welcome everyone Adam the whoo here to a
0:04
very warm and sunny day in st. cloud
0:08
Florida the site of today's adventure
0:13
and all the time that I lived here when
0:16
I was younger and now as I've grown
0:18
older and come back to revisit this
0:23
community I have never been inside the
0:26
lake Runnymede Conservation Area that is
0:31
gonna change as of right now the gate is
0:35
open I'm gonna head in there I'm
0:38
inviting you to join me shall you if
0:42
you're looking for coordinates it's
0:43
located right off of Rummel Road and
0:47
shouldn't be a problem with finding
0:49
shade there is a heck of a lot of
0:53
foliage and trees ours are as follows
0:59
well know it's a little vague sunrise to
1:02
sunset so no specific hours free
1:05
admission and this property was
1:07
purchased through Osceola counties
1:10
environmental lands conservation program
1:12
and as you can see I'm not the only one
1:15
with the same idea
1:16
there are a few vehicles in the parking
1:18
lot the property is pretty expansive
1:21
those should should keep my distance
1:23
from from others oh yeah a general
1:27
overview a bird's eye perspective from
1:29
this map you can see how the whole area
1:32
is just wedged in there around homes and
1:36
residential sections got the sounds and
1:42
full effect
1:52
you hear insects birds way off in the
1:52
distance either a leaf blower or someone
1:56
mowing their yard it's very faint you
2:00
have to have a keen ear did I hear it
2:03
I'm already feeling a little bit of
2:07
disappointment that I never ventured
2:10
back here before these trees are
2:15
incredible these things would certainly
2:21
be a good place to sit for a spell do a
2:26
little thinking and just enjoy the
2:30
ambiance
2:41
it's like something out of a movie
2:41
sometimes life will throw you a
2:43
curveball with current events things
2:46
that are taking place across the world
2:49
and here in this country it just makes
2:52
you step back a little bit and and enjoy
2:56
things that you had forgotten about it's
3:02
funny how that works it has always been
3:05
either a curse or a blessing that I
3:08
cannot sit still for more than a few
3:10
minutes I'm always thinking of something
3:12
to do or out doing it when I'm not
3:14
sleeping researching traveling the
3:19
wheels are always turning so I am not
3:23
complaining one bit about this semi
3:28
forced more mellow type of episodes that
3:31
I have done in the last couple days and
3:34
will continue to do
3:35
it's a nice change of pace and truth be
3:45
told I've always basically been a keep
3:49
to myself kind of guy half the time I
3:52
enjoy hanging out with friends
3:55
acquaintances and other times I just
4:00
like being alone that's the way my gears
4:06
work I made no sense have these
4:16
designated markers for where the hiking
4:20
path is
4:29
this has been uprooted trees falling
4:29
over
5:05
and while these are living objects they
5:05
almost look as if they're characters of
5:07
some sort like this one leaning over the
5:09
pathway just to say hi you're just kind
5:12
of looming with its arms stretched out
5:15
speaking of arms this one appears to
5:20
have some sleeves see the short sleeves
5:25
there and then the arms protruding out
5:30
or maybe even you could see it as tusks
5:34
you know I the moss dangling down there
5:46
that Moss is everywhere covering pretty
5:51
much everything the ground the twigs the
5:55
bushes it's very prevalent
6:03
I like it though it's a cool little vibe
6:09
through here see if they're just
6:14
dangling in the breeze wow that's a
6:17
major uprooting
7:16
I'd say a good percentage of the passer
7:16
buying commuters don't even realize his
7:19
beauty is back in here it's kind of
7:25
hidden as I continue walking the terrain
7:29
changes just a bit from regular dirt and
7:33
leaves covering the pathway to almost
7:38
like a beach like sand substance
8:16
you had one of these in your yard you
8:16
could set up a pretty pretty sweet tree
8:21
house or a fort up in there sturdy
8:27
branches okay
8:29
maybe not as sturdy as I had assumed see
8:39
how its come apart from the trunk that
8:46
piece if they were pushed back in would
8:48
fit like a puzzle right into there
9:10
a little now with some thorns other
9:10
obstacles on the way doesn't lead to
9:16
anything just says just a ditch going
9:22
back this direction and back to this
9:25
section just a few feet away such an odd
9:29
difference
9:38
so close that's so different some
9:38
edgings in the sand there's a face on
9:42
the left and a car or other sort of
9:48
vehicle with someone on board and a
9:54
house and a tree on the top left benches
9:57
around the fire pit display the
10:00
appropriate direction as far as north
10:03
south east and west for example South
10:10
would be straight ahead that way as
10:14
depicted and designated by that s a
10:21
couple options for having a picnic this
10:25
table exposed to the elements or this
10:29
one that has an overhang Bilt's above it
10:33
but they're both pretty much in the
10:35
shade these trees do a good job of
10:38
concealing both of them now there's a
10:41
lot going on with these two the branches
10:45
are just all over the place I'm just
10:48
waiting for a for a snake to rear its
10:51
head and it startled me Hey there
10:54
probably are some there might be
10:55
something yeah
10:57
could be something out here yeah thanks
11:03
I see two lizards there well
11:14
they're gone up up there they are you
11:14
scurry and fast
11:46
look closely look very closely not
11:46
moving
12:12
that bird is making some awful racket
12:12
over there talking up a storm
12:27
must be flying off because the sound is
12:27
shifting relooking at the map this line
12:31
here at the bottom is designated the
12:33
lake trail and it's a little confusing
12:37
because the lake is really unvisible and
12:40
a lot of portion as you can see there's
12:42
a little bit of a waterway here but the
12:45
trail and I walked over there there was
12:47
really nothing but brush you could see
12:51
so I couldn't really see the like too
12:55
well users of these conservation lands
12:58
take it upon themselves the inherent
13:01
risks and using the undeveloped natural
13:03
properties and the resulting and
13:06
proximate events and conditions arising
13:09
from these these wild and scenic
13:12
properties there's a few more rules
13:18
additional info I hear an owl oh I did
13:28
that's gone okay I heard you
13:46
awesome in close proximity to where I
13:46
just was probably about a mile or so
13:48
away is East Lake Toho
13:51
short for topical eige and I have never
13:55
and all my ears seen the water not in
14:01
this spot it starts way back there which
14:07
is unusual to say the least I have never
14:12
seen it not up to the shoreline over
14:15
there that is incredible
14:19
usually this is all overrun with the
14:22
lake itself some objects here that are
14:25
usually concealed by the water that
14:27
aren't
14:58
that's gonna do it for today if you're
