I know you are/were on at-l where I already posted
this, but I just wanted to make sure the news about the new proposed trail being built in the Florida Panahandle got to you so you can post it wherever you think appropriate. Support from hikers in the local area is always a good thing. The US Air Force is proposing to build approximately 50 miles of trail near the northern boundary of the Eglin AFB Reservation from U.S. Highway 331 between Freeport and Defuniak Springs westward to Highway 87, then south to Navarre ending near the junction of Ten Mile Creek with East Bay. The trail is expected to be approximately 18 inches wide with an additional four feet trimmed on the side to allow a hiker to pass. The trail will be hand cleared and footbridges will be constructed for stream crossings and across low lying wetland areas. Seven trailheads will be available for hikers to access and gain information about the trail, and one campsite will be built as part of this action. >>>>>>>>
