Re. Post Closing as a Public Throughway – Weisnicht advised that they are moving ahead with the plan to close off the post as a public throughway.

Governor’s residence and Funck’s Family Restaurant. A visitor’s center will also go there. Folks will be diverted through the visitor’s center to get permission to enter onto the Gap.
