102 forgotten country roads. The Black Horse Tavern near that gap no longer heard the sound of the coach horn warning the stable hands to have the change of horses ready. This section proves that you do not have to climb to dizzy heights to enjoy magnificent views. The Blue Ridge from the Peaks of Otter forms a half moon to Black Horse Gap that partially encloses upper Goose Creek valley. Spur ridges down either side of the valley and a mountain just beyond its end make this exquisite valley appear to be entirely walled in. With the Peaks of Otter looming above the northeastern wall and the light and shadow playing across the woods and fields of the valley as you walk north toward Bearwallow Gap, you will be inclined to ignore everything else if the Trail will let you. By switching you to the western side a little, however, it reminds you that the Valley of Virginia is always a lovely sight. Here it has narrowed down as the Alleghenies and the Blue Ridge have come closer together. More hills and spur mountains rise from the valley floor to vary the patchwork of farms and grazing lands. The river is a very faint ribbon and the train whistle muted by distance. With one exception the whole trail section between Rockfish Gap and Black Horse Gap is open to travel. The Trail from Reeds Gap to Three Ridges dead-ends at present beyond Reeds Gap. Travel may be resumed roughly 20 miles south where the Trail crosses the State fish-hatchery road in the Maintop-Spy Rock Mountain area of Nelson County. This junction is reached by turning east from the Blue Ridge Parkway at Tye River Gap on Virginia Highway 56 and going through Montebello 4 miles to the fish-hatchery. The road continues one mile around the mountain to the Trail crossing. South from there to Black Horse Gap there are no detours. At all times a letter addressed to the N. B. A. T. C. Secretary, Miss Florence Adams, 707 Clay Street, Lynchburg, Va., will bring a reply as to Trail conditions in this area. Much has been accomplished toward forest fire prevention and control since the establishment of The Appalachian Trail in northern Virginia. Previous to 1915 there was no organization in Virginia responsible for the control of forest fires. Not so many years before this, it was customary in some of the mountain areas to set the woods on fire for various reasons. When these fires were once started, oftentimes they burned until a rain put them out. When the head of the fire threatened a home or rail fence, the neighbors would deflect its course by backfiring a road or branch. Seldom did they attempt to control the entire In the early part of the twentieth century, the people at last became alarmed because of the vast acreage of timbered land that was being consumed each year by uncontrolled forest fires, and in 1915 the Virginia Forest Service was created by an act of the General Assembly. A State Forester was appointed and given the responsibility of organizing the State by counties into fire-fighting units. The General Assembly also passed a number of laws supporting the State Forester in his efforts to prevent careless or irresponsible persons from setting the woods on fire. ially in the "Northern'v'i'' ',"'"""I ','"'|v"',,'"",i H-c>res* Service T " me of the Bulletin. field of fire prevention, see the article entitled "The Virginia Forest S( the Blue Ridge Area in Northern Virginia," by Berlin Eye, published

This 1946 bulletin by the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club includes (pages 104-108) a 1910 letter to Horace Kephart from A.A. Chable who wrote of his “tramping, camping, and mountain climbing” in the Smokies. Horace Kephart (1862-1931) was a noted naturalist, woodsman, journalist, and author and promoter of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
