I did a hike with the RATC a few weeks ago that started and ended at the closed gates. It was loop using FS roads, the AT and the Curry Creek trail. No way can that road be roped off like that and the neighbors just sound like they're paranoid. You should have asked the policeman about that wire across the road. And no, we didn't see anything blocked off and I'm assuming we were on the same road, the one that passes Camp Bethel.

yes that is the road the creek goes under the traintracks thru the road. i came out of the woods just past the goofy looking like tree house thing made on metal stilts instead of a tree.. the wire used to be just blocking the lil spot where u can put like a car and at the end of tht lil spot there is a sign tht says road closed foot travel welcome. but has since been moved down the street where the driveways kinda branch off.. paranoia is wht i was thnkn i wonder whts brewn down curry creek road they dnt want seen :-?
