet, I noticed Long Mountain (W7O/NC-034).  There were no notes on the peak’s page warning of issues and from examing the maps, it appeared that it may be a fairly routine exercise to get to the summit which is just north of Green Mountain.

After two hours of circling the peak, I came to the conclusion there is no way to access it without crossing private (and posted) timber land.  Most of the signs were Weyerhaeuser’s.  They do indicate that you can get permits for non-motorized access.  The closest I got was 2.5 road miles from the peak on Bacona Road.
