My wife (Barbara J. Gill) signed up for a family membership, so I assume I am a member. I am trying to get my profile in the system, but haven’t been successful. How do I do that?
Here is the link to be added to our newsletter. https://floridatrail.us12.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d94e2bfb893d536c0ce84bc23&id=dfaedfb427

Hi there – a question, not a comment. As an FTA member participating in the hikes, are we allowed to bring our leashed dogs? I have a well behaved Lab who might like to come.
Hello, Daniele! I apologize for the delayed response! I thought I had previously responded to your message, but when I came to the admin dashboard today, it doesn’t look like my reply was previously sent! Again, I apologize!
Each volunteer Activity Leader has different guidelines regarding dogs for their hikes. So, the best place to find out if your pupper is allowed is on the event’s page on our Meetup.com site at: https://www.meetup.com/Apalachee-Florida-Trail-Hiking/ .
Hope to see you and your lab on the trail soon!
Depends on the hike and the activity leader. Most allow, but check with the activity leader. You can post in the Meeting Up discussion for that hike to ask.
