First things first - it’s getting hot outside. You see, most sane people stay off the trail during the summer months here in Florida, but I brave the heat and humidity for you, my loyal readers.
I headed out to nearby the Chinsegut WEA Nature Center Tract for a little hike and run session after work. Never been out to Chinsegut, you say? It’s situated near Brooksville on Highway 41, right off of the road. I used to work at Chinsegut Hill when I was in high school as a research apprentice. One of the most beautiful sunsets can be seen up there, so after your hike stick around and watch the sun go down.
Let’s talk about the trail itself. The main loop is 1.8 miles, but first there is a lead-in trail from the trailhead that’s about .75 of a mile. It looks like some hack and slash action is taking place here. Take a look in the gallery, you’ll see I mean. The trail is situated around May’s Prairie, a haven to all sorts of wildlife. There’s a wildlife viewing blind to get you closer to the action.
The main trail isn’t like a singletrack path like the FT, basically it’s a road looping through the woods. There are some singletrack side trails that will give you that FT feeling however.
Like I said in the beginning, it’s really hot already. Make sure are well hydrated and bring along some water. There weren’t any ’skeeters here, and that’s definitely a good thing.
Check out some pictures in the gallery here.

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 [...]
