Episode 003: A Day in Bradwell Bay (11:31)
Walk with me on a squishy, splashy day hike on the Florida Trail through a dense hardwood swamp in the Bradwell Bay Wilderness Area, south of Tallahassee.

This particular hiking experience has special meaning for me, since it launched my outdoor writing career in Florida and my series of Florida hiking books. After writing up the trip report and posting it to an online hiking group I belong to, the AT-L, I was contacted by editor Karen Berger to provide a version for GORP.com. That interaction led to my contract for the 50 Hikes series in Florida, and to articles for Backpacker and Florida Hiker magazines. I wrote this the evening of the hike, sitting in the living room of my friend Linda “Earthworm” Patton’s house (she of BooksforHikers.com fame), and posted it to the group from my laptop. The rest, they say, is history … and I was fortunate to have such a great group and excellent leader for this hike!
