The CREW Marsh trails are composed of four ecosystems: pine flatwoods, marsh, pop ash slough, and hammock. Each of these ecosystems have different soils and vegetation. The first trail that I took was the Pine Flatwood trail. I found that the ground was flat and sandy, and there were little to no puddles or mud on the ground. As the name of the trail suggested, the majority of the trees in this ecosystem were tall pines, though I did see some palm trees. There was a lot of open air, and…

The brisk trek through rough wilderness had taken its toll on the portly fog of a man. Now wheezing, he bowed low to prop up his arching frame on a knee high boulder on the side of the path. He watched with passive intrigue as giant sweat droplets fell to earth. Each one making a crater in the previously undisturbed soil carpeting the seldom used trail leading up to the Burbank overlook.

As I quickly scrambled over the massive boulders, halfway to the summit, like a big horn sheep running up a rocky mountainside, I wondered if I would be physically and emotionally capable of making it to the top. During the summer of 2013 I was faced with a huge obstacle that will forever impact my life. Being diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (P.O.T.S) was not my cup of tea. That year was very traumatic. I remember lying in my bed every day for months and months. My cold…

When I come into school in morning my friends more than often greet me by asking "How were the woods?". Maybe on occasion people get this greeting, but I think I found this to be a from a unique quirk I have. The outdoors has become the place of my pastimes, the place I think, and a place I frequent. I could be backpacking, Nordic skiing, trail running, spending a night, or just a short hike, but I do this activities almost everyday, just as part of my routine. I get drawn to the outdoors…
