After checking out many small parks around the Baldwin area, I finally hit the jackpot. Blue Jacket Park was nothing short of incredible to explore. When I first arrived at Blue Jacket Park, I worried that a thunderstorm would force me to leave early. But as you can see by the sky in the above images, that fear blew over
I found another part of Baldwin Park that was apparently off limits to the public. However, Corrine Commons is wide open and the only sign stating this fact was right in the center. It seemed pretty inviting for private property. Corrine Commons is what you would expect from Baldwin Park. Wide open spaces. Shaded areas to relax outside compliment said
Don’t let the blurry image fool you, Parkland Quadrangle Park was a beautiful place. However, I realized immediately that this was a private place and took only a couple pictures before leaving. Like I said above, the few pictures I managed to take at Parkland Quadrangle Park showcased something remarkable. Sadly, the middle area had the best to showcase and
Despite my promises to check out all of Baldwin Park first, I had a chance to go elsewhere for a day. Continuing my other project in Titusville, Florida I went to Gemini Park. Returning to Titusville, I once again confronted the Indian River and its terrible smell. Gemini Park is right near the water’s edge making it impossible to avoid
I started checking out the many areas of Baldwin Park starting with Union Park. Even the small parks here are pretty nice.

Cady Way Trail Part 2 takes off right where I stopped in my last post. The path weaves around Baldwin Park and the surrounding areas. Let’s see what I discovered. Cady Way Trail Part 2 starts in an unnamed park on the outskirts of Baldwin Park. I was hardly the only one to make use of this part of the
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
While in Illinois, I wanted to visit one last place before I returned to Orlando. The Des Plaines River Trail has a special place in my upbringing. What I Found: Sadly, thanks to regional flooding in Illinois, this was all I could get photo wise. This is truly a shame. The Des Plaines River Trail trail is a truly beautiful
Warren Township Center was a place I went to frequently when I was young. My high school was right next door. My middle school was across the street. Both buildings are still there by the way. For obvious nostalgia, I could not pass up the chance to see this place under the Pokemon Go lens. Warren Township Center is a
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
