Let's go....
I planned to start after Christmas, called FTA about post-Irma conditions, was told some areas are a wreck and to call back in a few weeks. I plan to hike it if feasible but not if it is a big mess.
Keep me posted on how that plays out...I may be headed that way myself
Ocala is clear and open now. Took longer than I thought it would.

I just spoke to FTA again and the woman I spoke to previously was much more positive this time, said crews are getting the trail in shape, so I plan to do a thru starting after Christmas. There are some closures in Big Cypress due to high water, but there is a lot of time for that to ease.
I am now on an AT LASH and started getting hopeful about the FT after reading a beautifully photographed book on the FT at Mosey's new hostel in Port Jervis. Mosey, an AT alum, was also planning an FT thru this winter.
All 70+ miles in a 1 Day Fl cold front...that’s hauling arse....

I’ll be heading out early January for an end-to-end hike heading north.

Will Wood (Following Redbeard on YouTube) just posted a hike that he and some others did through the ONF. Trail looked to be in great shape.
I started nobo Jan. 6, now at Billie Swamp Safari, and trail conditions are better than expected. Water in the black lagoon of Big Cypress was only knee deep, not waist deep as I'd been told. Was told I'd need a mosquito headnet but haven't even used bug spray yet. Glad I did not follow advice to go sobo.
