I've edited the sign-up sheet, all you have to do is fill out the info on you and your guests. After you do that the statistics should update after you enter data, please do not change the formulas....

Plenty of space around the pond. The parking should be fine as long as everyone at the short and Pat's island park well. I would plan a secondary spot in case the one you are planning is full when...

Getting closer, I'm ready for some time in the woods and some evenings in the hammock. Can't wait to see everyone this year, looks like a great turnout too. Weather looks like some evening showers...

Pats Island trail head is right off of a dirt road as is the short trail, as always there is
a chance for something to happen to vehicles. Juniper does offer secured parking but you pay a hefty fee...

Mahaney, the season is just kicking off so there will be more group hangs in the future, just watch the trip planning forums. This is an annual hang but I know we will talk about the coming year and...

Oldest is 13, been on many trips with me before. Youngest is 9, almost 10.

I'll be at hidden pond short with my 2 son's early Friday. Snowman you are welcome to join up with us, but it will be slower than I normally hike as I'll have to walk slow with them. If I had to...

I'll be plus 2 now, getting close and I'm ready for a break in the woods. I've been planning what gear and meals today. Always fun hanging out with "strangers" in the woods, I look forward to seeing...

I should be good to go on this, been waiting for this to post! I put in the request for my part time job and all should be good. I see cooloz has me down already. Can't wait to get back into woods,...

I have a lot going on the week before but I may be able to make it down for an overnight. I'll follow this thread and let everyone know soon if I can make it out.

It was a good hike, my one big bit of advice is on the Hopkins Prarie section to make sure you take lots of water. I had 3 liters and needed more by the time I hit the 88 store. Next time I would...

I enjoyed meeting you and your family as well, I hope I didn't wake you guys on the way out. Come to the hangs at hidden Pond and I'll likely be there.

Yep, I had one sub 20 mile day. I wish I would have done another though, which would have actually been in Salt Springs. Are you still planning on doing that trip in May?

I finished up early, I passed Salt Springs Wednesday morning. I saw the forecast too but I think I would have had just some strong rain.

Looks like I'll be headed down about 2ish. Somewhere around 3:30 arrival. I may get a day pass at Clearwater lake rec area for the rest of the day and then stealth a little down the FT for the night,...

Life Scout is trying to make it down for Sunday evening too. I'll definitely be there sometime Sunday. I'll post when I head out, it's about an hour and a half for me to get there.

I will, so anyone that ventures soon after me will know what to expect.

If you are, let me know and I'll be on the lookout for you.

Not at all, Clearwater lake rec area. S>N hike.

Alright, an update. Looks like I'm going to be dropped off Sunday evening, 3/20, that way I can get up and get going first thing Monday. If anyone else wants to join I don't mind hanging around a bit...

Lifescout, that is my plan so far. If you work it out let me know what day and I'll be on the lookout for you. Bringing the scouts? I'm trying to get my oldest to go, but he is saying no right now.

Who needs a job? I know what you mean, hard for me to get out during the school year. Which is why I'm shooting for spring break.

Hey all, I'm planning a trip to hike the Ocala National Forest on the Florida Trail from March 21-25. I have most details worked out but still unsure if I'm going North to South or South to North....

That hat is more than likely cooloz91's. He dropped it on the short trail, thought it was strapped around his neck. I'll let him know, he could tell you all about it.

Awesome time this weekend and finally able to put faces to names here on the forum. I hope to make more trips this coming year.

If you do, I will be arriving around the same time.

Show me as plus 2 now. Had a friend confirm today he would be coming with me.

I have verizon and I have good coverage out there. I don't recall the signal strength but I still had 4g.

Sounds good Ashhang, I try and make it to hidden pond every month or so. I enjoy it there and I don't know of many hikes closer to home. Have fun at the 450th celebration, it's going to be nice.

Ashhang, I was going to try and go this weekend too but my wife mentioned she had plans for me already. Some arts and crafts thing I need to help her with. I look forward to your trail report.

I agree with Floridahanger and olddog. I always let my kids carry some of their gear; hammock and tarp, sleep system, clothes and a cook kit. I usually carry the rest which is mainly the...

I plan on being there Friday afternoon or early evening but, depending on who else comes with me I may end up coming Saturday morning. Probably coming in from Pats Island this time. I will be staying...

I should able to make this one, just need to confirm with the family.

I suggest checking out simplylightdesigns.com I have ordered from there several times and have been impressed with the prices, quality, speed of delivery and communication with the owner. I like the...

I may try and make this, late notice but I was planning on going to Hidden Pond with my oldest. I'll check with him in the morning and see if he is up for it. I'll post again in the morning and let...
