An awesome Thanksgiving in Tampa has been followed up with a rough few days back on trail. We’ve been bombarded by mosquitoes, butchered by briar bushes, have been sleep deprived and sluggish, and it’s been a struggle keeping our feet dry. It’s not all bad though. We’ve stumbled across orange trees, seen several cute Gopher tortoises and neat birds, and the scenery has been stunning! Now it’s time to tackle this 26 mile road walk!

After a night hiking nightmare, we got to witness a lot of wildlife as we exited Seminole National Forest. We heard bears busting through the shrubs, listened to Sandhill cranes, and watched #riverotters munching in a pond It was also #dangernoodle day. We came across a #coralsnake and #pygmyrattlesnake You’ll get bad days on the trail, but they’re only temporary. One last thing, don’t molest alligators, folks. “No” means “no”.

The #ocala section is complete! Now on to tackle central #florida We only got about 380 miles left on the #floridatrail before the road walk to #keywest Getting stoked, y’all! 🤘

This guy! All year we have been unintentionally stalking each other. 😂 We met on the #floridatrail in February, bumped into him later on the Arizona Trail in May, then we were shocked to see him kicked back in a shelter on the Long Trail in September. Although it was brief, he came out to visit us after we finished the Ocala section. It was good to see you dude! Wish we could’ve hung out longer! You rock! 🤘

Everyone has mentioned that #ocalanationalforest is the most #beautiful section of the #floridatrail We’ve only been here a day and I think they might be right! We’ve seen a ton of #wildlife including our first Florida #bear and the #scenery has been on point! #lifesgood

Hike the Florida Trail! Hike the Florida Trail! Hike the Florida Trail! Everyone is scared to hike this incredibly underestimated and beautiful trail, and I absolutely adore it! We’ve hiked all over the place this year, but it’s great to finally finish what we started in February. I’m coming for you #keywest !

Blackwater Section. Done. It’s great to be back to one of the most underrated trails! It’s great to be back on the #floridatrail ! Time to finish what we started earlier this year!

And just like that, we were no longer “yellow blazers”. Thank you everyone who’s helped us out along the way during the #alabamaroadwalk Now on to the #blackwater section of the #floridatrail 🤘🔨👇

Crushed some miles after letting my butchered feet recover in Greenville. On the way we were confronted by many “vicious” pit bulls, traveled into the night only to wind up sleeping in a cemetery, then alongside fields of cotton to get to Andalusia. We should be across the Bama-Florida border in a little over a day! Can’t wait to be back on the #floridatrail 🐊
