Neat hike- I wasn't sure if I was headed down the right path at first, but it soon became apparent that I was. Looks like several spots were well used alligator crossings!TNLNSL.

Stopped off for a hunt on our way across the state.

Was a great cache to get daddy as addicted as the rest of us. Amazing what beauty lies in our own backyard.

Met a very nice man at the end of the boardwalk who allowed us to get up close and personal with a red shouldered hawk looking thru his humongus camara lens. He must be a pro and we're sure he is a very nice soul. enjoyed our visit.

Took K9 Hooligan along. Warning! ticks are horrible!

Left: Hooligan-made keychain
Took: White Jeep TB with hello Kitty hitchhiker.

We stopped by today just to drop off several travel bugs we picked up on our trip south plus a geocoin. We left Pontiac GTO, Woodrow Call, and a White Jeep TB plus the 5150's Duncan Clan Personal Geocoin. I took a turtle and left a golf ball too.
