As of this posting, Hopewell might as well be called "Hopeless." It has been in a wild state for some time, and due to its location off of the county road, there is trash dumping outside the cemetery fence. Beware of wildlife, including dogs and snakes, and there are many holes and depressions here where one risks injury.
