High Crossing - Hampton Furnace Road is closed

[ecampbell]

New sighs at High Crossing. Similar signs placed where it was posted previously. It is also marked at the HF end, right near the ruins. For those of you who like to paddle the Skit there is no way to get near the Skit Bridge now.

So this means to get to Quarter Mile you have to park at the ruins and walk all the way from there. They must also be trying to stop the doughnut maker before the bridge.

The signs are here at the pins?

Where is Skit Bridge?

 

[ecampbell]

Yes

Last summer the HF end of the road was a swamp, I turned around. Have they fixed it.

The Skit Bridge.

They fixed the road by the canoe launch at HF but ignored the road to HC. It is much worse now, especially from the person creating the hugh donut, deliberately destroying the road. But no mind, can't go there anymore.

Any reason the road could not be closed at the bridge?

 

[ecampbell]

I don't see any reason at all. I sure would like to get to the bridge to put in or take out my kayak. The Skit is a very scenic river, it would be a same not to visit it anymore., and lots of people do kayak it. The roads to Q mile are after the bridge.
I actually think the placing of the signs was somewhat arbitrary, or just plain ignorance as to the value of that little river.

Looking at the map, it just seems to me that the bridge would be a logical choke point to close it off and keep the interested parties happy.

The real bad part was past the skit bridge.

Are live trees still being felled to block access?

Are live trees still being felled to block access?

Was out there today, no trees just signs. And by the number of tire tracks there not working.

whoever cut the trees down if found should be charged.
