If you take a walk on the Florida Trail/Greenways lately you will notice 3 improved campsites with picnic tables and benches, plus two additional benches along the trail… Thanks go to troop 112 from Ocala for doing all the work. I’m sure we will use their benches for a rest when we hike. The two new benches along the trail are located just west of the land bridge and by the first dig coming from Ross Prairie also going west.
