I went to a new spot near my house. Coastline Park to be exact, while taking a drive around Sanford, Florida. Let’s see what I found. Before I talk about Coastline Park, I want to talk about something else nearby that creates an odd sound contrast. Across the way from the park sits Pebble Junction. I’m not quite sure what
Beck Ranch Park Recreation Field is the first of two parts of a larger park. Let’s take a look at what I found there. Before I reached Beck Ranch Park Recreation Field, I took a walk through a green parking lot that had a lot more space than this park probably needs. Then again, there are signs that this whole
I decided to check out Fort Mellon Park before returning to the trail. Hurricane Ian and Nicole kept me away from a park in my backyard for far too long. I set out to change that. Fort Mellon Park is split into a few sections. The first was hit the hardest by the hurricanes. I probably shouldn’t have even set
I started a new trail, SR 415 Trail to be specific. This is a new adventure, though it starts in the middle of a prior one. The SR 415 Trail follows nearby State Road 415. This may be an amazing observation but I won’t dwell on it for long. This road is known as Lake Mary Blvd further south. Around
After several circumstances that prevented me from going on this adventure, it was finally time to hike the Coast to Coast Trail finale. Beyond Mile Marker 12: I may have gone a little overboard with pictures for Coast to Coast Trail Finale. I have not been on a proper adventure in over two months due to two hurricanes and Nanowrimo.
I was in downtown Sanford and decided to walk around a bit. Since I have not gone on adventures in a bit because of Hurricane Ian, I decided to show some of the devastation. In downtown Sanford there are little corners like the one in the pictures above that are designed to sit and relax to take a break after
I got a chance to return to the trail and explore Des Plaines River Trail 2. And my brother came with me on this adventure. After crossing Illinois 173, I continued my adventure down Des Plaines River Trail 2. I could hardly contain my excitement. After all, I didn’t think I would get a chance to go to this section
Right next to where the Des Plaines River Trail starts is Van Patten Woods. I had no intention of skipping such a scenic park. Van Patten Woods is a large forest preserve that marks the first major area that the Des Plaines River Trail goes through as it works its way south. The park has several more trails and that
I have wanted to explore Des Plaines River Trail since I was young. Like pre teen young. After years of putting it off, I finally started that journey. While I walked part of the trail in the past, I’m starting with Des Plaines River Trail 1 for this post. I started this adventure in earnest down Des Plaines River Trail
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
