Chairside Chat
By Bill Turman, Chapter Chair
Hello Fellow FTA Members and “Future” FTA
Members,
Happy New Year!
I hope all of your holidays were filled with good cheer and happiness. It is hard to believe that we are now in 2024, almost a quarter of the way through the century. Many of our members rang in the New Year at the 40th Annual FTA Campout, held at Doe Lake Campground up in the Ocala National Forest. The outing included several days of good fellowship and outdoor recreation. Now that the holidays are over and we are all getting back in the swing of things, it is time to work on those New Year’s resolutions, and hopefully you have one or more related to the FTA. It could be to increase your participation in our meetings, outdoor activities, or trail maintenance. It could be to ensure that your membership renewal is promptly sent in, you increase the number of raffle tickets you purchase, you bring a big bag of aluminum cans to the meeting, or you make an additional monetary contribution to the FTA. It could be that you decide to take on a position of leadership within the chapter. We would love to have a few new Activity Leaders, to provide activities. Whatever you chose for your FTA resolution, your commitment to meeting it is greatly appreciated. We have some great upcoming activities planned, including the 30th Annual Winter Wednesday Hiking Series / Thursday Paddle Series. Our Activity Leaders are also working overtime to provide a slate of interesting and educational programs and activities for your enjoyment. We still have some trail work to do including a couple of bridge replacements. Come on out! I would like to thank you in advance for making 2024 the best year ever for the Florida Trail Association and the Central Florida Chapter. Happy Trails! Bill.
A couple of thought provoking quotes:

Location: Chuluota, FL
Chapter: Central Florida
As an active member of the Florida Trail Association, Christopher has gained valuable insights into the challenges faced and opportunities provided by the Florida Trail. He envisions a future where the Florida National Scenic Trail is not only preserved, but is also inclusive and welcoming to individuals of all backgrounds and identities. As an outspoken advocate for outdoor recreation and protection of the natural lands in our state, Christopher feels it would be an honor to serve as a member of the Board of Directors. His background is rich in volunteerism and community service, particularly in terms of conservation. He co-created the blog Sunshine State Seekers in 2018, which quickly morphed into a social media presence where he frequently promotes nature-minded efforts throughout Florida. This involvement with the community has provided many opportunities to become directly involved with various organizations that Christopher believes are making a big difference. On a local level, Christopher is a board member of the Seminole County Parks and Preservation Advisory Committee, and regularly assists with county maintenance activities, having adopted a nearby park. He attends trail maintenance with the Florida Trail Association every chance he gets and has participated with the Central Florida Chapter for several years, currently serving as the Vice Chair.

Christopher is also an active member of the Florida Native Plant Society and Springs Council. As a writer for Floridahikes.com, he applies his communication skills to inspire others to connect with nature and seek out the many opportunities for hiking and exploring our beautiful state. Christopher provided extensive research to the fourth edition of the Florida Hikes Florida Trail Guide and continues to work with them to keep the Florida Trail section of the FarOut app as up to date as possible. Christopher is confident that his passion, experience, and dedication make for an outstanding candidate for the Florida Trail Association Board of Directors. He looks forward to the opportunity to contribute to the continued success of the Florida Trail Association.

A look back on January Events! | |

Chapter Meeting at Leu Gardens
Our Central Florida Chapter had a well-attended general meeting on January 18th. We welcomed 4 new visitors, raised $30, and heard an interesting presentation from one of our own, Vicki Green. Vicki is a retired Geologist from the United States Geological Survey and now is a volunteer with the National Park Service. Specifically, she volunteers at America’s first national park, Yellowstone!
Yellowstone will turn 152 years old this year and has some of the most important and beautiful areas preserved in our country. Yellowstone contains approximately 2.2 million acres, touches three states (Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho), and if you placed it on top of Florida, the almost square park would stretch from Crystal River to Sanford to Frostproof and to Tampa! It is the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined.
It contains the Yellowstone River which is the principal tributary of the Missouri River – the longest free flowing river in the lower 48. Yellowstone is also home to more than 10,000 hydrothermal features and more than 500 geysers – the most famous of which is Old Faithful who erupts thousands of 200+ degree water 130 feet in the air for a few minutes every hour and a half!
In addition to the water features, Yellowstone is home to 282 grizzly bears, 5000 bison, and around 140 wolves. Over the years there have been many opportunities for conservation to keep these species healthy. It was noted that the grizzly bears were killing elk calves for food because the rivers were full of brown trout which were eating the hatchlings of the bear’s favorite food – the Cutthroat trout. Now it is allowed to catch Brown trout, not Cutthroat trout improving their numbers so the Elk can be protected. Healthy populations of wolves improve the balance in the ecosystem. The park can safely sustain 5000 bison so when the numbers get too high, bison are sold off. 30 of which were shipped to Payne’s Praire right in our backyard!
A big thank you to Vicki for sharing her experience at Yellowstone National Park!
Be sure to attend our next general meeting on February 15th!

What an incredible turnout we had at this year's Billy Goat Day celebration on January 27th! Over 200 hiking enthusiasts gathered at Lake Mills Park in Chuluota to commemorate this special occasion. Among the attendees were numerous 2024 Florida Trail thru-hikers who added to the lively atmosphere of camaraderie and adventure.
The event kicked off with the arrival of legendary hikers Billy Goat and Nimblewill Nomad, who graciously shared their wisdom and stories with eager listeners. It was a privilege for everyone present to chat with these trailblazing icons.
Thanks to the hard work of volunteers and the enthusiasm of attendees, everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Whether it was welcoming a trickle of thru-hikers arriving at the campground on Friday or serving up a hearty breakfast on Sunday morning, the sense of community was palpable.
The location at Lake Mills Park provided the perfect backdrop for a day filled with laughter, good food, and shared experiences. The picnic pavilion buzzed with activity as attendees enjoyed a smorgasbord of lunch options and desserts, all provided by the FT Thru Hike Organization.
Billy Goat Day is not just a celebration—it's a tradition that brings together past, present, and future members of the Florida Trail hiking community. For many, it's an annual opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make new ones while basking in the shared love of the great outdoors.
Reflecting on the origins of Billy Goat Day, which began as a humble gathering to surprise Billy Goat on his 70th birthday, it's remarkable to see how it has grown over the years. From its inception at a Golden Corral to its current incarnation in the serene setting of Lake Mills Park, the spirit of camaraderie and adventure remains unchanged.
As we bid farewell to another successful Billy Goat Day, we extend our gratitude to everyone who attended and contributed to the festivities. Your enthusiasm and support make this event possible, and we look forward to seeing you all again next year!

Puncheon Project
In the recent enhancements to Wikey Walkway from Lockwood, the team integrated 50 feet of puncheon to improve accessibility and stability. A puncheon is a wooden walkway typically constructed from logs or planks, often used to traverse wet or muddy terrain. Its purpose is to provide a solid, elevated pathway, preventing pedestrians from sinking into the ground or encountering obstacles. The addition of puncheon not only enhances the walkability of the area but also ensures that visitors can navigate the path with ease and safety.

New Christmas Creek Bridge
The bridge on the Florida National Scenic Trail spanning the Christmas Creek located in Bronson State Forest had reached the end of it's useful life and has been replaced with a new stronger and longer 24 foot timber bridge by 14 members of our Chapter. The bridges in our Chapter are used as a convenience for both hikers and our powered mowing equipment to safely cross the rivers, creeks, and streams. The planning process was conducted by Jerry Rogers who obtained approval of the design from both Jenna Taylor, FTA Regional Trail Program Manager and Steve Stipkovits, State Forest Ranger. Steve provided the material and delivered the three beams to the build site. The physical construction process consisted of a half day in which the lumber and fastening hardware was inventoried then the lumber was cut, drilled, and labeled. Bridge assembly day consisted of dismantling the old bridge, excavating a new foundation, then assembling the new bridge with a minimum of in-the-field cutting and drilling. The last day was installation of the steps and the refurbished welcoming sign which was hand painted by Rachael Augspurg. Two thru hikers passed through while we were nearing completion. A special appreciation is given to Bill Turman and Pete Law. Bill provided his proven engineered drawings which are being incorporated as a "design standard" within our Chapter. Pete patiently mentored others on layout, cut, and assembly methods.

Highlighted Hike of the Month! | |
Black Bear Wilderness Area
Easily one of the most popular of Seminole County’s Natural Lands, Black Bear Wilderness Area is a well-known destination for hikers and trail runners in the area. Using a series of berms constructed years ago alongside the St. Johns River, a seven-mile loop trail starts and ends at the large parking area off Michigan avenue in Sanford. A few years ago, Seminole County added several impressive boardwalks that extend off the berm and over the river with spectacular views.
From the trailhead, an accessible concrete sidewalk winds through a subtropical hammock to a tall boardwalk leading to the beginning of the loop trail. Heading right at this junction is best for first-time visitors, as this is the shortest route to the river, where folks can turn around and return to the trailhead instead of tackling the whole loop.
As the path sticks to the tops of elevated berms, the trail typically remains dry while traveling through the vast forested floodplain. Dense canopies provide plentiful shade along the length of the trail, although a copious number of exposed roots make for tricky footing in many spots. Near the halfway point, a primitive backpacking campsite is nestled under a stand of tall cabbage palms. Reservations can be made ahead of time to stay the night in this remote corner of the county in a truly wild landscape.
Because of this park’s popularity, it has the potential to be very busy, especially on weekends. Weekdays are usually the best time to experience a quieter hike along the trail.

Brush Mower Donation Drive
Exciting news! We're close to achieving our goal for a new DR brush mower for the 2024 trail maintenance season. Thanks to your generosity! Your support is vital in maintaining the trails we love.

We can only accept cash or check donations, conveniently made at monthly meetings, trail work days, or by mail to the chapter treasurer. For check payment details, reach out to us via email: cfchapter@floridatrail.org.
