Backpacking the Florida Trial
 

:waving all, Back from a weekend backpacking the Florida Trail. My hiking buddy his son and I hiked to the 7 mile camp on the Florida Trail north from Oasis Ranger Station. Only one disappointing moment was when we passed a area where I have seen and photographed a Harrisella that was now burned to a crisp:( The truly sad part is the fires were intensional by the division of Forestry:((. We didn't come across anything unusual to post but here is what we did see.
