Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail

Today was all about color. The trees on the trail seemed to be at their peak of fall turning, and though it started out fairly cool, the four of us enjoyed peeling off the layers as it warmed up very nicely. A great blue heron winked as we crossed the first bridge and three armadillos greeted us on our return. Sandra, Gary, Deanne and I held a peaceful pace for the 31 miles. Photos are posted in the gallery. We're talking up the idea of driving to the West Orange Trail next weekend.

Trail Condition: As always, fairly good repair, no trash or debris, facilities functional, scenery was positively exceptional.
