Glad I saw this before heading out! Will it be rescheduled?

Glad to see that the firetower on Lyon is potentially going to be restored. It holds a special place for me - it was the first Adirondack mountain I ever climbed, 40 years ago

They announced the closing on WIRY(local radio) last night.Lyon mountain is a great mountain , with good views.It needs a new trail as the old one is washed out and rutted. If they(Algonquin ADK) reschedules , I will post.
Happy Trails Tom
