This hike will be 3 to 4 miles and also to establish a place to put the Sidetrackers Geocache so I'll be picking a spot with gps coordinates so the Park Ranger and Geocache coordinator can approve it. The area we're hiking is a bit of pine trees, sand scrubs and small pockets of hardwood trees with lots of bird life and small critters ,bring good shoes for the parts of the trails that are sandy and not hard packed ,temperatures should be cooler so dress accordingly and bring water. Any questions text me at 904 517 2321 Vic.

Disc Golf on Sunday, November 17 at 4:00 at Ed Austin Park, 11751 McCormick Road. Leagues play in the morning, so we are going in the afternoon to avoid the crowd. If you are a beginner, I have extra discs for you to use.

This was once a golf course and now instead of holes, there are baskets. The rules are simple and you use similar language as in regular golf.

Excited about the paddles! Below is some information.
Sat morning - 2 paddles to decide on.....
Launch at -
Lafayette Blue Springs: 12 mile paddle (about 6 hrs, total longer paddle)
State park so you may need to pay $5 per car for parking
Great run…..First 6 miles has some springs but you will need to look for them - smaller and privately owned.
Then after Hal W Adams bridge (Hwy 51) ramp see below about run…
Hwy 51: 6 Miles (about 4 hours - depends how long you are at each springs)
All springs were on the left side while kayaking
1. Telford Spring - about .25 M from launch
2. Peacock Camp Ground about 2.0 M from Telford- lunch spot and possible hike - up to you
3. Running Springs - 1.5 M from PCG- 2 springs at stop
4. Bathtub Springs - 2 M from Running Spring
5. Convict Springs - .5 M from Bathtub Spring
Boat ramp just a pinch down from convict springs for pullout
Notes: Have an idea of which 1 you want to kayak - I am kayaking Hwy 51 (Start is 10am - all on the water) but if you want a longer paddle, it is easy to plan out. We have multiple kayakers going that may want longer paddles.
Weather: Can’t control but it will be hot!
Hope this gets you excited to paddle!
3pm is Pigeon Races
4:30 is Chicken Poop Bingo
5:30 is Potluck (location is The Pavilion by the pool. A cost is associated to reserve so I am not but it is open for anyone). Has grills, corn hole and horse shoes right there.
