March 28-30, 2008 – Florida Hiking Festival!

Sandra and I were at the first annual Florida Hiking Festival. It was Sandra’s concept and her hard work that got the activities together that made up the festival. This event was a transformation of the annual Florida Trail Association annual meeting. This year opened it to all who wanted to do what the organization is suppose to be about: Being active outdoors. It was a tough sell to those who wanted to do the same annual event that they’ve done for decades. But it happened and from the enthusiasm, sounds like they’ll do it next year. The entire event was very successful thanks to Sandra.
Needless to write, she was frightfully busy during the three days. Along with this she even lead one of the major hikes. The festival was in White Springs in North Florida and we stayed in the Adams House, a bed and breakfast. I’ll write more of that in Genuine Florida later.
Above is the leader of the historic hike around White Springs that I attended. To the left is an edge of the Suwannee River. The bottom sketch is part of what’s left of a springs attraction in White Springs. More of all this when I have more time.
