I've mentioned before my participation in crafting a 27-minute video slated for PBS broadcast to showcase the natural wonders and activities you encounter along the Florida Trail. A bit of an out-take ("DVD extra") about the designation of White Springs as the first Florida Trail Gateway Community was created by our team at Seidler Productions and while I was out of town, posted online. I got a cheerful note from them this morn that it was - within 24 hours - the "Pick of the Day" from YouTube's editors for their Travel section. Pretty darn cool for White Springs AND hiking the Florida Trail! Here's the video short, see for yourself... [1]

And an early heads-up for your calendar ... the 2008 Florida Hiking Festival will be in White Springs, Saturday March 29!
