[at-l] Ernesto GO AWAY!!

[John Hedrick]

Today would not be a good day for a hike in the Park.  The real danger right 
now is a combination of falling trees and high water on the stream 
crossings.  If you stay on the AT the stream crossings won't be a major 
problem, but on the blue blazed trails some flooding could easily occur.

I just came down from the Park after spending the night in Gravel Spring 
Hut.  The Park is virtually deserted and the winds and heavier rain are only 
now beginning. I saw only one hiker yesterday and he was trying to get a 
hitch out of the Park. There was some thought yesterday to closing the major 
Campgrounds due to the danger of falling trees.  I don't know what the 
status is this morning.

We probably won't begin the trail assessment until sometime late Saturday or 
early Sunday.

Sorry about your hiking plans.
