6.8 miles; Carrabelle, FL This was an awesome hike… for about 1/2 of the total distance. It was on the vast St. Mark’s National Wildlife Refuge, and as I’ve mentioned before, Florida parks and state forests are all criss-crossed with old logging roads.

5 miles; Port St. Joe, FL Today I decided to take a stroll along the beach to the “elbow” of Cape San Blas, then a slightly precarious beach walk through a lot of dead fall, and finish up with a rather boring return along a bike path. But it was right outside my door, so […]
