Road near LBJ Ranch Closed to Visitors for Safety
Secret Service agents and Texas troopers will close the Pedernales River Loop road to outsiders whenever the President is at the LBJ Ranch. The action, cited for the President's safety, may also reflect hunters in the deer season opening last weekend. Blockades were placed at the west gate, near a Boy Scout hut, at the east end where U.S. 290 meets the ranch road, and at the Lutheran Church along the road.
