Not much has been happening on my end. The Fish and Wildlife people are short staffed so they haven’t had time to look at the trail. The forestry people sent their biologist out and she did a quick look around and found several tortoise holes. These are probably the same ones I saw while marking the trail. I’m trying to schedule a meeting with her at David’s request. Phase 1 is still in Tallahassee but David has talked to them about it so it’s still on their radar. I keep wanting to get back up there to look for creek crossings but I’ve been trying to do some riding and get caught up on chores. Soon it will be snake season.
The Perdido River trails are moving forward through the meeting process. We were supposed to take a field trip out to look at the parcels but it got canceled due to lack of participants. But Barbara and I volunteered to help out with the lumberjack festival last weekend in Milton. The fellow putting the festival on is the same guy who does the leg work at the Perdido River properties. So Barbara has talked him into giving us a personal tour. Pretty sweet. Tomorrow is the next public meeting for the Perdido River parcels. I put the call out on the PORC message board several weeks ago in hopes of getting at least 10 people to show up. The more, the better for the public meetings. I’ve even offered to buy the first round of beers. We’ll see.
