What a great idea, a hiking trail at an interstate rest area to give truckers and tourists a chance to stretch their legs. In northern Florida on westbound I-10 just behind the restrooms, the trailhead led us into a thick pine forest at the edge of Osceola National Forest. The final ¼ mile of the 1.5-mile trail was a boardwalk and the scenery changed to towering cypress trees and swampland. Below us in the watery flatwoods swamp we could hear gators splashing, frogs croaking, the constant buzzing of dragonflies and the pecking of woodpeckers.
