    The reroute that was in place for the first three weeks of October is now back to its normal route on the Appalachian Trail.
    Repairs to the 10 Mile River (AKA Ned Anderson Memorial) Bridge (mi 1461.6) have been completed and the resulting trail closure/relocation is no longer in effect.

    This is cut and pasted from the Facebook page of Bill Cooke (Cookerhiker).

    The hiking community mourns another loss with the passing of Raymond Myers aka "Rain Man" last weekend at the age of 66. Coming a mere two weeks after the passing of Don “Hikerhead” Hoke, this is quite a jolt.

    A native of South Carolina and proud graduate of Clemson, Rain Man lived in Nashville, TN where he practiced law and was active in his Christian faith community. He and his wife raised 3 daughters, one of whom I met by happenstance before I knew him; my hiking partner Keith Bance and I shared a shelter on the Appalachian Trail in Georgia with his daughter Sarah.

    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.
