FLORIDA 2015 – Oscar Scherer State Park

Musical Jam Session - Oscar Scherer State Park

This week found Wayne and me at Oscar Scherer State Park in Osprey, FL where we have visited many times before.  It is a favorite due to the many activities the park schedules.  Also they have free Wi-Fi and laundry facilities which are a treat.

Our visit found us riding on the nicely paved Legacy Bike Trail from Osprey down to Venice and back, a round trip of about 7 miles.  I like trails that provide a destination that might have ice cream involved.  Temperatures in southern Florida have been much higher than normal for this time of year.  We’ve had high 80’s for the last week and are expecting the same for next week.  This feels like July or August in Kentucky.  Weather is just weird no matter where you are this winter.

Legacy Bike Trail

The next stop takes us NORTH about 90 miles to Hillsborough River State Park where they also have good biking.  We are definitely headed toward home for the first time.  See you up the road . . . . . .
