A few days ago someone blocked the public access road to the Blair Mountain Battle Field with boulders that were clearly brought from a mine site.  This would prevent the march from using this state road turnout off the highway as a pick up and drop off spot for Marchers who intended to walk up the Public Road to the historic site.   A small group of marchers took the initiative to move those boulders with thier bare hands.   They opened up the road while jeering miners, private security and state police looked on.  The action had been cleared by the Dept of Transportation because this turnout was an important safety feature on this windy steep mountain  road that is frequently traveled by fast moving over loaded coal trucks.
