Get off your lazy butt

I've been trying to exercise each day, mostly walking. Besides great weather in the winter, Florida has lots of nice state parks and yesterday, I headed for one of my favorites -- Highlands Hammock. The park has eight trails and I hiked seven of them.

This from the Park's web site sums it up well: "This park is remote and quiet, affording a very relaxing and peaceful wilderness experience."

The flyer they give me said the trails take 30-35 minutes to hike, but I found most of them were more like 15-20. There are lots of old people in Florida, just sayin').

Above: My favorite trail is the Cypress Swamp Trail.
