How Natural Exposure came to be
An intro to Bijou Basin (the fictional town in Natural Exposure)
Location, location, location!
The fictional town of Bijou Basin is approximately 30 miles west of the Magic Kingdom. The town is surrounded on three sides by a real Nature Preserve. When creating the fictional town, once I decided to have it in Florida to utilize WDW within my stories, I tried to find a place that would be close enough to the parks but yet far enough to be remote. Even now, though it's built up over the years, Lake County is much more open land than populated, like it's surrounding counterparts. The stretch along which Bijou Basin resides still have very few homes (if you look on Google Maps you'll see a few). The little notch in the Green Swamp Wilderness Preserve gave me my perfect locations and left the town with one point in and out of it increasing it's hidden nature.
Would Bijou Basin, as it is with it's bylaws and way it's run, be an actual town? Probably not. It does function more like a Gated Community, so just imagine it that way when you think about it, and don't wonder too much. Let me have my creative licenses!!
I love maps. You'll see many maps, drawings (sorry in advance, I'm NOT an artist), and floorplans in the upcoming Bijou Bugles. Here are your first.
Just over 6000 acres, or approximately 9.5 square miles
Stay tuned for more Bijou Bugles that focus on the people, places, and things of Natural Exposure.

Would you prefer a newsletter to a blog post? I haven't decided if I'll go that route - for privacy reasons. But if many of you prefer it, leave me a comment so I can work on that!
