Papa’s World – hiking with the grand kids – Veeren Memorial Park – S.C.

Cassidy Bode Papa Tammy

We had driven past this park dozens of times as we went to golf and also after we bought our lot!

Always saying – we need to stop and check it out –

might be a good place to bring the grand kids as they all

like to hike and explore!

Papa Cassidy Taylor and Bode

So – we did and then when they came down – we went for a hike –

out through the marsh – into the trees – a sand trail – pathway –

I had a map as it splits off several times!

I guess in the warmer months you will see gators in the marsh!

The little ones are always curious – exploring – seeing and asking questions!

But – they also stay close – ever watchful –

and tend to hang with MorMor!

Sherry – ( MorMor) Swede for Mother’s Mother – loves to lead and show them – explain what everything is!
They also listen to her!

Papa’s World – A new bridge – a new pond and a new path!

There are now three new ponds in Cameron Woods Community and a small pool of water behind our home!

Above is the pond that the pool of water flows into from the wetland!

These ponds are collection ponds for surface water.

This mulch-covered path comes from the cul-de-sac – between the common area and two houses –

To the new ponds and toward the new bridge.

In the middle of the treeline on the far side is our home which you can not see.

This treeline is protected wetlands and is right behind our property-

one of the reasons we chose this is for that barrier.

At the end of that walkway-covered mulch path –

is a new bridge going over a drainage ditch to what I believe to be the largest of all ponds in Cameron Woods.

There is another large pond to the right of the bridge but the walking path does not lead to it – instead, you would have to walk common ground in the rear of a couple lots!

After crossing the bridge you look back at the lots and houses on the cul-de-sac.

This is the last of the building inside of Cameron Woods Community!

This is the view of the large older pond that was here when we had our home built-

I do not know if it was here to begin with or was a catch pond for runoff!

Looking down the water to a corner and the pond goes beyond that –

a nice walk and covered with mulch –

I wish it was gravel like the other pond!

We saw one gator and it left the bank as we walked –

that is a good sign as they are afraid of us as we walk.

We are careful and on the look – out for gators and snakes!

Sherry walks back after we saw the gator and did not finish walking around the pond –

later we came back and walked all the way around –

and saw the gator in the middle of the pond!

Papa’s World – Heritage Reserve with the grand kids – hiking!

Bode – walking into the Heritage Reserve – Cherry Grove – S.C.

The little guy learned that not hiking is in the mountains like he thought!

Crossing streams or climbing rocks – that is all he had ever done on a hike

Showing him nature – the marsh – water – sand – scrub trees –

He learned that there is more to this Earth – hoping to bring him back

in warm weather as we were told you could see “GATORS” then!

Taylor walking the path through the trees!
Taylor Cassidy Tammy Sherry ( MorMor) making their way into the preserve!

They were excited – walking into the trees on the sand path –

looking for birds – snakes – spiders

hearing the sounds and the marsh views!

Taylor and MorMor – she is only 10 years old – already up above her MorMor shoulders who is 5′ 9″!
Bode – exploring and me reading to him what is here!

FAMILY – MORMOR – MEMORIES!

Papa’s World – walking a nature trail with Debby in Winchester Va.

A picture along the trail in a display for a resident hiker of the Appalachian Trail she took beginning to end.

This is all part of the Shenandoah Museum complex in Winchester Va. A hiking trail – through the woods.

Sherry took all these pictures as we walked about three miles!

The pathway is very wide – I would guess eight feet and all made up with crushed limestone! There are benches to sit on the entire walkway – and areas to sit quietly – a really nice walk and easy on the feet!

We have walked this every time we come to visit and now in late spring – the flowers and trees are full!
