November 25th, 2006 – Hike!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.25, 2006, under Florida Outdoors!
Sandra, her father, myself and Sandra’s niece who’s birthday is today all went hiking. We started at Johnson Pond Trail, near Dunnellon, and hiked 1.7 miles. 
Two sketches from that is below.
 
We then went on to Goethe State Park to the Big Cypress Trail to see the 105 foot tall and 109 foot diameter cypress tree. One of the largest in Florida. I sketched what I could of it and that’s to the upper right. Below is a photo of me trying to take in a small part of this magnificent tree.

Rob, I didn’t know you were sketching when you hiked with Sandy. I really like the sketches, particularly the palmetto above.

That was a fun day! Maybe we can do it again next year! Maybe then we can go to the Ocala Natinal Forest. (Notice I said maybe?)
