WHAT: Hike the Citrus A Loop, approx. 8 miles, enjoy a mid-hike melon. Optional camping Friday and Saturday nights at Holder Mine Campground with communal dinner, campfire, stargazing, connecting with nature. Comment below or Direct message me on Meetup for camping details if you want to camp with us.

WHEN: Saturday 7:45AM for sign-in and "how ya' doins;" hit the trail at 8:00AM sharp. Remember, early is on time, on time is late, and late is left behind.

WHO: It's still high summer in Florida. Hot, humid and possibly muddy at times. Please carefully assess your fitness for up to 9 miles of hard, hot hiking. Though rescue is feasible, the shame will be long-lasting, lol.

BRING: Hat, sunglasses, bug spray, sunscreen, 2 liters of water, snack, a good attitude, and a desire for moderate suffering. If you want to camp Friday and/or Saturday night, don't forget your tent or car camping rig!
