As always we had a great time at the 32nd Annual Bay area Renaissance Festival  held behind the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) on Fowler Ave in Tampa, Florida.
Upon entering the park, you are immediately captivated by the enchanting mid-evil mock town forcing the mind to forget completely about the outside world. The Town’s [...]]]></description>

Pink Sundew by Riverbanksoutdoorstore
Laura, my out of town guest and partner-in-crime, and I headed to Lake Wales Ridge State Forest to continue on our Trailwalker Journey this past weekend. After missing the Schoolhouse Road street sign twice, we finally honed in on the McClean Cabin Nature Trail. This one mile interpretive loop sits in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The slough is a wildlife haven and certainly worth the trip.
We started off on this 2.6 mile trek and found it well marked but not well maintained. The overgrowth at times can mislead you into thinking there is no trail there at all. Only the metal orange trail marker posted on a tree encourages you to forage ahead. We have come to realize a hiking stick and previous bushwhacking experience is a definite PLUS on this trail! The first two miles leads you into a jungle-like forest of cabbage palms and hardwoods full of a variety of Epiphytes and ferns.

		<description><![CDATA[..Eventually I came upon a small section of Oak Scrub and that was where I saw the Florida Black Bear!  I was awestruck as I watched him for several moments while he gathered food from the Oak Tree in which he was sitting. He spotted me as I was taking his photo. He gingerly climbed down and disappeared into the thicket of Saw Palmetto.  I was elated as I could not help to think “How special of a day to see my first Black Bear on my final hike to earn my Trailwalker badge!”  I pick up my pace as I had a renewed energy from my sighting.
