Here's part of the note I saved from that posting:

   [Father] Fred [Alvaras] indicated that the hikers can make use 
   of the ball field shelter from May through November. Fred notes, 
   "We are making plans to physically improve the shelter for the 
   hikers and plan to continue to offer supper (5:30) and breakfast 
   (7:30) to hikers who use the ball field shelter during July and 
   August. One thing that we want the hiking community to know is 
   that, despite this emergency situation, hikers are welcome at 
   Graymoor."

I'm still planning on stopping.
