APtravelnews-March 3rd,-Bob & Barb “On The Road Again” this time in Port Charlotte, FL.-After settling in at the Sleep-In & Suites Port Charlotte, we headed over to Florida Tracks & Trails. This new big and little kids outdoor, very interactive attraction, sits on a portion of about 1000-acres, of which many of this original cattle ranch has been turned into tracks and trails for all manner of powered, off trail equipment. Have you ever wondered where all those pick-up trucks are going loaded with 4-wheelers and off-road motor cycles, well wonder no more, we found out where. They are heading for Florida Tracks & Trails in Punta Gorda, Florida. Eddie Lopez Chief Public Safety and Security took us around some of the property and it was a lively and active place. Everywhere we went we saw no cell phones being used by teenagers here. The park according to local business owner who grew up working on the previous properties ranch and cattle farm, is all about family values. Parents and children that play together stay together! This project is ongoing and planned is a large RV park, fee fishing ponds, a zip line, a drag strip, (they already have a helicopter pad). Bob & I felt that watching the children swimming in the crystal clear, beautiful lake with a sandy beach that several Caribbean Nations would envy, was very refreshing, being that whole families were involved together on a fine Sunday afternoon.
