Prairie Lakes F-Troop


Spent the last five days on the Florida Trail at Prairie Lakes with the F-Troop crew building a 505 foot boardwalk over a Cypress Swamp that often required hikers to take a high water reroute. Florida is very dry right now but there was still water in this area.

I spent the majority of the week standing in knee deep water with an extension cord over my shoulder and an electric drillin hand. I was very careful to keep the cord strung up in the trees above water level!

After the baordwalk was finished we built a couple of benches for the platform.

Hot, wet, and dirty! Just the way we like F-Troop.
