Thanks for posting that. My boys and I were going to hike that section this year, but were concerned about the condition after the wild fires. We're looking forward to it next season.
I started my boys out when they were 8yr which made them strong enough to carry some of their own gear (limited). I'm thinking about letting my daughter next year when she turns 7 mainly because she really really wants to go. I'll limit her to some…
Just wanted to update my earlier post in August. Unfortunately do to an unexpected surgery our backpacking season has been cancelled this year so that is why I haven't extended the invites to our planned trips. We'll still head out for traditional c…
What a beautiful video of an awesome cat!!! Wish I were lucky enough to spot one!!!
I have seen one in Canaveral National Seashore fishing in the State Park on Mosquito Lagoon. I did not have a camera ready due to being packed in the tackle box in the trunk of the car when we were leaving. I would let Florida Game and Fish know abo…
That is a great picture of a Great Blue Heron in the rain. Looks like it should be a cover photo for a magazine.
Very nice. It looks like you had a perfect day to hike.
Hello everyone. We're starting to gear up for this seasons hikes. So far we're planning on heading to the Coastal Prairie Trail (Everglades), St. Joseph Penisula SP, Big Oak Trail (FT along Suwannee River), FT from Juniper Springs to Salt Springs in…
Mike, most of us don't have access to a helicopter for nature photography. Happy to have you show them off here! Nice slow rotating shot of the eagle there in the middle.
I don't know about evertyone else..but I personally like your videsos. Keep 'em coming! =)
Nice shots! Amazing the helicopter did not scare the birds away.

Spotted these a couple of years ago about 3 miles South of Hwy 50 along the River. I wasn't on a hike at the time, but still nice to see.
(Feel free to remove these video's if you don't think they fit the theme of the site.)
We found it just North of SR 50 & 520 near the Bithlo Towers. (The Giant 1500' towers)
Wow! Was that in Hal Scott Preserve? Hadn't thought about panthers being that close to Orlando, although they do have a few in captivity at nearby Jungle Adventures in Christmas.

St. George Island State Park
I've been taking my boys (12 & 8) backpacking with me for a little over a year now and they both have been asking to go on a hike with a beach. We decided to head out to St George Island State Park this past April. The trail starts out at the rear of the on-site camping just behind the play ground. We knew we would have a good trip when we spotted a Bald Eagle circling low overhead before we even got our packs out of the car.
