It's prefabricated, taken apart, helo'd and rebuilt on site. Note markings on the log in the first picture. This blog entry talks about the process. http://trailsblog.outdoors.org/2010/10/new-eliza-brook-shelter-with-slideshow.html

Shelter pre-fabricated like the Eliza Brook shelter. Here are some pictures of the new shelter in pre-fabrication stage (from AMC News): article: http://news.outdoors.org/2011/09/photos-garfield-ridge-shelter-closed.html

Big ups! Congrats.

Rt 302 open as of 3PM. http://www.unionleader.com/article/20110916/NEWS11/110919908&source=RSS

Was told that the Carter Dome trail had major damage. Did you see any of this? Erosion etc. It is my new addition - adopted trail. Thanks.

Discussed in a previous thread: http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?t=39801 I don't know about regulations but lots of hikers carry folding Felco type saws to cut small blowdowns or to cut branches on blowdowns so folks can get by. Kicking leaves out of water bars/drainages is also helpful.

Dry River trailhead is closed per this list from the WMNF. http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/forests/white_mountain/conditions/cmpgrnds_trails_09052011.pdf Also, received an email from WMNF Saco saying the Dry River Trail & bridge were closed. EDIT: Might be best to confirm with Saco before or on your...

Just received a reply .. it is the Jericho Road Trailhead that is closed. Assuming they will update the website today.

Thanks for the green. Good luck with the event.

Email sent to the WMNF asking to clarify which trailhead is closed. Also assume it is the southern TH (Jericho RD?) closed due to access issues.

There is a good listing of trail closures on NETC. As the notes state, sometimes the trail conditions are unknown. I think most of the "trailhead closures" are due to access issues. WMNF Closures

Thanks for posting and for getting out there.

Back to our originally scheduled program (hopefully). The Forest Service has posted a list of trailhead (not trails?) that are closed (along with the list of campgrounds). I'm not sure if this is related to access or actual trail damage. EDIT. So is the trail closed or just the trailhead...

Date of Hike: 09/03/2011 Trail Conditions: dry. No blowdowns from TH to summit. 20 more drainages cleared (ready for the next storm :eek:) Special Equipment Required: Comments: Weather early in the morning didn't look ideal so I kept my options open. 10 pounds of steel between my axe and...

Thanks for the green. Just up there today finishing up. It's in pre-Irene condition, maybe better. Champney Falls Trail is open as well FYI (can't vouch for conditions) but sure it's fine).

Cool! how did you get the boards cut? Did you do it yourself?

una, regarding trails, as you may know already the districts seem to be entities on to themselves so I'd go with whatever instructions you got from Pemi. I'd help you with N. Twin on 9/9 but I'll be away at sea for my (real) work. Cheers

Received an email today from Saco District with pretty much the same message. Also, if a road or trail is closed, it is closed to everyone including volunteers/adopters.

Thanks all. I agree I think the main issue is going to be erosion. The blowdowns were old trees just waiting to come down.

I guess it is confusing for some and folks have gotten lost up there. I hope to re-blaze at some point. Blazing on rocks though isn't the best thing. Cairns - no rocks to speak of to build proper cairns up there. Also outside of my skill level.
