Day-late - Florida Trail Journal - 2018

Getting ready

Well it looks like everything is a go for a Florida Trail Thru hike this
winter. I should be starting on the 1st of January, give or take a day. I
have all my equipment ready to go and have 3 resupply packages ready to
send.
I've gotten my FT membership, the maps, the app, and the data book. I'm
heading from home in a couple of days going to visit relatives through the
holidays and then will be hitting the trail from where I will be staying in
Venice FL. I don't exactly know how I am getting to the trail just yet -
but will hopefully be able to bum a ride from a friend or relative in the
area. Looking forward to it, although I suspect it will be different from
any of the other long hikes I've done as I have never hiked in FL before.
I am sure there will be some things I will have to learn the hard way. I
suspect the swamp sections will be a challenge too. Anyway I am getting
pretty excited that this is finally going to happen.
