Francis Carter Preserve

3.84 miles   ★★★★ decided to rewalk this for a couple of reasons. first, to look for my friend’s cellphone that she lost when we were out wednesday, and second, because i just like it. it got very hot (high 80’s) while i was out, and i had to douse my head with water. otherwise […]

3.9 miles  ★★★★ beautiful day for a usual suspects hike… temps were reasonable and humidity was low. and the francis carter is such a pretty place. i, however, managed to trip on a root and go ass over teakettle, but then everyone was able to show off their first aid kits and practice their mad […]

Duval Trail

2.2 miles  ★★★½ a “usual suspects” hike. i have to give this one a sweat-index of 100… it was awfully hot and humid. but i had an easier time on the hills this time than last time, so that’s a plus. also, it was almost too hot to take pictures, so i only got 2. […]
