Nice! Are you biking. hiking, or driving there?
We'd like to hit ONF and do some hiking & camping before heading out west in April.
getting droped off, the rest will be on foot. I think ONF might be on my schedule for my next local trip... this summer i want to either do a section of the AT or head out west... who knows.
You removed my link from your blog-roll, how am I supposed to act?
;-)
Myakka is great, too bad they don't allow dogs! Saw the biggest wild boar out there once on a solo hike, sucker wouldn't budge...
