2023. Weekend 2, hike 2. Completed a 3 miles nature trail at Alderman Ford Preserve in Plant City. The trail is a mix of paved trail and boardwalk and follows parts of the Alafia River.
This morning’s temperatures were a brisk 55 degrees when we started our route. Sleeves were a must for the trek.
Among the trees were several birds including doves, cardinals and woodpeckers. Today, the woodpeckers were numerous, flying between the palms and oaks.
We spotted a sole gator lazily floating down the river’s current. He was the highlight of the walk. We watched as he drifted under one of the boardwalk bridges.
