    9 days on the North Carolina Bartram Trail in summer of 2005. It was a solo trip and I saw nary a soul except at Cheoah Bald so there was no one to offend.

    Hey all,

    down here in Florida I often see feral hogs, deer, turkeys, never seen a bear but plenty of scat at times at Ocala National Forest, also just saw a gator on a dry trail yesterday while on a local day hike. It was about 75 yds from water on either side of the trail. I almost never see diamondbacks although I know they are there. Cottonmounths seem less shy and see them much more often.

    I would like to see a black bear while hiking!

    I have hiked the NC Bartram from Wayah Bald to Cheoah Bald in 2005 and I thought the section from Winding Stair Gap to Cheoah Bald was really great with lots of, streams, waterfalls, and cascades along the way. Cheoah Bald provides a superb panoramic view. It was a bit steep though!

    Did you ever get out on the Florida Trail? Here is the link to a good book if you still need it.
