With Tropical Storm Fay hanging around the Florida peninsula all week (and as my good friend eArThworm pointed out, “thru-raining” the Florida Trail), chances are most all but the highest elevation (Lake Wales Ridge, Citrus, uplands of Ocala National Forest, uplands of Eglin) hiking trails are underwater somewhere along their length. Keep posted on park closures on the Florida State Parks website. At last count, 28 parks are officially closed. No telling what the overall flood damages will be. I live in a relatively high elevation spot for Central Florida, in a scrub habitat (Florida’s desert), and there are puddles all over the neighborhood. Be careful out there!
