After all the excitement of day 1, I was more than ready for the Miami Safari Zone Day 2. Even though I had explored a fair amount of downtown Miami on the first day there was plenty more to discover on my second adventure. Just like on the day before, I spent some time walking around before the event started.
Miami Safari Zone Day 1 was my first in person Pokémon Go event. And I only had an inkling of what to expect. Not only was I in a city I barely knew, but this was my first time traveling with a group of people I only knew from Pokémon Go. I can get anxiety when on this sort of
I got the chance to attend my first ever Pokemon Go Safari Zone. And to get there, I chose to take the Brightline Train. It was my first time taking it, and I even got to explore a little of the towns along the way from the window. Brightline features comfortable seats, plenty of space, and even fold down tables
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
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
