I'm gonna toot my city's own horn and let y'all know that Jacksonville has some of the best and most accessible parks and hiking I've ever come across. You can hike lonely shorelines, hammocks and marshes, open scrub plains, pine stands, and beautiful oak forests. There's a ton of little pocket hikes contained within the Jacksonville metro area, and lots of cool stuff hidden away. For example! Seaton Creek Historic Preserve. I live less then five miles away from it, and I only just started hiking there this year. I never knew it existed. It's a quiet beautiful little hike, and the site of the southernmost battle of the Revolutionary War!  (it was rather a fuckup)   Without leaving the Northside, you can also head east to Pumpkin Hill, Betz-Tiger Point, and Black Hammock Island. Unfortunately, there's a fair bit of swamp and water between them and the real jewel parks of Jacksonville, which are Black Rock and Cypress Graveyard Beaches on Big Talbot, pristine and beautiful with amenities Little Talbot, Fort George, Hugenot where you can drive on the beach, and Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park, which are all separate and beautiful properties, and ALL ON THE SAME ROAD. A1A is a beaut of a drive down here, by the way. All of these parks have fantastic trails. Not to mention some of the best fishing in Florida. pros: Accessibility, beaches, wildlife cons: Not that remote, still might be gored to death by urban feral pigs Suspect Bucket fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Mar 23, 2017 |

Man, I miss the days when we just called moonshine stills what they were, and didn't try to get all fancy and legal about it. Also, meth didn't exist. I gotta wonder, have all the shiners moved on to meth, or is there still a noble outlaw spirit of shine?
