Poplar Tent : legit? (North_America: United_States: North_Carolina: Central: Poplar_Tent__CLOSED_TO_CLIMBING_) Report this Post Average: (0 ratings)	Can't Post

is this place legit now? i was under the impression that it was supposed to still be kept on the DL. only time i ever went out there there were a group of teenagers skipping school to smoke weed hanging out. its a fun spot though.

Yeah, RC.com has been trying to clean up its act as of late, but those damned potheads just keep coming back and breaking bottles in the alley.

Poplar Tent is closed. Nothing has changed, other than that more and more people are poaching. Everybody that goes in there should expect to have their cars towed and to be arrested and/or fined for trespassing, and then count themselves lucky if they aren't.

Folks will do what they please, but IMO, it's not worth the potential hassle.

I'm not a local anymore, but from what I hear, Poplar Tent access seems to have become pretty much a wink-wink, nudge-nudge situation.
