Greetings All –

 

I have not heard from anyone interested on joining us on this hike.  If I don’t receive an email from you by Thursday evening, Ron and I will skip the meeting place on Saturday (see below) and operate on our own schedule.

 

Thanks –

Greetings All –

 

Ron Foresta and I are going to Cumberland Gap National Historic Park on Friday evening, October 22 to camp out.  On Saturday, we will hike to the historic Hensley Settlement.  All are welcome to camp and hike. 

 

We will meet hikers at 9:30am on Saturday at the picnic area just before you get to the Wilderness Road campground.  Eat dust will be 9:45.  Bring lunch, water and appropriate footwear.

 

Please email me if you plan to join us.  [log in to unmask]  If there are more than one coming from Knoxville, I’ll try to hook you up for a potential car pool from town.

 

Here’s a description of the hike:

Directions to the picnic area from Harrogate, TN are to take Hwy. 25E to Hwy. 58 East.  From the junction, go about 2.0 miles and you will see the sign for the Wilderness Road Campground.  Turn left off of Hwy. 58.  The picnic area is on the left before you enter the campground.  We’ll meet somewhere within sight of the restrooms.
