  On October 18^th, 2009, members and friends of the APO gathered to begin the process of preparing the access road that the Adirondack Park Agency will need to begin site testing. The group toured the site, and APO President Marc Staves ceremoniously felled the first tree.

  Update: On October 25^th, John Varden of Able Abe Diversified Services donated his time to help create a well-defined access road, and clear some trees around the site where the roll-off roof building will be constructed. Scroll down for updated photos.
