highpointers.org � Access Restrictions: "Avoid Subdivision Access on Maryland
Monday, June 28th, 2004
Thanks to the Gene and Lillian Elliott this highpoint is permitted despite opposition from the neighboring Backbone Subdivision. DO NOT VIST the highpoint by going through the Backbone subdivision. Rather, go a mile into West Virginia and you will see the signs. It�s a pleasant walk. The highpoint is owned by West Pochontos Coal Company.

Waiver Required for Climbing Black Mountain, Kentucky
Friday, May 28th, 2004
The summit is owned by Penn Valley Coal Company. The State of Kentucky in 2000 bought the summit timber and mineral rights in a very contentious and high profile battle for $4 Million during which access was cut off. The Coal Company permits access but you must sign a liability waiver and mail it. You can get the waiver at http://americasroof.com/ky-release.html
