The Senator, what was an estimated 3,500 year old bald cypress tree, in 2011 was a short detour off the Florida Trail in Big Tree Park. Unfortunately this tree burned down in January of 2012. I feel incredibly lucky to have seen it alive and would never have guessed it would be gone less than a year after we visited it. Lady Liberty, a slightly younger but still quite ancient bald cypress is still viewable at Big Tree Park as you pass by on your hike. . A new episode is out tomorrow! Stay tuned! . #bigtreepark #longwoodfl #exploreflorida #findyourtrail #goatworthy #exploretheoutdoors #podcastsofinstagram #orangeblaze #floridatrail #floridahikingsyndicate #floridaliving #baldcypress #hikersofinstagram #hikeflorida

28d 10h 00m, is the new Florida Trail self-supported speed record. This was way harder than I thought it would be. Although my overall average was 39mpd I realized halfway through I was off pace by a couple days, so the second half of this hike I don't think my milage dipped below 40 more than once and routinely reached 50. Trail conditions were seriously in my favor all the way south, and aside from getting sick 3 days in, I couldn't ask for a different journey. The florida trail was incredible, and I look forward to walking it again. Maybe next time much slower. — I'm tired, my feet are destroyed, and I've now on a different note walked 4,600 miles from Quebec, Canada. Not sure how I'll finish my last 200 towards Key West to complete the Eastern Continental Trail. #floridatrail
