Notes to Readers:
For those of you who enjoy my photo journal entries, know that although I don’t live in Southern Florida any more, we are still being affected by the continuously wet weather the entire state has endured this past week. Therefore, don’t expect any trail reports from me until the trails dry out somewhat… which will be sometime next week.
Flagler County is all low-lying country. Any depression in the landscape soon fills up with water. Currently, I don’t own a pair of rain boots that would allow me to squish my way even around the neighborhood. The drains and verge are all pools of liquid and the rain is still coming down.
For those of you who live on the East Coast, north of Florida, keep a weather eye open as the storm moves northward. It may or may not affect the NE this coming weekend.
