My mother was visiting from out of town, so I decided to take her to Bill Keller Park and show her how I create the posts for this Travel Blog. Bill Keller Park was built for a clear purpose. And I have visited other parks made to serve that same use. Its a baseball park of course. While I have
At the hottest part of one of the hottest days of the year in Florida, I visited Mariner’s Cove Park. Good thing there was plenty of shade. At the front of Mariner’s Cove Park sits a couple greenspaces and spots with shade. A good thing too cause as you can see in the above images it was scorching hot out.
For my next adventure, I visited Green Springs Park. The green color comes from the sulfur in the water. A smell that I am all too familiar with. Green Springs Park is a little smaller than nearby Gemini Springs, but in this case, that wasn’t a problem at all. In fact, I prefer this park to the other one for
For my next adventure, I visited Thornby Park. Located just off the Spring to Spring Trail, there was a lot to see here. Thorny Park is split into a couple different sections. Before I explored the trail that looped around the back side, I checked out the parking lot and playground at the entrance. When I first arrived there was
I checked out Spring to Spring Trail 3 and traveled much farther than intended. I got my miles in for sure this time. Before I went too far down Spring to Spring Trail 3, I pass Mile Marker 24.5. Remember that this trail is going backwards mile wise because I started at the wrong end. But as you will see
Before I went back to the trail, I explored nearby Debary Memorial Park. It has a different feel than the nearby Gemini Springs. But that is hardly a bad thing. Debary Memorial Park is a space dedicated to Veterans. I assume mostly the Air Force, but I don’t want to be wrong on that and make a false claim. Unlike
I finally made it to Gemini Springs Park. There was a lot to see and do here and so made sure to get up early to make it before the sun was too intense. Gemini Springs has a lot going on around the springs themselves. Even the entryway is pleasing to the eye. I started my journey by the entrance
As promised I continued my adventure down Spring to Spring Trail 2. I started near a trailhead just to the west of my last stopping point. Before I could get back to where I was before, I hiked down a trailhead that took me through some quiet as I walked back to Spring to Spring Trail 2. Well not completely
After exploring some parks I finally continued my adventure onto Spring to Spring Trail. Continuing where Cross Seminole Trail left off, I was excited for all sorts of new discoveries. Starting right where Cross Seminole Trail ended, right at the county line with Volusia County I found that the Spring to Spring Trail actually started here instead of across the
I continued a much earlier journey and visited Lake Monroe Park. It was my first adventure in Volusia County. Lake Monroe Park has a few features I have not seen at many other parks. This might be a design in places in Volusia County though. Future blog posts will answer that riddle. The most prominent thing that stood out to
