Trail Alert:  Fairview (125 mile marker ) to Stack Rock Trailhead (151.7 mile marker)  This 26.7 miles of the OHT has lots of hangers (fallen ice storm damage) blow downs across the trail. OHTA volunteers cleared this section of trail after the ice storm last year. The hangers have rotted and fallen. Hikers beware that this section is difficult to hike but will be cleared by fall.

Mile marker 102.3 (Gee Creek)-Trail washed out for approx.50ft. due to fallen tree and large root-ball.

Mile marker 119.4-Trail washed out and dangerous. Large trees across the trail from the 119.7 mile markker to the 122.1 mile marker.

 OHT is NOW open from Falling Water Creek to Richland Creek Campground ( mile markers 139.6 to 144.1) The road itself is still closed and the Richland Creek Campground is closed. The Forest Service has NO date set to reopen either the road or campground. 
A hearty crew of 10 volunteers sawed, lopped, sidehilled and blazed the slide area and beyond to re-open this section. Also the register box at the 144.3 mile maker was repaired and re-stocked with register cards and pencils for hikers.
Special thanks to Bobby Raney, Rita O'Kelly, George Regan, Ed (Chain-Saw) Hall, Mark Holt, Bill Dark, Wade(the ROCK MAN) Colwell, Jim McDaniel, Norma Senyard, and Roy Senyard.

 Use special caution in the area of mm 39.0 to 39.6 of the OHT when following an approximately  hundred yard temporary route bypassing a recent landslide as dangerous additional instablility may be present.
