NY State has decided to close Beaverkill Campground this year in an effort to cut costs. I am not entirely sure how operating a camp ground is a money losing venture, unless there is bloated overhead in terms of staffing, but that is a different issue altogether.
Sullivan County is seeking to have this decision reversed for the obvious negative economic impact such a decision will have on the surrounding communities which depend on tourist, ie. fishing, dollars.
Please sign the online petition to voice your displeasure with this short-sighted budget cut here.
And a thank you is due Catskill Flies in Roscoe, NY who are really winning me over as of late. This fly shop has gone from a reputation of having a miserly curmudgeon keeping watch over the store and all its over-priced merchandise while at the same time providing a great Stream Conditions resource, to a fly shop with a friendly, educational atmosphere that still has the great stream condition reports.
