  • I'm at the northwestern end of Florida and needed to go to a state park to pick up a pass. From what I read online if you have been honorably discharged from the military and have any disability at all you're eligible for a free lifetime pass for Florida State Parks! If that's true it's a great deal that all veterans should look into.
    After that I wanted to explore the area and get on what I thought was the Florida Trail.

    I've been a subscriber of your channel since your PCT hike. Anyway, I live in central Florida and have a PCT permit for March21. If your in the area I can recommend adventures (snorkeling, biking, etc) and have gear you are welcome to borrow (like a mtn bike, snorkel gear, inflatable kayak etc). Or maybe I can buy you a coffee.

    Hey Jay,
    We used to go to Sanibel Island, several places to put in at the state park there on the island. Manatees there.

    There's free camping in Florida Water Management Districts. You have to reserve a spot though. National Forests allow free dispersed camping.

    If you’re still in the area, BearLake is a nice 4 mile hike, or 6 if you take the bike trail. . Also, just south if Crestview you can get in the Florida Trail very easily. It is right in Hwy 85. Ft Pickens is a great area to explore too.

    Florida Trail can often be wet or flooded in spots.

    I was going to mention the manatee. Crystal River is only place in N America its legal to swim with, and pet, manatee. Park at Crystal River Kayak Company, and its a 10 minute kayak trip to the manatee. I've taken my sons there so often they now whine about swimming with manatee. Enjoy the sea cows. I know you won't complain about it.

      I've been there! It's pretty awesome. There weren't a lot of manatee when I went, but we saw a few. Then went for a swim at Three Sisters and had a water snake on some sort come straight at me! 😳 My Aunt lives not far from there, I was down for a visit from Toronto.

    You should go tag Britton Hill. It's the highest point in Florida and just north of where you are. Just another item to check off your bucket list.

    Not much for the trails on Florida but I will be watching to see... I don't think you brought a folding bike but you can walk some of the East Coast Greenway in Florida on the East Coast. It goes from Maine (border of Canada) to Key West. Anyway, maybe you can hike (walk) a few miles of it.

    Hey Jay ….so you and my other favorite hiking vlogger are in Florida this winter. Kelly hays hikes. It would be cool if you could do a fireside chat together. She hiked Florida trail last year, you both did the AT. And many others. You could exchange ideas and advice
