[ft-l] Notice to Hikers

The first mile of the trail in Jonathan Dickinson SP is closed to the
public until further notice.  They are planning a control burn of the sand
pine community within the next month.  This area hasn't burned in about 40
years, so it's important that this be done, as a wild fire would cause
serious damage.  Unfortunately, this means no shade for many years to come
in a rugged area of white sugar sand and rolling dunes.  But the wild
flowers with be spectacular!  

Check with the park rangers prior to hiking.  You can call then at (561)
546-2771
