Subject:
Tellico Closure Order
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2007 11:52:14
From: Bill Champion <bchampion@fs.fed.us>
Just to keep you informed - the new order for Tellico has been signed by the Forest Supervisor, effective January 30, 2007.
We will be implementing the seasonal trail closures on Lower Trail 2, Trail 7, Trail 9, and Trail 10 as soon as possible. We will also be installing the camping restriction signs along Trails 1 & 5 as soon as possible. This work will probably begin next week, weather permitting.
The new order prohibits the following acts:
- Camping in the Allen Gap and State Line trailhead parking areas - (and yes this does include staying inside a totally enclosed RV parked there).
- Roadside camping on Trail # 1 and Trail # 5, except in those areas designated by posted sign.
- Possession or use of a motorized vehicle on the lower section of Trail 2, or on Trails 7, 9, and 10 from January 1 through March 31 on an annual basis.
If you could get this information out on your web site I would appreciate it and also notify your membership so we can begin spreading the word around.
If you have any questions etc. please feel free to call me anytime.
Thanks.
