I attend cleanups in the Piney Branch area, and my guess is people smoking while drinking in the woods. You'll find a spot 30 or so feet from the road or trail covered with bottles and cans. I haven't seen evidence of campfires to date, though I guess that that would also be a possibility.

edit: apparently this was near Piney Branch which I walked through today but did not notice lol

Was wondering about this! Drove through rock creek with intention of turning onto piney branch but it was closed. Took blagden up through crestwood and just saw smoke everywhere.
