Attention New Jersey hikers, and those hikers from the surrounding areas headed to the Delaware Water Gap:
News broke today of a fire on Mt. Tammany in the Delaware Water Gap. Numerous sources have plenty of information:
At this time I did not see anything on the Worthington State Forrest page, nor did I see anything on the Delaware Water Gap National Park page.
It is reported that the fire was contained this afternoon. Trails to the summit have been reported as closed, though sites are reporting that the Appalachian Trail remained open.
I was checking the National Parks Service page on Free Days and I see that on Monday, November 11, 2019, Veterans Day, National Parks will be free.
Those of you with National Parks near by will be able to take advantage of free trails for the day.

There are many miles of trails to walk and lots of history to absorb.
