After being out on the trail for 3 days last week and talking with friends who were out on another section the thought came to me to ask about clearing progress of the trail after some of this winters larger than normal ice storms.
I maintain the section of trail from NY Rt 22 south to the top of Corbin Hill. My section has been cleared and I have also checked the section continuing south of here to just north of Nuclear Lake, all clear.
Just hiked north from Cluvers Gap NJ 206 to the NY/NJ state-line. There were still a number of small blow downs that you have to step over or around. There seemed to be more from the Sunrise Pavilion to Mashipacong Shelter and then again near the monument. The side trail to the high point monument it's self was a bit tough to find due to blow downs.
I would love to hear from others out there as top how the trail clearing is going. I know that the areas to the north of me, CT, Mass and VT got the storm hard. Anyone who has covered those areas lately wants to give a run down that would be great.
