The trail we picked up here apparently is part of the Coast To Coast Trail System, as well as the Heart Of Florida Trail System.

Our maps call this the Spring to Spring Trail, and this picture doesn't do justice to how pretty this section of the trail was.

We made sure to not stop and put our feet down when passing by these high power lines. We made that mistake one time years ago, and we still vividly remember the uncomfortable charge we felt.

After a nice bike ride we walked around historic downtown Sanford, which was all lit up for the holidays.

Eric had a taste for German potato salad, and there was a German restaurant (Hollerbach's) in the town that came highly recommended, so we had dinner there. Eric was able to satisfy his craving, and Cara got potato pancakes, which she also loves.
