Debugged and unpacked. Reviewed video taken the past four days and should have something up tomorrow. Had a decent shot of a male Turkey strutting his stuff the rest will be quick scenery shots with some commentaries from me worked in. You'll have to bear with my editing in commentary as I need the practice and also need to see what works and what doesn't.

Hopkins Prairie Campground
Anyway the campground is nice and has a well. Nothing wrong with a little rust in your water!;)
I did see a lot of Bear scat today and this campground has bear resistant garbage bins. Maybe some visitors tonight!
Ocala National Forest
First night out. Did a little more than fifteen miles with a 45 pound pack. Good thing the forest floor is soft and not rock or my feet would be killing me right now. Otherwise i'm good.
Definitely need to lose some weight out of the pack before the PCT. Think I will pack the tent, air mattress, rain jacket, heavy boots and sleeping bag and send them to the Sierra Nevadas. Only poncho, poncho liner and light shoes to cross desert.

Training Hike
Just finished up a sixteen mile training hike, 40 pound pack. Fairly hot out here despite the overcast and intermittent breeze. Looks like the storm will start in the next hour or two. Will take it easy the next two days then hit the Ocala National Forest. It's gonna be hot but no doubt good conditioning for the desert.

Weather
Looks like we have a bad front coming through for the next few days. I'm gonna wait it out. If there is one thing the Gator doesn't like hiking in it's the rain...and the heat...and the cold. That's right, the Gator is a fair weather hiker! Lol.
Will do a few day hikes weather permitting and head out into the Ocala National Forest Saturday.
