There still seems to be plenty of rain, and likely flooding, and the temperatures are rising. I'm sure I'll continue to hike locally.
This year was a little disappointing as far as mileage goes. I only hiked 187 Florida Trail miles. I still have approximately 198 miles left to the southern terminus and then I can go to the northern terminus and work my way home about 300 miles. The hard part now is the packing and driving. Most trips are now 3-4 days to minimize the number of times I have to make the drive. The northern terminus is only about 3 hours away by car so those miles can be done as day trips, although an overnight trip is not out of the question.
The highlights this year include meeting a bear in the Ocala National Forest and almost tripping over a large alligator in the Bull Creek WMA.
