This morning I did an impromptu mountain bike ride east to Palm Avenue via Griffin Road's sidewalk and then west to the Vista View Park area via the Orange Drive bike lane and adjacent horse/cycling trail. Had there not been an entrance fee to the park, I would have done some repeats up and down Mt. Trashmore inside Vista View Park.
I stopped once at a covered rest-stop along the South New River Canal at Orange Drive and Boy Scout Road to snack on cheese crackers and Gatorade. It was rather comical sitting there watching the impatient motorists maneuver through the T-bone intersection.
I noticed a great deal of improvements regarding the roadside shrubbery along Griffin Road when cycling back to Flamingo Road from I-75. They've made the entire area a sub-tropical paradise of sorts compared to what the area used to look like. Kudos to the county/city workers for doing such a fine job.
Another note of interest was all the ground owls spotted when cycling the bike lanes in the middle of Rock Creek. That area evidently is a safe haven for owls and other birds native to this area.
