The Bridgestone/Firestone Centennial Wilderness will be closed for hiking on New Years Day because of the big game hunting season...Our annual hike has had to find a new home...We will be hiking the 4 mile Centennial Trail at Edgar Evins State Park this year. We will meet at the covered picnic shelters at the marina parking area to carpool to the trail head. This is an easy hike that includes lake views as well as deep woods. We will go by abandoned homesteads where people were relocated when Center Hill Lake was impounded, a former moonshine still and other artifacts of a time gone by. There won't be any creek crossings to contend with this time. This is the trail that TTA built to celebrate the park's 25th anniversary in 2000. It has a special significance since 7 TTA Chapters were represented in building it. We will have our traditional New Years Feast at the shelters with roaring fires to knock off the winter chill and be able to eat at tables instead of off the bare ground! The park is furnishing the shelters and firewood at no cost...There are electrical outlets in case someone wants to bring appliances...Hot coffee anyone?
