The Carolina Mountain Club just published their latest newsletter. There are a couple of items hikers might be interested in:

* Author Danny Bernstein will be presenting a slide show entitled Hiking North Carolina's Blue Ridge Heritage at the Henderson County Library on Thursday March 18 at 4 P.M. For each book sold, Diamond Brand Outdoors will donate two dollars to one of their favorite charities - Muddy Sneakers. The library is located at 301 N Washington Street in Hendersonville (call 828-697-4725 for more details).

* Ms. Bernstein recently returned from a trip to Big Bend National Park where she spent time hiking in the Chisos Mountains. She has a couple of postings about her trip including several pictures on her blog.

According to the Great Smoky Mountains Association Newsletter that was just delivered to my email in-box, the Cades Cove Loop Road is scheduled to be closed for rehab for 10 weeks in 2010.

The road repair is scheduled to begin on or about March 1, 2010, and will conclude on or about May 15.

During this time, the loop road will be closed to the public. Access beyond the gates will be prohibited. The campground, store and horse concession will continue to remain in operation.

The newsletter is not posted on their website yet.
