Jones Island Highpoint
There really is no reason to do this activity other than to say you went up to the top of Jones Island. Although, if you've exhausted all other activities on the island, why not explore the rocky forested highpoint. You never know what you may find, a geocache maybe or even the strange bike wheel I found attached to a tree with the number 8 next to it. It seemed like it could be part of a disk golf course but I didn't find any others around.
