'- 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
