Timberrr and I will be heading to Alexander Springs to ring in the New Year again this year. Anyone wanting to ring in the New Year in quiet reflection with good friends and good food is welcome to join us.

I'm in Florida right now but Florida is an awful big state to try and find Alexander springs when it's not even on the map some guidance may help

[lilricky]

Googled it for ya!

[Gumbo]

Sorry Bob Mac, I'm still getting used to the new naming conventions here. Alexander Springs is near the southern border of Ocala National Forest.

My husband and I often camp there with friends who do not like to primitive camp. What we like about the place it that the campsites offer a bit of seclusion and they don't have hook-ups for RVs, so the place never feels like a parking lot.

There are some some short hiking trails within the area and a trailhead nearby. The Florida Trail is only .5 miles away.

I'm already there. I'm at a campground called big bass lake. Its on rt 42 .
leaving here tomorrow. Headed to the west side of the state. Will be over that way for a few days. Perhaps I'll venture back this way.

Bob Mac,

Look for a PM with my contact info should you end up passing back through. Are you soloing it or with family/friends?

[richtorfla]

Are you all paddling?

[Gumbo]

Not planning on it, but anything is possible! Especially if someone else wanted to get a paddle in.

[highlife]

Aw man, i'd love to but i'm not home right now (orlando), i'm up north for the Holidays.

Y'all have fun!

This sounds wonderful, Gumbo, but I have way too many "projects" to complete before the Florida Hang.
