Most people have celebrations on New Year's Day. Clif and I just tend to be low key. We decided to venture out to Hal Scott Park and Preserve near Wedgefield. Only this time, we took our bikes instead of our hiking sticks. I'm glad we did because the last time we went out there, we hiked around 7 miles and my feet had blisters. This time, we covered 10 miles in 2 hours, and were able to see a lot more. The biggest difference this year is that most of the undergrowth has recovered from the controlled burn they had last year. It was nice to see the green palmettos verses charred remains. We didn't see any wildllife, only evidence of wild boar and a few horseback riders racing along the trails. That looked like fun!
Hiking and biking in Florida doesn't compare to the scenery in the mountains. But it is still nice to get out and enjoy the natural setting. It was a gorgeous day. The high was 76.
We decided to bike to one of the many primitive campgrounds. We decided this would be a nice place to camp with our group of friends. If we bike in the gear, it is only 15 minutes from the parking area.
I tried to bring up the well water, but it didn't work. It must need to be primed. I don't think I'd want to use it anyway. Too much rust.
