After a year away, I returned to MegaCon. It was good to be back. Let’s take a look at what I saw on Day 1. One of my favorite parts of MegaCon are all the cosplays. People pour their heart and souls into these costumes. While I didn’t wear one for day 1, I made sure to take pictures of
I came back to MegaCon 2023 for Day 2. It was way more crowded this time. Which makes sense since it was Friday. I got a lot more cosplay pictures on Day 2 compared to the day before. It helped that I was in costume myself. Father Gascoigne from Bloodborne if you are curious. Naturally my costume got some attention
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
For my next adventure, I went further south into residential Sanford, Florida and found Washington Oaks Park. Washington Oaks Park has a different feel from the last few places I explored in Sanford. Its clear based on location and what one might find here that this green space is meant for those who live nearby. There are several different playgrounds
