Welcome hikers!

I owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to Sandy Friend, Communications Director of the Florida Trail Association & website-guru extraordinaire, for her creation of this blog’s header from my rough ‘drawing-on-a-napkin’ and for hosting this new site. Also a big ‘thank you’ to Mara Factor, hiker extraordinaire and gear guru, for hosting my “Backcountry Bibliography” on her website for quite some time.

Today I have a lot on my plate, putting the final touches on details for my hikes (as an Activity Leader) and for monthly programs (as Program Chair) for our local chapter (Apalachee) of the Florida Trail Association. Our Fall planning meeting is tonight. Tomorrow, I hope to start uploading the Backcountry Bibliography onto this site. There will be a learning curve of course, but I hope it’s a small one. ~~ eArThworm
