| Commented on: Florida's Major Trails |
|
| I liked this article and was excited to find out that there was long hikes in florida. Not as close to me as would have liked but close enough. Who am I kidding if I took a hike close to where I live (naples/everglades region)I would get eaten alive by bugs. Having said that I was confused about the first part...it says in the part I pasted below nearly "30 years ago" and then it says "in year 1966" which is 41 years prior to 2007.
Nearly 30 years ago, Miami resident Jim Kern returned from a trip on the Appalachian Trail and wondered why the Sunshine State didn't have its own long-distance hiking trail.
Kern and some friends subsequently formed the Florida Trail Association and then set out to hike from Big Cypress National Preserve to Highland Hammock State Park. In 1966, volunteers from the new organization painted the first blaze on a tree at Clearwater Lake in Ocala National Forest
