About us
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.

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.
Here is a web site to find out more information about the park:

Carson Springs Wildlife Sanctuary
Carson Springs Wildlife Conservation, 8528 E County Rd 225,, Gainesville, FL, USTwice a year Carson Springs Wildlife Sanctuary has an open house. It is a great way to see their animals without paying too much money. The tickets are $15 per person plus a $1 fee for booking on-line. I am not sure if there are limited tickets for that day but it does get crowded. I would suggest ordering soon to be sure they have a ticket for you. You can cancel 24 hours ahead of time if you are worried about the weather.
I have not been there since before the pandemic. Not sure if much has changed but I will suggest that we meet near the small building that they use to sell souvenirs. Check the comments on that day in case I need to change that meeting place.
Here is a link about the open house:
