Hancock County has recently opened their end of Ridge Road, which means the entire 8 mile length of the road from Hwy 43 S. to Texas Flat Rd. is open to the general public with the exception of the approx. 1/4 mile from Asa McQueen Rd. to the Hancock County line. There are very strong emotions concerning that road and it appears the majority of the Pearl River County citizenry want to see that gate taken down. if you are one of those people, please sign this petition to be presented to the Pearl River County Board of Supervisors. Thank You.

My Dad grew up with this road being a public road,this is where his roots are the road was suppose to be kept public so the people that got moved out by NASA could go and remeness their old property sights so nobody should have put gates up when it's buffer zone property
Irma Frierson's Grandfather was my Great Uncle Albert Alsobrooks. Some have asked the connection. There's also a Kellar connection. Brothers married sisters. It gets complicated. My Great Grandparents, Willie and Bertie Carbonette, owned and operated the store/gas station at the "Y", the intersection of Ridge Road, Hwy 607, and Texas Flat. My Great Grandfather Leonard Alsobrooks, Albert's brother, owned 600 acres on Ridge Road. I learned to hunt as a kid there, drove my first car on that road. It is still, literally and figuratively, in my back yard. It is a part of me. Take down that gate!
I have family from this area as well and I believe it should NEVER have been closed....
fond memories of ridge road
I found all of this information just by reading the PI article and doing three quick searches on Google.
No man should be able to put a gate on a public road
Amazing research and information. Is this from one source or many? Thank you Vicky.

I am asking people to sign this petition to have the gate removed on Ridge Road. My parents Irma and T.J. Frierson have owned land off of Ridge Road since the mid 50's. We were raised on this land and there is a lot of fond memories there. We would still be there if not for the test site. My mother is 86 years old and is not able to open nor should she be expected to open a large gate, that is located on U.S. Government land, to get to her property. that she has owned and paid taxes on since the mid 1950's.
