For Immediate Release Contact: Kimberly Bonaccorso 859-745-3107 Gladie Center closed for maintenance WINCHESTER, Ky., Feb. 2, 2015 – The Gladie Learning Center in the Red River Gorge is temporarily closed to public visitation. Forest Service officials decided to close the center due to power line maintenance and construction needs. “Gladie will be without power, as well as telephone and internet service, throughout February and the first part of March,” said Tim Eling, Acting District Ranger with the Daniel Boone National Forest. “Once the electrical upgrades are complete, fewer power outages are likely to occur, which will help us provide more reliable service for visitors at Gladie throughout the year,” added Eling. Maps, firewood permits, and recreation fee passes for backcountry camping on the national forest lands in the Red River Gorge are available at the Stanton office, 705 West College Avenue. Recreational fee passes are also available at several convenience store locations in the area. The center is expected to reopen on March 9, resuming the summer schedule for visitation from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily.
