any panhandle hikers?

**johnny quest** · 05-21-2009, 13:22

moving back near pcola and wondered if there were any whiteblazers located in the area.

Not me, but there is great hiking in Eglin AFB. The Florida Trail Association (FTA) has a chapter there. Look 'em up Tom Daniel is a great guy, and a heckuva trail builder. In the past 2 years the FTA completed a new section on the base that I haven't hiked yet.

God made the panhandle for canoeing not hiking. im more looking for other wb'ers in the area. once im settled i want to start eating away at the southern a.t.

I want to do some hiking in Torreya prolly next fall when it gets less buggy. I'm not a panhandler (I thought that this was what this thread was about). I live in G'ville.

I"m in SE alabama....about 6 miles from the FL line. Just got back from Franklin NC....about 6.5 hours from here. Enjoy Pcola........Go Navy....Beat Army....bill

I had to do a double take..I thought the tread said pan-HANDLER hikers.

Would make hiking any trail a different experience...

Thought this thread was about something else. Sorry. While I'm here, does anyone have a dollar they can spare?

Well, I'm in the Panhandle, and I do occasionally hike, but I agree with Johnny; this area is really more for paddling. I head to the mountains to hike.

My wife would love it if I got partners to hike with instead of solo.

sorry, all you bums, for the confusion. i think the term "panhandler" has gone the way of "hobo"...there aint none of them left.

hikes in rain, lets keep in touch. once im settled in i want to make some trips north to section hike and we could share the ride.

Sounds like a plan, if you don't mind out of shape hikers.

My new job is a killer for my former workout routine!

I live in Tallahassee, just got back from a small section of the A.T. Amicolola Falls to Unicoi gap. I go to torreya all the time... really the only place to get some decent rock under your feet. Meet a father-son team out for the night from pensacola while I was up there...

Maybe we can have a FL WB get together at Torreya next winter.

In another year or so you may be seeing plenty.

Sounds like a great idea!

**Hikes in Rain** · 06-10-2009, 05:43

I like it! Let's do.

**wahoo** · 06-10-2009, 10:18

Count me in for Torreya if there's a get together!

**seminoles** · 07-19-2009, 22:21

I am here in Panama City,WB FL meet in Torreya is a great idea. We hike and camp there several times a year. Nice for Fla....

**BumpJumper** · 12-11-2009, 10:19

I love hiking up there. I want to come up that way soon while it is cool. Any takers for a couple of day trips?

**flyingturtle** · 12-11-2009, 10:37

I also live in Panama City...Torreya is where I went to do my shakedown hikes for the A.T.

**toegem** · 12-11-2009, 11:33

I'm in southeast Fl and may want to join in on the Torreya meet.
