It's a heavily driven road but the whole right side of US17 N is Federal land; its MCAS New River & training ranges for Camp Lejeune MCB. (From 210 to the intersection of 17 & 24). The area is heavily wooded, there are swampy areas and with constant training happening in the vicinity. The MCAS is the reason for the horrible cell reception & lack of overhead views of the scene.
Maybe something was picked up on a camera around there?
