You'll remember them because
they will remember you!
This is a great waterfall located a
couple miles from the northern
trailhead.
Joe checks out a limestone shelf for
artifacts. Prehistoric shells and fossils
are abundant along this waterway!
The Econfina has cut its pathway through
mud, clay and limestone to reveal its real
beauty!
Diane really LOVES bridges that are high
and long!  This suspension bridge is 5 miles
from the northern trailhead.  Diane's husband
Hayes, introduced us to this section of the
Florida Scenic Trail. He deserves a big
thank-you from all of us!
Andrea, Marty, Andy, Diane and Hayes
on a down hill!
Econfina gets really small at the
headwater.  Trail runners can get off
the track while hunting for fossils.
