Best Florida Springs | RV Camping at Wekiwa Springs State Park
Get ready to camp with us at Wekiwa Springs State Park just north of Orlando, FL. We camped in our Grand Design RV for two weeks so we could spend time with friends and family. Since we're originally from Orlando, we took this time to run some errands and get some overdue appointments and tasks taken care of that can be challenging to do on the road as full time RVers. We still found time to enjoy the beautiful Wekiwa Spring, a natural Florida spring. It's one of the best springs in Florida and is such a fun place to explore. Later, we go kayaking to Wekiva Island a super fun place to play games, enjoy natural Florida, drink some beer, and have a great time!

Downtown New Port Richey (Haunted History) S02E07 - Outdoors in the Sunshine State
Quick tour of the Downtown area of New Port Richey with a twist of its haunted history that might amaze you.
By 1914 the area around Orange Lake was being called new Port Richey and the older part of Port Richey was called old Port Richey. In 1915 a separate post office was established for the residents of the southern part of Port Richey. The post office was named New Port Richey, and the name became official. The first postmaster was Gerben DeVries. The growth of the city came about after George Sims purchased the Port Richey Land Company. He built a home in New Port Richey in 1916.
The first Chasco Fiesta was held in 1922 to raise money for the local library. The event was revived in 1947 and has been held annually since then. It includes a large street parade and a boat parade on successive Saturdays.
In 1924 New Port Richey was incorporated. The first mayor was Dr. Elroy M. Avery, an educator, historian, and prolific author who came to New Port Richey from Cleveland after he retired in 1919.
The first act of the city council was to accept Enchantment Park as a gift from George Sims. The park was renamed Sims Park. The main attractions of the city were the park, the Pithlachascotee River, and Orange Lake.
In the mid-1920s the city hoped to become a winter home for Hollywood stars. In fact, Thomas Meighan, a leading actor in silent movies, built a large home on the river in 1928 and spent the winters there. He hoped to make movies in New Port Richey. Gene Sarazen, one of the top golfers in the 1920s, also built a home in New Port Richey. He invented the modern sand wedge in a garage in New Port Richey. Other Hollywood figures such as Ed Wynn visited New Port Richey. Songwriter Irving Berlin and bandleader Paul Whiteman made down payments on property, but did not build homes. In 1926, a new theater named for Thomas Meighan opened, and in 1927, the Hacienda Hotel, a 55-room Spanish-style luxury hotel, was completed. Moon Lake Gardens and Dude Ranch, which featured a private game preserve of 7,000 acres, opened in the 1930s.
The end of the 1920s Florida land boom ended the aspirations of New Port Richey to become a haven for Hollywood celebrities, and the Great Depression had a devastating effect on the town.
Beginning in the late 1960s, western Pasco County began a decades-long period of rapid population growth, although the population of New Port Richey has not increased much because of the small area which makes up the city. Most of the population of western Pasco County is in unincorporated areas. Pasco-Hernando State College began offering classes in New Port Richey in 1972, and completed construction of a campus in 1976. Gulf View Square shopping mall opened in 1980. In 1995, New Port Richey became sister cities with Cavalaire-sur-Mer on the French Riviera. Cavalaire Square in downtown was named in honor of that relationship. In 2004 President George W. Bush, campaigning for re-election, spoke to supporters in Sims Park.
Florida also contains Walt Disney World, Busch Gardens, Sea World, Adventure Island, Universal Studios, Legoland and Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. Rumor has it that Six Flags might be coming soon.

Watch How Long It Takes For A Thief To Snatch A Locked Bicycle
Bike thieves are a big problem across the United States. We tested how long it would take for a thief to snatch a pricey bike. We loaned a $2,500 Trek mountain bike and security expert Jason Cecchettini planted hidden GPS and radio tracking device. We locked the bike to a signpost and soon enough, a man used a wire cutter to break the lock and take off with the bike. A wild chase ensued through the streets of North Hollywood. Using the tracking devices, we followed the thief and confronted him.
