Recently I spent a great afternoon at Sandy bottom park in Newport News.

This is a nice natural park to hike around, trails are fairly flat and f mostly smooth, except for the South side of the Trillium Trail, which has a lot of roots.

For reference the Sandy Bottom Nature Park is located here.

We found this quite by accident today, but as with all our trips we don’t have a hard agenda. The journey and adventure is our goal. I saw a new sign for “Historic Fort Huger” pointing down a road we have traveled before, I don’t recall seeing that before, or we would have checked it out then. We almost always turn when we see a sign that point to anything potentially interesting, and we have been know to turn down side roads for no reason what so ever, and that is where the fun begins…
