I returned to adventuring down Coast to Coast Trail 7. The end of the trail is nearby. But I didn’t reach it in this post. Mile Marker 10: Leaving the swamps far behind, or really just a couple miles to my right, I took Coast to Coast Trail 7 towards the town of Mims. The area around the trail is
I decided to explore more of Sanford for my next adventure. That adventure took me to Lake Carola. Lake Carola is a quiet little spot nestled between the much livelier downtown Sanford and the also more lively Fort Mellon Park. Guess what park I’m going to check out next time I visit this part of Sanford? Anyway lets talk about
It was time to leave the swamps behind with Coast to Coast Trail 6. I’m so close to the ocean I can almost smell it. Mile Marker 6 Coast to Coast Trail 6 took me beyond the swamps. I am relieved to not have to talk about them anymore. Was running out of metaphors and description synonyms. The biggest indicator
Rather than return to the trail, I went to Sanford Veteran’s Memorial Park. I made sure to respect the space and what it stands for. Sanford Veteran’s Memorial Park is a tiny corner of the downtown Sanford Riverwalk that is meant to be a spot for peace and reflection. I did not wish to disturb anyone else who chose to
Back on the trail, I explored Coast to Coast Trail 5. This is the first section completely in Brevard County. It was my birthday when I visited Coast to Coast Trail 5. This is the farthest spot yet from where I live. I woke up extra early despite my birthday to make sure I beat the sun. You might notice
I woke up and decided to walk the rest of the trail right outside my home. Let’s see what I found on Sanford Riverwalk East. Sanford Riverwalk East starts right where I left off when I was here before. Unlike my last adventure I came here in the morning, armed with a hat, covered in bug spray, and protected by
I went back to the trail and explore Coast to Coast Trail 4. On this adventure I finally hit mile marker 0. I started my adventure down Coast to Coast Trail 4 in those same Florida swamps that those of you reading my last several posts have grown so accustomed to by now. The biggest change this time around was
I returned to Coast to Coast Trail 3 and continued my adventure ever closer towards the ocean and whatever was at Mile Marker 0. My adventure down Coast to Coast Trail 3 started at the small road where my prior journey had stopped. If that bear was still nearby, I heard nothing about it. Instead, I came armed with sun
I continued my adventure towards the ocean on Coast to Coast Trail 2. This time I went deep into the swamps. The sun had just started rising and fog covered the land as I started my adventure down Coast to Coast Trail 2. The walls of trees were no more. Instead, it was barriers filled with swamp that kept me
I returned to the trail cutting through Volusia County only to discover that it changed names again. This time to Florida Coast to Coast Trail. Mile Marker 12 was right near my starting spot. But for the sake of consistency, I’ll still break up this section of Florida Coast to Coast Trail like the others. The sun looks bright in
