Tony and I walked on the trail from the start to Fountain at Lakewood in search of the unidentified wildlife in the pond around 8:30 AM this morning. We didn't see anything but birds and 6 other humans. Tony took some pictures.

I received an e-mail back from Sue at the Expressway Authority asking me to give her specific location of the litter in the ponds and the grounds along the Trail. Sue said that they have been making an effort in the last 2 weeks to get the trail cleaned up. It is good thing they didn't have their Earth Day Celebration on the trail, it would have been embarrassing. Since Tony and I won't be walking tomorrow, I have asked Gary, Bob and Deborah to take notes and take pictures of the litter, so I can send her the information she requested and we can get the trail cleaned up. While we were walking this morning there was a aluminum can and cigarette box right on ground right by the trail. If this doesn't work we may have to have a Brandon Parkway Trail Clean-up Day.

We will not be walking with the group tomorrow. We are going to EPCOT to the Flower and Garden show and staying over Disney tomorrow night. We will see you all on Saturday.
