Historical tidbit - the day they found the wreckage, the VA state police

were rounding up student occupiers of Williams Hall in a moving van. We did a hiker feed up there last Memorial Day w/e. 50 yr. anniv. of the crash. A friend of Audie's sister (she is still living in TX) came up to plant flowers at the memorial. He does it every year.

Thanks for the post. I wonder if any of those Williams occupiers are TSL -- IB4TECH 01/07/2022 12:53PM

It’s off of Mt. Tabor road between B’Burg and Catawba. -- VaTaz 01/07/2022 09:48AM

Yeah, there's a forest road being shown on Google that was throwing me off. -- `lag 01/07/2022 10:43AM

Not when i found it, looking at maps now and I'm really confused... -- `lag 01/06/2022 8:44PM

It appears to be off Brush Mt Road in Craig Co. ** -- IB4TECH 01/06/2022 9:00PM

Looks to be fairly close to Dragon's Tooth ** -- Tuckahokie 01/07/2022 06:22AM

Yeah, if the AT crosses the road, you've gone too far, (from B'burg) -- `lag 01/06/2022 9:04PM

Google Earth shows that you get off Brush Mt Rd onto a "driveway". It -- IB4TECH 01/06/2022 9:09PM

It’s not even close to a highway. (Not that that matters) ** -- BobG 01/06/2022 8:40PM

Thanks. I wondered about that. ** -- IB4TECH 01/06/2022 8:34PM

I just added a through-hiker video... -- `lag 01/06/2022 8:37PM

In my opinion, she doesn't sound like she's from Texas. ** -- TexasGobbler 01/06/2022 10:13PM

I like her, followed her through-hike, but have to agree, she's not native -- `lag 01/06/2022 11:56PM

She sounds a little like Frances McDormand's character in Fargo ** -- Tuckahokie 01/07/2022 08:01AM

Pretty good comparison even in personality or maybe that's what you meant.** -- `lag 01/07/2022 11:57AM
