What we’re about
This group is about connecting with other people while enjoying the little pleasures in life such as walks in nature, lunches, movies, museums, day trips, etc. I welcome event suggestions and will accommodate as much as my schedule allows. Now let's have some fun.

Cedar Key Scrub State Reserve
Cedar Key Scrub State Reserve, Fl 24, Cedar Key, FL, USLet’s try a hike in Cedar Key Scrub State Reserve. Bear with me because I have not been to this park before. It looks like it could be rugged and sandy – so wear closed toe shoes/boots. We will walk the eastern trail which is about 4 miles. I believe the western part is still closed from the hurricane damage. I have attached a trail map (eastern is the right side trail).
Bring bug spray, sunscreen and water.
Meetup mapping is totally messed up.
We will meet at the main trailhead located on State Road 24.

Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park
Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park, 5815 Battlefield Trail Road, Olustee, FL, USShane suggested that we visit some historical sites in honor of the U.S. 250th anniversary. We will start with a walk in Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park taking the interpretive trail. There is a reenactment of the battle the following weekend (Feb 13th-15th) but I prefer to go when it is quiet and not crowded. If this sounds good to you, meet me at the parking lot at 9:30. We can walk the mile-long interpretive trail and also walk the Nice Wander Trail and a section of the Florida Trail that traverses the park to make it around 4 miles total. There is no charge for the day I am scheduling this walk but if you do go for the reenactment the next weekend, it is $12 per person.

Afterwards we will go to Shirley's Restaurant for some lunch.8 attendees
