Logging near Mile 4 Goat Main: Upper Eagle River and Smokey's Blue Ridge Trails

Stuart Glen of Western Forest Products writes to advise us of the following:

"We are commencing pre-poling activities in ST-245 tomorrow and therefore will need to close the SCT when we are falling adjacent. I will have the contractor post signage for the periods when they will be within reach of the trail. The Goat Main Loop is also closed as the poles are being yarded to this road."

Avoid this area for the time being and choose another section to hike. It may be a month or more, as it is weather dependent.
