Florida Thru Hiker
Some of you may have met this girl at one of the Florida Trail conferences. She is a thru hiker from Germany who contacted me when she was hiking in the section I oversee. Thought I would post her Blog so you could follow her travels and give her some encouragement as her hike has not been the best experience.

Unfulfilled Promises Threaten a Fragile Resource
Sorry to not be so caught up in just all the beauty....
In my understanding the Florida Trail was going to go through this airport area but St. Joe (paper co.) etc...would not allow it. I am not sure of the politics....Currently the Florida Trail is just north of all this mess but it still really makes me sick to see it.
This effects two seperate creeks and West Bay etc...etc...
What a nightmare. I had hopes that this new N.Florida airport

JW Corbett - Bowman Island Camp 2-13-2010
The JW Corbett WMA is in north Palm Beach County and I’ve been there only once back in the early 90’s. Since I’ve seen some interesting post in these forums, I decided to visit part of the Florida Scenic Trial Spur – “Ocean-to-Lake” that travels through Corbett. Bowman Island Camp is one of the “designated” sites on the Florida Trial about 6.5 miles from the trailhead and I made this my destina

What is the biggest mushroom you ever saw?
I was in Cypress Creek Natural Area hiking today and saw this huge Mushroom. It was the biggest one I have ever seen. Look at my GPS! This thing was huge. It was sitting on top of this cut down Australian pine tree. What is the biggest mushroom you have seen?

Who is on the FT this week?
Well, I took Mingo, Bluegill and Trailtalker up to Rodman Dam today to start their week long journey up to Gold Head Branch. I am meeting them Tuesday afternoon for a food drop. Somewhere off 100 out our Palatka. I know this morning the water level on this first leg was over ankle deep and the temps are expected to drop into the 20's tonight. So, we will see how they fair. We had to take a picture of them actually crossing over the locks as "proof" they crossed it....hahahah

Econfina Creek Waterfall, etc..
I hiked to the Econfina Creek waterfall again the other day. It was a beautifaul day to hike but I did get one chigger that caught me by surprise. What are chiggers doing out in late January anyway? The real good news is that it was only one chigger.
I have heard a few say this Econfina Creek waterfall is actually not a waterfall so I have been asking around a bit. I was talking to another Florida

CONTEST: Cypress Creek Natural Area. 2-7-10
Every weekend I try to come up with an area I want to hike. This weekend I had my eyes on Cypress Creek Natural Area. I saw there were some new caches placed out there and it would be a hike to get to them. I took the bait! I woke up early and packed my pack for a good day hike. I started my hike by bushwhacking my way to a service road. I then took the service roads to all the caches. I haven’
