 If you drive fifteen minutes south from Siler City in rural Chatham County, North Carolina, you’ll find a place called the Devil’s Tramping Ground. Pine trees and red oaks line the edges of this clearing in the woods. And grass and low brush stretch out from the trees, stopping only as they reach a barren, 15 foot wide circle, too perfect to be natural. In the center of the circle, the soil is pu...
