Tuesday May 21st 2024

Today’s weather was a clone of Mondays. It was sunny, and breezy. The temperature peaked in the upper eighties held back from even higher temperatures by the nice breeze. There were some very scattered showers in the area, but none fell on my location.

During my internet searching over the last few days, I discovered a community park north of here on Lake Apopkoa that sounded interesting. The pictures seemed very interesting, so I set out to explore the Dr. Bradford Memorial Park on the north side of Winter Garden.

I needed a GPS to find the park. It was in a residential neighborhood with no straight path from the main road to the park. The streets all had a 25mph or slower speed limits with speed bumps and I even saw cops with a radar gun. One last left turn after a dozen rights and lefts brought me to the empty park. There was no one in the parking lot when I arrived. While I was there a few other cars came and went.

The park was a lot smaller than I expected. Basically it is a series of path ways around drainage pools that lead into Lake Apopka. From the pictures on the internet, there are often alligators on the banks of the ponds, but today there were only birds. It was a nice little park, but I doubt that I will return anytime soon. The drive is just to complicated.

On my way back to my RV home I stopped for groceries. Unfortunately for my caloric intake I was hungry when I arrived at Walmart. The bakery goods section near the entrance to the store provided a lot of items to my shopping cart. I now have the onions that they were out of last week. This week there was no gallon jugs of water on the shelves. I currently have two gallon jugs and eight liter bottles of water on hand. I’ll have to get more before the weekend.
