Hobo Stew – Paris Mtn. Fast Pace HIKE #3
Jan 1 @ 8:00 am – 12:00 pm
Paris Mountain State Park

Start the New Year off with a First Day Hike at Paris Mountain State Park. This hike is one of three being offered on the day and will proceed our Hobo Stew Lunch at Noon.

We will form carpools this year at the intersection of State Park and East Mountain Creek Roads:

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/34.7519272,-82.2981903/34.9145049,-82.3702707/@34.9145475,-82.3685746,18z/data=!4m5!4m4!1m1!4e1!1m0!3e0

The parking attendant will collect everyone’s can vegetables prior to hike departure and get your food to the chef. The start times from the carpooling site are shown below. Please arrive 15 minutes early to get into a carpool. State Park admission fee required; therefore, consider carpooling with drivers who have an annual State Park pass. We are carpooling into the park because of capacity limitations with other state park events. This is a condition of our club’s use of Shelters 5 and 6 on this date.

Hikes will start from different trailheads along State Park Road and will NOT start from Sulphur Springs Shelter as we have done in the past.

Start Time: 8:30 AM
Going counter-clockwise from the Archer Range parking lot we’ll head up Sulphur Springs and then take the Brissy Ridge and Pipsissewa Trails to North Lake. At North Lake, we’ll take a user trail over Piney Spur for decent winter views before descending to Firetower. We’ll then take Firetower to Sulphur Springs to descend to the shelters for the Hobo Stew.

This year’s theme of “Memory” is echoed in much of his works. ““Under the summer roses, when the flagrant crimson, lurks in the dusk, Of the wild red leaves, Love, with little hands, comes and touches you with a thousand memories, and asks you beautiful, unanswerable questions.” Carl Sandburg

Poems submitted for the 2024 contest should reflect the theme of “Memory.” By definition, “the process or power of recallling something learned or experienced from the past” Note: Poems do NOT need to be titled Memory, as long as the poem itself relates to the theme.

Students are invited to submit a poem to Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site’s annual Student Poetry Contest. The contest encourages youth to explore writing their own poetry and is open to students nationwide!
