Breakthrough in the Empire State!
Great Eastern Trail is now a reality in New York State. Mr. Pat Monahan, "GET it in NY" Project Manager for Finger Lakes Trail Conference, reports the following:
"I am very proud to tell you that the Great Eastern Trail is on the ground in New York thanks to the efforts of 15 FLTC Board of Managers and officers and about 25 community members on July 26-27. Early next week, a roadwalk will be blazed (about 6 miles) from the NY/PA border to Addison (Pinnacle State Park) to provide for a continuous 14 mile route [connecting to Pennsylvania's Mid State Trail.]
We received excellent media coverage from WETM (Elmira) as the lead story for their 6:00 pm broadcast as well as additional coverage on the 11:00 news and their website. Here is the link: Story from WETM-TV"
