Pretty... I'm just north of you. I think these trails are so boring. I'm used to hiking to waterfalls in the mountains.... It's hard to motivate when there's no waterfall prize for me. I'm trying to get into it though. :)

Good luck getting into it. These trails have their own beauty and you never really know what you’re going to see. Plus just being in nature is worth it by itself. Thanks for the comment!

I'm very glad the bull left you alone. Earlier this year I had a bull charge at me, as i was at the Marshall Hampton Reserve, Panther point Trail, i put my hands up and yelled and at the last minute before almost soiling myself the bull curved away from me.Think God. I especially like watching your green swamp Florida trail hikes and camping because I am closer to that area. I only have two campsites i haven't been to yet. Mott Hammock (east).And High Bluff Creek campsite (west). Ive seen most of your videos if not all, I like your description of your videos very informational for viewers like i. Iwish I could get out more but with my illness i don't like risking it alone if I'm not feeling my best. I ❤ my Homestate Trail - FNST. ( P.S. ) Maybe one day we will cross paths on what we love to do. God Bless You On Your Journey's Into Florida's Wilderness on the FT Walker Outdoors.

I’m 20 minutes from the green swamp so I consider it my home turf. I go out there when I need to just get away and get some exercise. High bluff is an awesome spot to camp.
