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River (AKA Ned Anderson Memorial) Bridge (mi 1461.6) have been completed and the resulting trail closure/relocation is no longer in effect.

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:
