Good morning, My friend Randolph Schultz sent me an email yesterday with information I wanted to share with the birding community. West Point military has closed Mine Torn Road to the public. Some of you might have trips planned to the area, and were looking forward to seeing the breeding birds along Mine Torn Road. Sorry for bringing bad news...
>From their newsletter: "Mine Torne Road closed to the public Mine Torne Road is no longer a thoroughfare and is closed on both ends. This road is only for military training access and used by authorized patrons for access to hunting and fishing areas. If the gates are open, do not enter unless you have specific permission. Authorized users may sign out a key to Gate 63 (Mine Torne Road) from the range operations fire-desk (Bldg. 1403) between 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday. Accessibility to Mine Torne Road and all other venues within the West Point Training Complex are determined based on military training requirements. For details, call Alec M. Lazore, range officer, at 845-938-3007."
