Continuing through my backlog of explorations, lets take a look at what I found on Cross Seminole Trail 5. I was desperate to find happiness on Christmas Eve, a day that has almost always been terrible for me. I might have overdone it a bit this time. After all, I traveled quite far. Leaving Black Hammock Trailhead behind, Cross Seminole
Don’t let the name fool you. Boston Hill Park is still part of Florida. Notably part of Oveido for that matter. My attention was first drawn to the signs in the parking lot at Boston Hill Park. Apparently, at one point the parking lot had been closed. The orange construction signs are a testament to that. I decided to take
After a long adventure in Baldwin Park, I returned to Cady Way Trail 3. The third part of the path takes me north into Winter Park. The first section of Cady Way Trail 3 took me past Baldwin Park and right past the Winter Pines Golf Club. I am not a golfer and I lack the membership to explore this
I started a much larger project recently. This is Cady Way Trail Part 1. The path goes near so many parks and areas of interest that it will be some time before this exploration idea is complete. Look forward to many varied areas. Let us begin. Cady Way Trail Part 1 begins at a park I checked out in the
Using my time in Illinois wisely, I visited Illinois State Beach Park. I lived near here many years ago, but never got the chance to take a look. I fixed that now and even added a Pokemon Go lens to it. My journey around Illinois State Beach Park started at the hiking trail. Before I arrived, there had been constant
After being stopped by construction, I finally got a chance to explore Lake Adair Park. I was excited by what I found here.

However, this park one an aspect unlike any
Today I set off to see what other parks sat around Lake Ivanhoe. Next up, I discovered Senator Beth Johnson Park. Before I made it into Senator Beth Johnson Park, I walked a small path that lead to it. The view was quite incredible. Lake Ivanhoe is a beautiful area filled with many places that are walk able. Even Interstate
After my not so great adventure last time, I moved on to another nearby complex of parks. I started with Gaston Edwards Park. Let’s see what I discovered. Gaston Edwards Park sits on the east bank of Lake Ivanhoe. Thanks in part to multiple roads and Interstate 4, the lake itself is divided up into sections. And each of these
The last stop on my whirlwind tour of the many parks in one region. However, Lake Lucerne is not quite a park. At least the maps do not label it as one. Nestled between the part of Downtown Orlando where Orange Avenue splits into two one way streets, the skyline is clearly visible. Because of the construction happening on 408
Only a couple of blocks from where I live sits Demetree Park. I have driven past this location many times in the past, but never really had much incentive to take a look. That changed today and I am glad I made this decision. Let’s see what I found in this park situation in the middle of an Orlando neighborhood
