I found that I had not fully explored the Seminole Wekiva Trail. So I returned to check out the extension and see where it went. Mile Marker 16.5 Back in Seminole County meant less swamp and more Mile Markers as I started my adventure down the Seminole Wekiva Trail Extension. Instead of those endless seas of green, I passed fancy
For my next adventure, I traveled to George W Starke Park. Not far from where I live, its location is a bit secluded. George W Starke Park is located in an isolated corner of Sanford. And so the park is quiet and feels separate from the world. Which works perfectly for it. Minus a train horn in the background, there
After a long break, I decided it was time to explore again. This time I set out for Bookertown Park. This spot had drawn my attention while browsing maps one day and I finally got a chance to check it out. Bookertown Park is located in a secluded neighborhood not far from Interstate 4. US Highway 17-92 isn’t far either.
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
I went back to the Central Regional Rail Trail to explore another large section of the Volusia County Swamps. The first part of this adventure on the Central Regional Rail Trail took me through the northern half of that strange little spot I stopped at last time. On the left, a gun range. On the right, a conservation area. It
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
For my next adventure, I visited Speer Park. Google Maps doesn’t have it marked so after finding it earlier, I had to search for it again. Speer Park is secluded in the middle of a Sanford neighborhood. Like I mentioned above, even Google Maps doesn’t have it marked. But that doesn’t mean there is nothing here. In fact, in this
For my next adventure, I continued exploring all the little parks in Sanford, Florida by visiting James Dunn Park. James Dunn Park is named after the lake that it wraps around. I got some pretty shots of this lake as the sun continued to rise. I am finding that I enjoy waking up early in the morning so that I
For my next adventure, I explored little and secluded Roseland Park in Sanford, Florida. Let’s see what I found. Roseland Park is one of those quiet little corners of the world that I never would have found without a map. Which is a shame, because there is plenty of space for kids to play, adults to sit and reflect on
