JOhn,

Mr. Hal l(and probably Mike Kauffman) knew about the other road and farm lane because Hall pointed it out to me through the woods on the northbound side one time when the leaves were off. For some reason, I remember a one-lane, "modern" road in the vicinity that crosses under 301 somehow?

Mike climbed down the south lanes years ago and poked around for evidence of the barn's remains, Luckily, he did not get arrested since he was definitely on a military reservation. I believe he said he found some charred wood, but nothing that could be authenticated.

My parents were stationed at Langley Field during WWII and traveled that section of 301 frequently. Mom used to talk about the steep hill that was there before the new road cut the elevation down so much.

That said, I would definitely pester the Army for more information and also VDOT
