NY-NJTC Work Planned

Fred J. Aun writes in New Jersey's 'Star-Ledger' of 13 May 2007 about the work being done on the Appalachian Trail by the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference in preparation for the meeting of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy at Ramapo. His piece is titled "Appalachian Trail gets some repairs."

In particular, he says,

"High on the to-do list is the repair of an AT bridge in Vernon.

"Built last autumn by the Conference, the bridge carries AT hikers over a wet section of the Vernon lowlands just west of Wawayanda Mountain between Route 94 and Canal Road. Make that "carried" hikers over the water; the span was knocked out of place last month when the normally demure stream it traverses flooded from a nor'easter deluge."

It's quite a structure. I remember hiking over it the summer after it was completed.
