Hello!

A river seems a magic thing. A magic, moving, living part of the very earth itself.

I have paddled Florida rivers for more than ten years and have paddled over fifty rivers to date. I set a goal way back when to paddle all the Florida rivers, and this blog was my way of tracking my progress. Although paddling all rivers may be impossible, it sure has been fun trying!

After spending a number of years kayaking Florida rivers, I decided to start hiking Florida’s trails. I have found that the more remote the trail, the better I like it. I’ve hiked in many of the Florida State Parks as well as the Ocean to Lake Trail and several of the wildlife management areas.

My love of hiking has taken me to other states and even more trails. More recently, I have begun to section hike the Appalachian Trail and have reached mile marker 160.
