As someone who views Straightback from my deck and as one who hikes Straightback regularly, this is very upsetting to me. Both Straightback and Mt. Major are NOT owned by the state but are private property. Also access to Strightback from my neck of the woods is private property. Can't say as I'd blame them for cutting off this access. As usual, the actions of a few (who never stop to think how their actions might affect others) have a profound affect on others. But, does this surprise anyone? All you have to do is go out driving in your car to see people in their own world with no regard as to how their actions might adversely affect others.
