Sure I'll take you on a pine scrub tour but not a day before Dec 1.

Hahaha, yea I'm no Florida hiking expert and really there is all kinds of terrain in Florida but once you start boxing here you will get to see quite a bit of it.

And regarding our (Florida) snakes and gators...You have (Connecticut) snakes and ticks. I'll choose gators over ticks every single time!

Go after some Kirbert boxes, he has some super lovely hikes in the panhandle/north central Florida area.

I've just recently started hiking in the Ocala Nat'l Forest area, not planting too much though due to those much prescribed burns.

Not real familiar with the Kissimmee area for hiking although there are some lovely parks with trails. Nothing like CT but you'll adapt and maybe even appreciate it here too...

In the meantime I am so happy you are moving to Florida!!! Soon as you get unpacked please plan an inside (air conditioned) event, pretty please!!!

I don’t box or hike so much now.
I haven’t had much opportunity.
But I live near Windermere, north of Disney.

Sits N Knits.

Yay, hope to finally meet you when you are settled.

Hiking in Florida is very, very hot in summer. I recommend walking the beaches or along any type of water, where you can get a breeze, then. Or just short walks in the morning or evening. And stay out of dense jungle in summer, too hot and buggy. Bug spray and 50 sunblock, and moisture wicking clothes and a hat is a must. I'm in Palm Harbor and Clearwater area, which is about 2 to 3 hours drive from Orlando, depending entirely on traffic.

In winter, it's a LOT better.
