Carranza was returning Charles Lindbergh's goodwill flight over Mexico City from the previous year when he was caught in a thunderstorm over the pine barrens.

The Pemberton Trail is a rail trail built over an old railway line. It is mostly single track and is well signed. At the end of the trail, the old Pemberton Railway Station is still standing, but has not been redeveloped yet, so it is not open to the public. The trail is fairly short, so it is a great place for beginners.
