Trail Walkers

So Caleb and I have involved ourselves in a pretty neat program put out by the Florida State Forestry Service. The Trail Walker program is designed to get folks out and hiking in the state forests of Florida. If you hike a certain amount of trails within a certain amount of State Forest parks, they send you a patch. Its kind of like working towards a badge in scouts. Though our experience with Boy Scouts has been lacking, this was a challenge that we are able to take full control of. This program has gotten us out and hiking at least 5 times a year for the past couple of years as we work towards obtaining our patches. It has taken us into some beautiful scenery and given us a chance to try out new equipment in a quest to lighten our packs and become avid hikers and backpackers... I'll try to post more stories as time goes by of our trips but this post will be about several trips we've taken over the last few years. Just a few photos to share for now.
