SATC was not aware of any proposal that would have required an actual relocation of the A.T. itself.
The earlier proposal, supposedly abandoned (see
http://www.savestonyvalley.com/ ) would have turned over a section of the north slope of Second Mountain, south of Stony Creek, to the military.
At the point nearest this location the A.T. is one ridgeline to the north, actually just on the north side of that ridgeline.
One's enjoyment of this section of A.T. would be negatively impacted by noise and possibly stray fire coming even closer than it does now - and by the more frequent closure of a rough road through FTIG used by hunters, maintainers, and day hikers. (I'm the maintainer from Cold Spring trail to Yellow Springs hollow so my volunteer work on your behalf would have been severely affected.)
Stony Creek is a State Wild & Scenic River, and there is much history visible under years of growth in the neighborhood of Cold Spring that would have been effectively closed off to public use much of the year by the earlier proposal.
How many more schemes to destroy "St. Anthony's Wilderness" will we see before the public demands permanent security for this publicly owned patchwork? I suspect at least one more.
