Access to the Mt. Marshall Mre Koaa nas Deen blocked at two points. A “posted” sign hangs from a single strand of barbed wire stretched across the road where it leaves State Route 625. Four more signs can be seen on -threes along the road beyond the wire: Farther up the Fire Road, six strands of jferbed wire barricade the trail, preventing horses, riders and hikers from passing through. The fence was put up by Arvin Benson. Seven landowners have property which the Fire Road crosses between Benson’s land and 625.

AFTER THE FIRE ROAD was blocked, Dr. and Mrs. Norman Horwitz, who have land farther up the mountain, told the Rappahannock Trail Riders that they could use their driveway to reach the Mt. Marshall trail from Route 625.

The legality of blocking the trail has not been determined. Fanning Baumgardner, Assistant Zoning Administrator, believes the Mt. Marshall Fire Road may be a public right-of-way. But Baumgardner is not sure. Attorneys for the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection are studying the issue. —Pekay Pettus
