On our trip to Collier Seminole State Park last year, Steve and I hiked through an area that had just been reopened after a prescribed burn. Parts of the forest floor and many tree trunks were still smoldering! Surprisingly, though, the palmettos and ferns were already putting up new shoots. I guess nature is going […]
Ichetucknee Springs State Park is a bit of a trek from our Eustis home, but has always been worth the travel. We like to travel the back roads and enjoy the green landscapes, which always look cool even when the temperature is not. On previous trips, we’ve floated down the river in rented innertubes and […]
Bear-N-Oak trail in Indian Lake State Forest is one of the Florida Trailwalker program trails, and we highly recommend it. It is an easy hike, and while the trail is blazed in a haphazard way, it was easy to follow and never far from the road. Part of this short loop trail was flooded on […]
Generally a trip outside helps me improve my state of mind. Yesterday, that did not happen. Please forgive me as I go way off-topic today. What I saw is sickening and try as I might, I can’t forget how it made me feel. If you are offended by profanity, just skip this entry because I’m […]

There are 132 steps on a beautiful boardwalk leading down the side of this sinkhole, and landings where you can enjoy the […]

The weather has really been doing a number on outdoor adventures this year. In February, a long-planned adventure had to be called off due to heat, in March it was so cold tender plants had to be protected, and an April panhandle trip saw weather much cooler than we like and much rainier than we […]
