Decided to finish off hiking the Florida Trail from Shanghai-La to the Ross Prairie. It was buggy, hot and spidery. Even took a tumble after getting a face full of spider. However, the hike was beautiful! Since it is the month of May the trails are growing in with long weeds, grass and brush. Browsed long nylon hiking pants are recommended as my legs got eaten by bugs. Also some entertaining spider webs along the way. Trial is lightly traveled.
