Check the pic. I guess the AT and FNST are now linked.
The AT is a 2x4 whiteblaze, of course. The Florida National Scenic Trail is a 2x4 orange blaze.
In '04 during the hurricanes, this area burned really bad. So, the Tosohatchee Park employees were told to reblaze the trails. The did the entire park over again -- all in white. DOH!!!! Every single trail throughout the burned areas are white. All of them.
What's ever funnier, is that they missed about 1/4" of em, so you follow a WB, come up to a stretch of orange, find an intersection, and see yellow, orange, and white in every direction. It would have been funnier when I was out there, except the map I had was four years old, completely wrong, and had the wrong mileage legend.
So we compassed along, stopping every so often when we couldn't find a blaze. The FNST is not used nearly as much as the AT, so sometimes there is no discernable trail to follow. It was a bit stressful when your four hours from your car, ??? miles from the campsite ( if it's still there ) in the middle of field with no blazes and no intelligible map.:(
It's funnier now that we're home.
