19-Mar-2001 -- The confluence point indicated here is about 15 miles southeast
of Marathon, Texas. Access is from U.S. 385 at the gate shown
here 6 miles south of Marathon, which leads to a dirt road.
The gate uses a latch, not a lock, so presumably based on
this and the sign wording it is okay to travel on and leads to
several different properties. I chose not to investigate further,
though, since the confluence itself is A) about 3 miles from the
nearest dirt road; B) likely on private ranchland; C) is on
a steep mountain slope; D) climbing gear would probably
be required; and E) I was on vacation. Best of luck to those
that tackle this point!
