Mini-Stop Spencer Smith Park
Spencer Smith Park is conveniently located right off the highway. It is a beautiful spot to see the lake, walk along the shore, and experience many events here. The Burlington Waterfront Sculpture Trail is one of those events, and it is in its second season…
Phil Alvirez – The Legacy Exhibit
The one thing about travelling is the experience. It is all about the memories, the places, the new discoveries, learning and, well, the experience. If you look at my Featured Map, I have taken my wife to many places and have enjoyed the experiences that…

Devil’s Punchbowl Conservation Area
