"Yeah, I parked at FS 13, there is a small turnout big enough for a few vehicles.  I had to detour through the woods near Stage Pond too back in October, wonder what that's like in a really wet year?"

"I overnighted at Taylor Camp (D Loop) a few months back. (Very hot weekend) The site wasn't bad at all, almost no skeeters. Getting around Stage Pond was a issue, very flooded and had to detour off the trail a good ways to get through. Boots…"

"If this helps any the primitive campsite on the D loop is in a pretty low-lying area, I would think the mosquitoes would get bad at dusk.  I started where FR 13 crossed the D loop, north of Tillis Hill, and walked counterclockwise so I would be…"

"Hector, sorry got confused. :)"

"sorry. just not my thing.  I'll take a river walk any day. I have a cabin in Eureka FL near the green way, and one in Franklin N.C. no old burned fields in either place. although there is alot of poison Ivy, lol  there were two guy…"

""alot of long leaf pine, scrub oaks and sand, nothing special"  Hey, some of us think Sandhill communities are awesome!  LOL, you should check out that area again in October when all the wildflowers are in bloom.  Amazing…"

"I haven’t done D loop yet, we did A and B loop only. We started at Holder Mine and camped at Jackson primitive campsite. We will do C and D separately in a couple of weeks. Looking at the map looks like Mutual Mine is the safest way to go."

"Hector, where did you start and camp while doing the D loop? I have started at Mutual Mine but it's a little out of the way."

" I went down a little early and hiked A&B loops on thursday. I was going to camp on the trail, but I got there @ 1:45 and I was pretty disapointed in the trail so I finished and went home.  alot of long leaf pine, scrub oaks and sand,…"

"so do you recommend staying at holder mine or would you do something diffrent? what were the fee's? was there any down sides I should watch for?"

"Check out my pictures from Citrus Hiking Trail Loop A and B"

"The D loop is really cool, it covers a really nice variety of habitats, I'd agree that it is one of the best hikes in FL.  A loop was nice too, has some cool topography and well-maintained sandhill habitat."

"I've haven't yet been to the state forest, only the state park.  Its on my list for someday though."

"When I was there water was still in a creek that the trail goes over roughly about a mile west of Panther, it looked fairly clear but I'd definitely carefully filter it since there are a lot of feral hogs in the area.  I'm sure if you…"

"no agenda Jim, I just wing it.  I'm walking the trail walkers list first wich includes loop A @ citrus tract, then watever else I see will be a plus.  I'm most likely to work most of friday but I'll try to get out as early…"

"I'm intrested in the pump too, I'll have to check into that.  I plan on doing north and south loop of the trail walker list.  looks like camping on the river of north loop, I havnt called about it or anything, can you shed some…"
