August 2019 - that's a wrap!

Image
Wait.....it's the end of August already? Where does time go? And I look like a major slacker since I haven't posted a peep since July! Well, I have been hiking - I just haven't blogged. Perhaps, this weekend, with a major hurricane approaching, I'll get the chance to deep-dive into writing.....want a little taste?  7/20 - Croom, Loop C: 7/27 - Hole In The Fence with Suncoast FTA: 8/3  - Beach hike: 8/10 - Tenoroc, Red Loop: 8/17 - Croom, Loop C & overnight camping: 8/18 - Croom, Loop A (partial: 8/24 - Citrus Cave hike: If those sound a little repetitive that's because they ARE. The trails at Croom and Citrus are almost guaranteed to be dry trails in just about all of central Florida, even during the most rainy season. We take what we can get :)

Saddle Creek Tract @ Tenoroc FMA

Another new-to-me trail event! I would never have expected such fun, elevated trails to be around Lakeland, but that just goes to show you that you have to go out and explore. Because you never know........

Lake Rogers Park

I don't think I would have chosen this park as a solo hiking destination, but why not give something new a try? Especially when I have less than an hour to my destination! Even if the trail around the lake here is only a little over 2 miles long, we enjoyed our little hike just the same (we repeated the loop 3x)  :)

Hole In The Fence (again!)

Whenever I don't feel like driving far and look for a nearby trail I end up here in Thonotosassa, FL. Only a 45 minute drive, it's never a dull hike. The full loop is over 15 miles long; along with several MTB trails you always see something new & interesting.....

My plan? A long beach hike.  The weather decided otherwise and no more than 30 seconds in, the rain came pouring down. To be continued another time.....
