For my next adventure, I explored Liberty Park in Lake Mary Florida. While the name of the park makes me cringe a little. You can read my Surviving the Felon Series if you wanna know why that might be. But what I found at the park was a nice corner of quiet with plenty of space for multiple people. Let’s
With perfect weather to motivate me to leave the house, I returned to Lake Mary, Florida to explore the Lake Mary Sports Complex. There was more here than I expected. I came near the Lake Mary Sports Complex when I visited the park next door. And noticed the baseball fields immediately. Last time I chose not to come here because
Out of trail to hike and wanting to check out another area for green spaces, I headed towards Lake Mary, Florida and found a cluster of locations all around each other. Diverse as they were, I decided to explore them one at a time, starting with Trailblazer Park. Trailblazer Park is the young kids section of the complex. Most of
As promised, and with more perfect weather in my favor, I returned to the same trailhead as last time and headed the other direction down Neighborhood Lakes Scenic Trail. The name of the trail helped set the tone of what I would find. Though there was less neighborhood and a lot more scenic. Especially compared to the last trail. Unlike
The Florida summer heat at long last has faded, at least temporarily, and that meant I finally was able to explore Wekiva Trail 2. Like the last section of the trail I explored way back in May, this segment had zero tree cover and would have exposed me completely to the sun. I’m glad I waited till a near perfect
While on vacation and away from the Florida humidity for a bit, I took a chance to explore Des Plaines River Trail 4. This segment of the trail took me down memory lane and I asked my dad to come with me. Not only did this section take me towards my old high school, but the path itself was the
Its been some time since I visited Illinois. But here I was which meant it was time to explore Des Plaines River Trail 3. I hiked a good 8 miles for these photos. A year ago I explored up to mile marker 5. I didn’t quite remember how far away from the last park I would be starting. But it
I returned to the Wekiva Trail to continue my adventure along what was once a simple two lane road through several state parks. The first segment of the Wekiva Trail took me past mile marker 0.5 and beyond. To my north was the Seminole State Forest. There is a lot to see and do in there and I’ll try to
As promised, I explored Wilson’s Landing Park. After hiking the Wekiva Trail, I spotted the entrance to a park I didn’t know existed. Intrigued, I went to visit. The majority of Wilson’s Landing Park is dedicated to open green fields and a boat launch. Given that a part of the Wekiva River flows right alongside the park, its clear what
Years ago when I hiked the Seminole Wekiva Trail, I noticed that the path continued. But I never looked into where it went. So today I decided to check out the Wekiva Trail which continues into Lake County, Florida and loses the Seminole label. Before I could venture onto the Wekiva Trail, I had one final segment of the old
