Going Primitive with Primrose
How do you car camp in a Volkswagen camper when you have no power? It takes ingenuity to keep electronics powered and a lantern to keep you up past hiker midnight
Primrose and the Big O Hike
Our first outing with Primrose this fall was a trip to the Big O Hike. It rained, of course, to and from Okeechobee. But we had a splendid road trip in our VW camper.
Kicking off Hiker Season with Primrose
The first of our 2014 explorations with Primrose helps kick off Florida Trail thru hikers season at Oasis Visitor Center
Still Life, with Cows
Completing the entire Florida Trail means miles of pavement pounding. On this lonely dead-end road in Basinger, my companions are cows.
Lake Okeechobee’s High Point
Views from the top: this Florida Trail roadwalk between the two sides of Port Mayaca offers an excellent perspective on the lake.
Walking the Reservation
Hiking the Seminole Reservation between L-3 Canal and the Big Cypress Campground is mostly a roadwalk – more dirt roads than paved – but is quite scenic and interesting.
Wraupup: The Panhandle Trace
Joining the hike's founder on her final hike as leader was our reason to heading to the 2013 Panhandle Trace with Primrose.
Two Sides of the Yellow River
Hiking through the newly opened Yellow River Ravines on the Panhandle Trace Hike explored new ground for us all
Hiking the Hills of Hutton
Hiking the Florida Trail across the Hutton Unit of Blackwater River State Forest means you're in for a hilly walk.
The Harold Store
A hiker stop for resupply and refreshment along the Panhandle Trace, the Harold Store is right along US 90 in the tiny roadside hamlet of Harold. A visit was a must.
