I am very new to hiking and I honestly prefer to hike on a nice boardwalk or a defined walkway. With that said, Cedar Key Scrub was not the ideal setting for an afternoon hike for me. I walked into the scrub and only spent moments there. It looked like an incredible place to explore but I was not equipped to roam around in the scrub without a hiking bag, or enough water to make it a few steps in. I chickened out and I am not upset with my decision. I very well may have saved my life being a stubborn brat.
