Some of you may have noticed Eeek's post that the Tamarack Flat camp ground has been given over to a native american spiritual retreat for 12 days starting June 6. But what the post doesn't mention is that the trail head is closed, too. The access road will be closed at Tioga Road to anyone who doesn't have the right ethnicity, or something.
Bad news for anyone planning to start or end a hike there. I sent an e-mail to the park service, trying to find out who will be controlling the access, but they ducked the question.
I have no quarrel with a bunch of guys doing their thing in the woods, but am annoyed that I have to cancel plans because they want to do it while blocking trail access that I was planning to use....
