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

1: Jim Kern | Founder of the Florida Trail

You can’t start a Florida Trail podcast without involving the Florida Trail founder, Jim Kern. I was grateful to have Jim agree to come on the podcast as my first guest to talk about founding the Florida Trail and what hiking was like in the state back in the 1960s. We covered other topics such as what he believes it will take to fully protect the Florida Trail as well as other National Scenic Trails that aren’t fully protected—read: that’s all of them other than the Appalachian and Arizona NSTs. Be sure to check out the links to the other organizations Jim has founded and to review some of the videos and YouTube channels in the show notes for more information about Jim and what he’s doing to work to protect the Florida Trail.
