Jacksonville definitely has one of the largest (perhaps the largest?) overall municipal park systems. The largest “park” I found was called the Loblolly Mitigation Preserve at 4199 acres (so, just off the top 15 I limited it to), which seems to be related to a public-private endeavor that earns “wetlands credits.” But the preserve doesn’t seem to be listed by the city along with its other parks or even “Environmental Parks,” so even if it fell within the top 15 I listed here, I probably wouldn’t have included it.

That’s great, Lou!

I also trail-angeled for someone I counted in this challenge who was doing the Arizona Trail; met up to resupply him a couple hours northeast of Phoenix and bought him a couple good beers (and a bad burger?) at the shitty dive bar in the trail community we met up in. We ended up meeting up again in Seattle a couple years later while we were both in town on a trip.
