Alexander Springs, Ocala National Forest

We finally arrived in Ocala National Forest to much hype as the best natural area in Florida.  We settled on Alexander Springs for our first two nights. We met a few Florida Trail hikers just doing this section. We did a day hike to Buck’s Lake and enjoyed being on the trail near water.  We found an. abundance of Smilax, so will have some greens with dinner tonight. Alan bought a fruit some time ago and it finally got ripe enough to eat. It’s cslled Mamay and tastes a bit like a papaya. The pit is a wonderful glossy pit.
