Celebrating 35 years
January 20th - Thirty-five years ago Charlie and Nancy exchanged wedding vows. This year they celebrated at Hocking Hills Old Mans Cave for the 42nd winter hike. We had a great time.
The following was written in The Logan Newspaper:
On Saturday, assembled hikers are departing continuously between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. fromthe Old Man's Cave Visitor Center. Groups of hikers start down the six-mile trail to Ash Cave at regular intervals until 11 a.m. Park officials urge hikers to arrive by 10:30 a.m. and to dress warmly. Sturdy hiking boots are also suggested. The hike takes approximately five hours.
Logan Kiwanis club members are serving a lunch of bean soup, cornbread and hot chocolate at Cedar Falls, the mid-way point of the hike. Donations are encouraged.
The first hikers came to Hocking Hills State Park 42 years ago, according to the Hocking Hills State Park Web site. The 60-person hike was led by the Park Naturalist Norv Hall. The record year for hikers was in 1998 with 5,200 visitors. Even though the hike is held in snow, rain, and shine, the winter hike was cancelled one year - in 1978 - because of a blizzard. There were still 70 hikers who showed up that year. Winter hike souvenir patches and hiking staff emblems also are available for purchase. Transportation is being provided from Ash Cave back to Old Man's Cave following the hike.
