POTA near Charlotte
Why is it that Reed Gold Mine and James K. Polk are both closed Sunday and Monday. Those seem to be the days that I want to do POTA!
Guess Morrow Mountain or Pee Dee are good alternatives, with some planning.
What are people's favorite "local" POTA QTH?

Both Morrow and PeeDee are good spots. Probably a bit more privacy at Morrow. We went there last August and met the president of the Stanley County ARC (can't remember his name) who had been activating the park on the other side of the mountain. He reported that the park staff was friendly to POTA, and that the shelter above the parking area on the west side of the mountain was a good place to set up. Note that there is virtually no cell service on the east side of the mountain, which may impact your logging.
I love going to Pee Dee for a lot of reasons in addition to POTA. Kevin M. did a OOTA there a couple of years ago. Great venue, but you may get scolded by birders. š
