This circuit will start in Pensacola, FL early in November and will continue down the Gulf Coast side of Florida. After spending Christmas and New Years Eve near Brandon and Punta Gorda, the circuit will continue around the tip of Florida and up the central area and east coast of Florida. Activities will include hiking, biking, kayaking and of course sightseeing.

The number of participants will need to be limited to approximately 12 due to the size of the locations. A second group can start a week behind if there is enough interest. It will also need a circuit leader.
It is strongly recommended that you have an Elks and Moose membership as some of the lodges require membership to stay there. There are a few places that require reservations and they are noted. They will need to be made as soon as you confirm with the circuit leader availability to join.

Kayaking on the Chain of Lakes and biking on the Teco-Auburndate Trail.
