We were in Wildwood yesterday and wanted to walk the Hogeye loop trail, so we drove thru DeLuna to get there.

The left turn off 301 to enter DeLuna is a little nasty. We had to wait for the left turn arrow and it was kind of uncomfortable with the cars whizzing by on both sides. US 301 is a very old fashioned road that my family would take driving from Ohio to Florida in the early 1950's.

In DeLuna, I was surprised the speed limit on Marsh Bend Trail was 30 mph. It stayed that way until we got to the 'historic' part of DeLuna, where it changed to 25 mph.

I didn't see the drainage canal that Goldwing pointed out in his video. Like all new areas, it is amazing how fast they can put houses in.

The walk around Hogeye was as beautiful as always. Maybe even nicer because the lakes were filled up. It is good that they have very substantial barricades to keep the golf carts off the walking/biking trail.
