We lost another hiker, friend, and asset to the Appalachian Trail community on 02 August.
Known here on WhiteBlaze as Hikerhead and to the Appalachian Trail community as Hokey Pokey. He was one of the original members of WhiteBlaze. He contributed a lot to the WhiteBlaze web site in its early days.

Don’s obituary is here:

The blue blazed side trail off Bulls Bridge Road in Kent, CT, and all NPS land between the AT and the Housatonic River are closed until further notice due to resource damage. Parking on Bulls Bridge Road, Schaghticoke Road, and Route 7 in Kent is prohibited.
This is at the AT Northbound mile of 1462.3 in the WhiteBlaze Pages guidebook.
