VIDEO: Jonathan Dickinson State Park

[trigger hurt]

Excellent walkin' music.

I just watched the video on YouTube rather than on my computer, and I noticed that the quality on the video is TERRIBLE compared to how it looks on my computer. Any suggestions? Still trying to work out all the kinks.

To me, thats the way they all look, I've come to accept it. Yours is a very good video. For your first time it looks like you've been doing this for a long time.

Thanks for posting the video. It is well done and really brought back some great memories. I have not been to the state park in several years. (early 80’s when I still had some hair! ) I lived in Stuart for a while and worked in Jupiter so drove by this location many times.

That was a great video. I've never been to Jonathan Dickinson but will have to put it on my list. Looks like some nice solitary backcountry. How long was your hike overall? If I make plans, I'll drop you a line. Were the water pumps working? Keep the videos coming. See you in Ocala.

I was beginning to wonder which shrub you were going to hang from..hahaha..glad ya found a couple decent trees...keep the vids coming...great soundtrack!!!

Glad I helped motivate you to make some pancakes out on the trail. It really is an enjoyable breakfast to eat out in the wilderness. I hope it goes well for you!

I guess I'll just have to deal with the video quality issues for now then. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the feedback.

Good to here from somebody who has been out there before. If you ever decide to come on back down here for a visit and want to get out for a hike, be sure to drop a line first.

There are 2 campsites, one of them is 5-1/2 miles in and the other is 9 miles in. I went to the 5-1/2 mile campsite. It is not a loop, so you hike in and out on the same portion of the trail. The pump was working at the camp I was at. I did not make it to the 9 mile campsite, so I could not tell you if that one was working. Definitely let me know if you plan on heading to Jonathan Dickinson. If I am available, I would certainly like to go hike it with some company. Can't wait to meet you and everybody else who is headed to the Florida Hang. Until then, keep on hangin'.

Well done. The more you go the more you'll know.

Wow! Great job with the video and quite the successful 1st hike, solo at that!
And, you made me hungry just looking at that pancake!
Islander is right: You are in charge of pancakes at the Florida hang!!!
