[at-l] Tuscarora Trail Closure

[wb4pan at mindspring.com (Chase Davidson)]

WELL,
	The good thing is that this is a short section that is closed and it 
is near one end. There are some very large portions the TT on private 
land. We came to a lot of posted signs when we hiked it. The word on 
those particular posted areas was that hikers were welcome and hunters 
  and ATV's where not welcome. This section was probably closed 
because someone did not respect the property. You really can not blame 
a land owner if someone leaves trash, cuts trees or causes erosion. I 
try to follow a private land owners rules when crossing their 
property. If I have the chance to meet a landowner I always thank them 
for the use of their property. If they know that how much some people 
appreciate this privilege then maybe they will be less responsive to 
the occasional jerk. And a final plug for The Nature Conservancy who 
donated a portion of land for the TT to use.
