Florida Trail Backpacking Trip

This weekend Chris and I did the Florida Trail from Oasis Visitor Center in Big Cypress to the ALligator Alley visitor/reststop on I-75. It's ~ 28-30 miles and we intended to do it in four days, returning today, however we got out there and found out there was no water! We found one otter hole but the muddy water ended up clogging our filter and we didn't bring a spare, so we pushed it and did it in three days instead. Our breakdown was about 9.5 Friday, ~13.5 on Saturday and yesterday we got up early and did the 5.5 to the car. Anyway, I wanted to share the photos: here. It's a great hike and we enjoyed it a lot. An extra day would have been great so we could have explored. We hardly saw any animals, just hawks, swallowtail kite, a snake. No deer, panthers, bear, racoons....nada. Guess they are somewhere else where the water is.
