I'm a freelance writer and videographer, and spend most of my days exploring Florida's natural wonders from a kayak, a bike or rambling down a hiking trail. A Florida native living in Citrus County, you'll often find me watching the boats go by on the Homosassa River. I'm always sharing stories, photos and videos, so follow along and together we'll discover Florida's natural treasures.

Hike the Holly Hammock Trail at Ross Prairie State Forest
January 11, 2010
A couple of weeks ago, I took a short holiday hike on the Holly Hammock Trail in the Ross Prairie State Forest. Let me tell you, this is a great cold weather hike! The trail weaves through one of the largest concentrations of American holly that I've ever seen. I know the holidays are over -- but next year, take a holly-day (slightly cheesy pun, but I'm keeping it) hike in the Ross Prairie State Forest. The trailhead can be found along SR 200 in Marion County on the Cross Florida Greenway.
Of course, you know I have video -- take a virtual hike, but make sure to visit in person some time!
