Since I was visiting family up in Illinois, I took the opportunity to visit Wadsworth Prairie Nature Preserve. This is the next part of the Des Plaines River Trail. Mile Marker 4 The Wadsworth Prairie Nature Preserve is only safely viewable while hiking the Des Plaines River Trail. No need to have separate posts though so even though I titled
I explored more of the Central Regional Rail Trail. I’m drawing close to the north end of the trail. Exciting stuff. The last several 8 mile hikes didn’t scare me away from coming back to Central Regional Rail Trail. And while the trail continued its way through Florida’s swamp, there was plenty else to see that wasn’t the norm. The
Deciding I would go on another 8 mile walk, I returned to Central Rail Trail and traveled northwards and even deeper into Florida’s swamps. The first place I visited on this section of the Central Regional Rail Trail took my past Interstate 95. Its a major road that follows the Atlantic Ocean Coast for the few people reading this that
Though I put it off for a long time, I returned to continue my hike down E Central Regional Rail Trail 4. It split off from the coast to coast trail. I’m following it north. I noticed right away that there were no mile markers on this trail. The ones I had seen on earlier sections of E Central Rail
I returned to explore SR 415 Trail 2 after going on a couple side quests elsewhere. Let’s look at what I saw.

Pictures of the other side of the trail were skipped because that area was filled with cars that I didn’t want to
As promised I checked out the Goldsboro Trail. It travels through one of the most historic parts of Sanford Florida. The first part of Goldsboro Trail took me past Coastline Park. I covered that spot in the post right before this one so I won’t elaborate on what I saw there. Instead, I took pictures of the angles that might
I started a new trail, SR 415 Trail to be specific. This is a new adventure, though it starts in the middle of a prior one. The SR 415 Trail follows nearby State Road 415. This may be an amazing observation but I won’t dwell on it for long. This road is known as Lake Mary Blvd further south. Around
After several circumstances that prevented me from going on this adventure, it was finally time to hike the Coast to Coast Trail finale. Beyond Mile Marker 12: I may have gone a little overboard with pictures for Coast to Coast Trail Finale. I have not been on a proper adventure in over two months due to two hurricanes and Nanowrimo.
I got a chance to return to the trail and explore Des Plaines River Trail 2. And my brother came with me on this adventure. After crossing Illinois 173, I continued my adventure down Des Plaines River Trail 2. I could hardly contain my excitement. After all, I didn’t think I would get a chance to go to this section
I have wanted to explore Des Plaines River Trail since I was young. Like pre teen young. After years of putting it off, I finally started that journey. While I walked part of the trail in the past, I’m starting with Des Plaines River Trail 1 for this post. I started this adventure in earnest down Des Plaines River Trail
