Our practice hike today took us 4 miles along the St.johns river. Terrain was soggy mud, climbing over fallen trees, off the beaten track. Could definitely feel my legs had a good workout. Once again we should of taken had candy to keep moisture in our mouth however, we did drink a lot of water.
Two liitle ones did really well. Parents did not have to carry them much. Earl and I kept the pace fast but we did stop several times to see pigmy rattler snake, armadillos , otter and turkey.
The last three days we have packed in 10miles in boots wearing backpacks.
