I did an out and back from Salt Springs to Hidden Pond last weekend. I have camped, both stealth and regular, at HP CG. It's OK. The hike from SS to HP CG is different. There is about 4 miles of...
The trail is pretty well marked. I have found Guthooks a great tool and would highly recommend it.
I came from the north, Salt Springs, and there were no signs. I did not know about it until someone at HP mentioned it.
I spent last night at HP and had no idea any of this was going on. I hung and did not hear any bear in the site during the night. If there was a bear I'm sure I would have heard the girl scouts...
I received mine two weeks ago. I could not find any reviews so did a Q&A session with Zpacks. Based on that I pulled the trigger. I love the simplicity and it has all the features I was looking...
That's a tough one, but I don't think I would take my dog. 1. She does not have total recall. I've seen bears on every trip in Ocala. I've been charged a few times. That requires either being on...
Let me give you another perspective. I have both Xero and Luna's. I converted when I was having foot problems with standard shoes. I love that I can get them custom fit to my individual feet for...
Try cutting a milk carton or some similar plastic to fit. I've done that in the past with good success.
Thanks for the Suwannee River section idea. That looks interesting minus the snake. I ended up doing the Eglin section which was a great trail. Suwannee River will probably be next.
I've not done St Marks so that is a great option. My son works at Eglin, but I've not hiked the full base yet, so that is another option. Hidden Pond Campsite is great and a wonderful place to meet...
I have a 4 days of vacation to use before March. I'm thinking of doing a northern section of the FT, about 80+ miles.
What sections would you recommend?
I plan on 2018 doing a flip-flop in April so I don't have to deal with the crowds.
Thanks for the input. I rode the East to West event last year and didn't think much when I saw the Foot Traffic Only signs. This year it was very troubling to me. I'll pass in the future and bike...
Are there any sections in ONF that allow mountain bikes? I thought it was foot traffic only. The reason I ask is that I saw a trail bike event this pass weekend that was going across the state and...
