Camping at the Blackwater River State Park Campground
A candid review of the campground at Blackwater River State Park where we spent nearly a week between various sites during the 2013 Panhandle Trace Hike.
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.
Following Juniper Creek
Day 3 of the Panhandle Trace we followed the Juniper Creek Trail away from the wildfires, experiencing beauty and absurdity
In the Land of Tall Pines
Day 2 of the Panhandle Trace we rambled nearly 13 miles along the Wiregrass Trail and Jackson Red Ground Trail.
South to Florida!
Kicking off the 2013 Panhandle Trace Hike at the Alabama border is no small task without help from a lot of friends.
Converging on the Panhandle Trace
Arriving at Blackwater River State Park Easter weekend without a reservation, we find ourselves fortunate to share a space with Tony, who's On A Dam Tour.
Ramble on the new Hinson Trail
The newly opened Hinson Trail, a loop south of Marianna along the Chipola River Greenway, is truly scenic, rugged, unusual, and historic.
Calhoun, Chipola, and the Altha Trail
A quick introduction to the Altha Trail, the first public footpath in rural Calhoun County south of Marianna and north of Blountstown, part of the Florida Trail.
