Withlacoochee Croom Tract
This is such a great place to do these kinds of walks. All of the Withlacoochee areas have ways that they can be hacked up in order to make these kinds of trips. This time Koda and I went with Tampa Adventure Group. Dave had everything planned out. When it came time to find our camp site a few runners told us that the low site was underwater so we headed up to the dry site where we have slept before. We went back down to the river around 5ish and filtered some water. The river was crazy high. A good 10 feet higher then it was last summer. The trees had water marks on them telling us that at some point in the near past we would have been neck deep where we were standing.
The one thing I love the most about this area is that it is constantly changing. Sand flats on minute, pine scrub and oak hammocks the next.
The weather was great for this trip although rain was threatening. We hoofed it back to the cars and were on our way prior to getting wet!
