Awesome hike, Stephen! I will definitely check out Blackwater Creek. You’re one of the very few folks that I know who know about “bull bats”! In my youth, I saw and heard them just about every evening during the summer. Their diving sound is so cool. But I haven’t seen/heard one in many years now. Thanks for your trips and insights!

I’m not too worried about snakes and I just check for ticks often. I also use tick repellent. I love Florida springs too. Thanks for watching

I am moving to zephyrhills in a few weeks from michigan, hope to cross paths one day!

I’m not far from z-hills so there is a good chance our paths could cross. Good luck on your move.

I have done some barefoot hiking in the swamps but the idea that I might come across an alligator snapping turtle changed my mind on it

Yeah I think I’ll be doing most of my hiking with my shoes on. Just figured I’d give it a try. I worried more about getting a splinter or a stick jabbing in my foot.

As an avid barefoot hiker I will assure you being a hippy is not required. You will need to relax and enjoy your surroundings, every hike will be different even if you're on the same trail. Be prepared to be more present, aware and tuned in to nature as everyday stress is left behind like footprints.

I definitely enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

I love to find water features on a Hike. To continue on the hike do you need to cross the creek?
