I derived this past weekend. I went to Lettuce Lake Park on Saturday: http://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/Facilities.aspx?page=detail&RID=437. I went with three others and while we had a time to meet, we had no plan, no path, and no agenda. The set-up of the park itself offered several pathways and welcomed getting lost and/or retracing your steps (without fully realizing that you were doing that). The two-hour-long walk brought many surprises, but here were the best unexpected moments for me.
#1: A playground! We weren't sure what each of the devices was meant for -- for instance, what is the purpose of a bench with a metal handlebar on the top? Push-ups? Tricep dips? Balancing? Or, why would you have three logs of different heights all in a row?
#2: A family of turtles! They were so cute and it almost looks like they ordered themselves in order of largest to smallest.
#3: An alligator! Two of us had never seen an alligator before and we were beyond thrilled. Our friends who were more familiar with such reptiles mentioned that this one was a particularly good sighting because he was a) awake and b) bigger than most. So, yay!
#4: Don't molest the wildlife. Just look at the sign and question why it was necessary to create it in the first place.

Are you in NC? You should get tasking with Teucer and Ka-PLOW!
