Hello everyone
My partner, Mozzie, and I, Sprite (was Mammoth), have recently returned from five months on the AT and we're now living in Dothan, Alabama. On a jaunt to Panama City, we saw the signs for the Florida Trail along the road. Since we have all of this broken in gear and boxes of hiking food, we're thinking about doing a section of this trail sometime soon... when it cools off a bit.
We are wondering if anyone has information on the Panhandle section, or on the connection to the Blackwoods trails at the western terminus of the FT. We are thinking about a 30-100 mile section, so if you have a favorite panhandle area, please tell us.
Also, we need to know what guidebook is best for this area and if we require maps for this trail. And what permits are required and how to get them.
We've been to the website for the FT Association, but there is a ton of info to sift through and it doesn't say much about the Blackwoods trails, other than that they exist.
We gotta get out in the woods again, and the FT is so close that we can't ignore it any longer. Thanks!
