Friday (14 Feb) - Visiting a Fen
Feb. 20th, 2014 05:38 pmAfter spending the morning at one of the parks, I dropped my friend K off at our hotel room so she could take a nap before her work shift (she's in Orlando right now working for Disney in their student program) then headed out to find a Geocache. I'd done a bit of research and had found what looked to be a promising Travel Bug Hotel at a nearby Regional Park to drop all the trackables I'd brought with me (it may not have been such a good idea, since a few days later the cache was reported missing :-( ). After stopping by that one, I checked out the rest of the park on my GPS and discovered there were at least three other caches... and decided to take advantage of the trail/boardwalk system to get some real walking in, away from the pressing crowds of the Disney parks. I was rather delighted to discover that the park didn't just have a forest, but was in fact a swamp!
I snapped this shot from one of the boardwalks. No mosquitoes while I was there, thankfully, but I gathered from reading previous logs on the caches I found that the area, unsurprisingly, often has enough that you could get eaten alive!
