Walking workshop Ocala National Forest
October 2012 |
|
The plan was to walk the Lake George Trail, but it was flooded out so we walked part of the Florida Scenic Trail
and the Yearling Trail with Johnnie Pohlers (retired U.S. Forest Service and area expert) leading the group.
Highlights of the day were the Florida scrub jays putting on a show and lots of evidence (scat) of Florida black bears.
After tasting the swamp cabbage and winged sumac, we picnicked at Silver Glen springs and watched two banded water
snakes catch and eat minnows in the small spring boils. It was a perfect fall day for a wonderful walk in the woods.
