Itinerary description

Today we made our third attempt at hiking out to Culpepper Shelter. Our first attempt was back in June but we didn’t quite make it because it was getting to be too late in the summer day and it was getting too hot to go on. Our second attempt was in November and we almost made it, but the St. Johns River flood plain was, well, flooded. Today’s hike was about 10.4 miles round trip and, more importantly, we finally made it! Temperatures were in the low 70’s and the rain has been light lately so it was a dry trip the whole way around. This is probably the last cool weekend we’ll see until fall or winter, so it was a perfect day for a hike.
