New Venue...Mills Creek via Florida Trail

***Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate...Keep In Mind That We Are In The Rainy Season And The Trails May Be Wet/Muddy!!!

I'm always on the hunt for new venues and Theo recommended this 5.6-mile out-and-back trail near Oviedo, Florida...Generally considered an easy and well marked and travels through a dense forest which provides a lot of shade on the route...During certain parts of the year, mainly in the summer, the trail can be overgrown...

The trailhead is at the intersection of 2200 Panorama Drive and Lake Mills. There will be a small fenced parking lot that can be easy to miss sometimes...

I recommend comfortable walking/hiking shoes, Deep Woods bug spray, sunscreen, fluids for hydration, snacks/food, an umbrella/hat, and your spirit of adventure and fellowship, but we do live by the creed "Hike Your Way"...Be ready to get fresh air, exercise, engage in diverse conversations, and make some new Connections!!

If you need to cancel, please change your RSVP from "YES" to "NO". We realize things can change and it's not a big deal if you change your RSVP to avoid the "No-Show"...Thank you...JAP3
