On Saturday we drove up to White Springs to attend the Florida Trail Hiking Festival. The traffic on I-75 was insane so we got off the interstate and went up 441 for a bit, stopping in Micanopy for a quick lunch. We saw a dude riding an ox, followed by an Australian Shepard, followed by a big white goose. They were riding right through town. Awesome!
OK, back to the Festival. Having never attended this event, I expected there to be more going on. The Florida Trail Association folks are a great bunch, but Florida hiking needs a real shot in the arm. Maybe my understanding of the event is all wrong. Perhaps it’s just an event directed more towards existing Florida Trail members and more of a get-together than anything else…
Oh yes, we locked our keys in our vehicle too. We walked up to the ranger station at the front entrance and used their phone to call a locksmith. After a 30 minute wait, the fella was there and in less than a minute our doors were unlocked! 60 bucks well spent. If you are ever in the White Springs/Live Oak area and pull a stunt like this, give Wayne at A-1 Lock a call.

It snowed this morning! Snow, sleet - whatever. We don’t get much of either, so anything that collects and is icy white gets called snow. We’ve had a week or so of really strange weather! Video taken in Inverness, Florida with a Canon Powershot SD780 IS.
Mullet, manatees, Crevalle Jack - you can see so much aquatic life at the Fish Bowl. There’s both freshwater and saltwater fish here!
Just a little video of a rainy day at the Iron Bridge area in the Withlacoochee State Forest. I just sat there (rain jacket on, of course) and watched it rain for about an hour. Good stuff.
Check out these cats riding in the Vortex area of Santos on the Cross Florida Greenway. Me? I stuck with the Puppy Trail, thank you very much.
I got a chance to go up to the top of Bok Tower! Now, not every Tom, Dick, and Harry gets to go up there, you have to be somebody to gain access to this incredible structure. That said, I’m not too sure how I got in…

So I was stingy and never shared this video here with you, my loyal fans. It’s been sitting on my YouTube channel, but for some reason I didn’t post it here. Sorry, homeboys and homegirls, hopefully you will be nice and give me a pass this time, it won’t happen again.
We all know and faithfully [...]
