  • John Chestnut Sr. Park of Pinellas County Florida is the perfect place to practice social distancing from humans but not with animals. Encountering deer and alligator is common. Journey with me as we take the best nature hike I’ve ever taken. There are lots of cute critters in this one. Thank you for watching. There is much ahead.

    Thanks for posting. I am always surprised when you our your buddy over at the Tourist trap post something like this from Pinellas as most of us who grew up in places like Temple Terrace always thought that Pinellas was built out back in the '70s and '80s (except for Fort DeSoto and Honeymoon Island) as most instantly think of the sprawl on US 19, the traffic jams on the way to a Rays game, or the traffic on the way to Clearwater Beach but North Pinellas is different. Very beautiful. The boardwalk and the tower remind me of one my favorite spots: Lettuce Lake up on Fletcher Ave to the East of USF on the Hillsborough River. I made it out there yesterday but I heard from a friend that the county is closing all conservation parks after today but the county website said most of the nature preserves in county will stay open though they do not have all the amenites like boardwalks or nature centers.
    Anyhow Jay, again, thank you so much for such a great video. It was almost like being out in the park in person! Vlogs like this help make be bunkered down at home much more tolerable. Thanks again and stay safe!

    • @TampaJay
      @TampaJay  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You’re so welcome buddy. Hillsboro has some beautiful parks I plan on visiting all the Conservation ones just like this.. eventually. :) Thank you so much for watching hope you’re having a great weekend

    This is another beautiful park I had missed when I livedin Tampa although going to state parks in the Tampa was a favorite activity on weekends.

    Very nice park. Lake Tarpon is a pretty large lake. In 1969 my family had a 22 foot Islander and we mostly used it in the gulf (we had it stored in Ozona), but once took it to Lake Tarpon. Thank you for sharing the park, and as always, the real Florida.

    What a beautiful place! Nothing like a nature walk to brighten the day! I can see why you like this park. Fantastic job capturing the feeling of this place. Really gives you an idea of what it’s like to stroll along the boardwalk. Sunsets with Jay was the first video/livestream I watched of yours. Looks like the park has some really magic areas where you can relax and enjoy the scenery. Thanks Jay for exploring this amazing place and sharing it with us. :) Looking forward to your next video!

    • @TampaJay
      @TampaJay  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There’s just no dogs are on the boardwalk I think because it’s fairly new and it’s next to the lake.. but there is actually a dog park inside the park. I failed to mentioned that LOL
