The Florida Trail stretches the length and breadth of the Sunshine
State, from Gulf Islands National Seashore in the panhandle to Big
Cypress National Preserve less than an hour from suburban Miami. In
2006, veteran hiker and outdoorsman Johnny Molloy hiked the length
of the trail in one three-month stretch. This engaging story of his
journey, the first narrative account of a Florida Trail thru-hike,
is peppered with outrageous and charming characters. Molloy's
peanut butter thermometer and his "Five Foot Radius Theory of
Camping" for tired hikers will make experienced backpackers smile
knowingly. Novice hikers will find his insider tips priceless.
Beginning at the southern end of the trail, less than an hour from
suburban Miami, he was challenged by some of the roughest terrain
he would face before making his way around Lake Okeechobee, the
second largest freshwater lake in the continental United States.
Traveling north and west traversing sand pine scrub forests, he
made his way up the Suwannee River, around the Big Bend into the
cathedral of palms in St. Marks Refuge, through the Apalachicola
National Forest, and along white sand beaches to the Alabama state
line. Many may never hike the entire course of the Florida Trail,
but its convenient trailheads make it easily accessible to any
resident or tourist. So, start the adventure; plan your own short
hike, thru-hike, or simply join Molloy without leaving the comfort
of your armchair. ""
