Murrayville Road right of way runs all the way to the lake.
The last property owner on the west side of the road is:
GAMBLE JAMES E JR &
JIM GAMBLE
620 WHEELER LN
LAFOLLETTE, TN 37766
The last property owner on the east side of the road is:
NELSON GREGORY L
141 ELIZABETHTON WAY
CLINTON, TN 37716
USA
Neither of these owners should be able to legally block the road. If you are on the road you are on public right of way that should not be blocked. If you are near the lake you are on public land. As far as I know, TVA has not closed caves. This appears to be a matter of over protection by the locals, trying to keep people off public land. I can understand that but it doesn't make it right.
I hope you can make the property viewer work. It is a valuable tool for cavers from Mountain City to Memphis. It has helped me get permission several times.
