Florida Trail conference 07

Umatilla, Florida. It always make me think of a single armadillo, for some reason.


It's the site of the Florida Trail annual conference. It was fairly routine. The keynote speaker was Mike, who is out hiking the FL Trail and reporting on it for the Tampa Tribune. I must admit, I didn't think he speach was that good, but even is writing style is not particularly my taste either.

Marti came down from Blountstown for the weekend, which gave me someone to hang out with, as the gang all had other plans this weekend and decided not to come. Ian arrived very late, because he had entries in the photo competition. We both took a prize. (photo on left)

The only other notable things of the weekend were me forgetting my sleeping bag. That's a major dumb thing to do for an experienced backpacker. I managed to borrow one fortunately, because it was a very cold and windy night.
