'- A road with a romantic past, the Old Fort road was an al most-forgotten . trail until a few months ago when it came Into prominence as access road to the new Marine Barracks. I In pioneer times, this road was the main route from Klamath Falls to Algoma, Fort Klamath, Chiloquin,- and-- other points north. It was traveled by Fort Klamath troops in the days of the Modoc war. When, about 20 years ago, the state highway north along the lake was built, the Old Fort road was relegated to obscurity. When the Marine Barracks site was designated, the road was quickly widened and surfaced with cinders to facilitate move ment of materials to the build ing area. The navy then planned its permanent improvement, call ing for bids which culminated the award of the contract today to Dunn.
