Blazing: Volunteers blazing the section of trail between 3N/S 10.52 to 12.92 (boundary between Sececa SF and BSA) mistakenly put new BLUE blazes below the faded yellow blazes of the ALT. Hikers should follow the BLUE blazing in this area if the yellow blazing is not found.

Lost Items: Lost is a Woodmans Pal (large machete in a leather sheath with a knuckle guard) on the segment of trail between BSA scout camp and Seneca State Forest trailhead.  Also lost is a stainless Coleman mug in the area mentioned above.

Cheat Canyon: Allegheny Wood Products (AWP) has temporarily closed the Allegheny Trail through Cheat Canyon for road construction. For instructions on the current route from Mt. Nebo to Muddy Run, please see the new instructions, which should be considered as an addendum to the hiking guide.

Future Re-route: The Army National Guard is enlarging its practice firing range and will close the abandoned county road that the ALT currently uses. National Guard personnel are working with ALT maintainers to establish an alternate route. 

Trail Warning:  As of November 2009, the tread at the southern ascent/descent of Shavers Mountain is still very difficult (Guidebook map caption: Section 2 N/S Map 14 Milepoints 63.34-66.09).  Watch for loose scree and narrow tread, especially near the top of the ridge.
