I didn’t waste any time and went right back to exploring the world. This time I checked out Des Plaines River Trail 5, or the fifth part of my adventure that featured just the trail alone. This segment alongside the last one are among the most nostalgic places in my childhood. I ran cross country down this segment of the
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
While on vacation and away from the Florida humidity for a bit, I took a chance to explore Des Plaines River Trail 4. This segment of the trail took me down memory lane and I asked my dad to come with me. Not only did this section take me towards my old high school, but the path itself was the
Its been some time since I visited Illinois. But here I was which meant it was time to explore Des Plaines River Trail 3. I hiked a good 8 miles for these photos. A year ago I explored up to mile marker 5. I didn’t quite remember how far away from the last park I would be starting. But it
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
Years ago when I hiked the Seminole Wekiva Trail, I noticed that the path continued. But I never looked into where it went. So today I decided to check out the Wekiva Trail which continues into Lake County, Florida and loses the Seminole label. Before I could venture onto the Wekiva Trail, I had one final segment of the old
I explored Spring to Spring Trail North 4 for my next adventure. I started at a bridge crossing railroad tracks, and there was plenty more to be excited about. Spring to Spring Trail North 4 started things off with one of my favorite features on the trail. I’m talking of course about the bridge visible in every one of the
I explored Spring to Spring Trail North 3 for my next adventure. There were some new additions to the landscape, as well as the standard Volusia County Swamps. For the first segment of Spring to Spring Trail North 3 I found the same sort of environment as the last part. This entire section was owned by Duke Energy. And lots
After a bit of a delay, I returned to the trail to explore Spring to Spring Trail North 2. This section had a very different feel from the last part. The first leg of my adventure down Spring to Spring Trail North 2 took me beyond the park where I stopped last time and past several homes. This section of
