Sorry if this is old news to many.
I just received an email from Richard Fenton (Supervising Forestor for NYSDEC) in response to my inquiry about the future NP re-route. He informed me that the plan is still in internal review and most likely wont be approved till next year.
They will be posting new signs about the closure which will more closely reflect the land owners wishes.
"FYI, the closure situation at the Macaluso property has changed somewhat. Mr. Macaluso no longer wants anyone contacting him for approval to hike through. We are removing the old signs and replacing them with slightly modified ones. See attached."
This is more in line with what Mr. Macalusco expressed to me when I contacted him for my last thru-hike. Here is the text of the new sign.
**********
