I just saw this posted over on TOS and wanted to repost:
NOTICE! Limestone Springs shelter and camping area have been closed since June 4th due to hazard trees in both areas. With the death earlier this year at the Ed Garvey shelter due to a falling tree, the CT-AMC has been conducting a series of inspections at all of our camping and lean-to sites. With nine trees identified as hazards, the situation at Limestone was declared by the ATC/NPS/AMC as requiring immediate closure and the hiring of a professional arborist to make the area safe for visitors. A notice of the re-opening of the site will be posted here on Whiteblaze.net as well as other outlets.

Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.
