I love the fact that you pay extra close attention to all the wildlife around you each day....and actually get closeups of each gator or bird when you can....including the beautiful Roseate Spoonbills (pink birds) on this vid. Most ppl I know would walk right by such amazing creatures and not even know they are there. Keep trecking
I always say one of my retirement hobbies will be bird watching, they are such cool creatures and you saw so many fun ones this day! Great detour, thanks for sharing!
A must stop is Hopkins Prairie Campground and watching the thousands of bats exiting at dusk. It's at nobo mm 451. The Campground has restrooms and besides being very nice is in some of the most beautiful prairies the FT has to offer as it goes thru Ocala NF. You will love this long stretch.
Bats, turtles, birds, snakes and alligators and such beautiful prairies, can't ask for more ! The Ocala section even has monkeys in certain places! I'm enjoying this sooo much! Keep up the great trekking! God bless yall !!!
Bison. Its what's for dinner! We love OWP! Went there last month on a cold morning and had it all to our selves pretty much. Great video of the spoonbill on the trees. Love how you keep your videos short but entertaining.
Hey Kelly, just catching up with you. So glad you’re on the Fla Trail. Loved your vids of the Big Cypress (1st three days). Great videography of that section. Best to you guys as you move north. Enjoy the Ocala Nat Forest section. 😎
I absolutely loved this video! The Orlando Wetlands Park looks like an incredible place to hike and explore. The new boardwalk is such a great addition to the park and I can't wait to visit it myself. Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience with us.
The wetlands preserve was awesome! Good to hear you laugh at the ducks running across the water. 🙂 Enjoy that double zero! You've earned every bit of it. ✌️
I went to the Orlando Wetlands Park twice, about a month ago, for the first time. I live 30 minutes away, by car. I was there for hours, and you got to some parts I didn’t reach. A great place. Great shots of the birds. My iPhone won’t get those pics! I have some better camera gear, but I usually don’t travel with it. I agree with Kelly, this place is recommended.
Have lived nearby in Oviedo for almost 9 years. Had no idea of the wetlands park just down the road north of Christmas. I need to get out more to places besides softball fields…lol.
.... Decided to take a blue blaze ,, it has a wetland ,, well of course it does ... your on the FT ... ... The wildlife is AWESOME !! .... .. Noggins looking pretty OK ,, how's the feet ?? ..
Hey Kelly, when you overnighted in Christmas Fla., reminded me of when I went through Christmas Michigan back in '75 (the UP), wow, your making me feel old! LOL keep on!
I wonder who planned the route of the trail, I’m wondering why they didn’t make the trail go near the springs! You’re missing all the stunning blue springs.
Kelly probably doesn’t reveal her location intentionally, which I understand. But, I predict they are somewhere north of the Orlando area, and nowhere near the panhandle right now.

Looks like some great trail days. Love seeing how different parts of the country are so different!

By far, a must stop for anyone in the area or visiting. The wildlife was amazing. Another great video. Thank you for sharing
Loving your videos. Thanks for showing us the Park. It was beautiful !!!
I live nearby, and the Orlando Wetlands Park is always my go-to recommendation for folks, local and visitors alike!

Awesome video. The birds in that wetland were absolutely beautiful 🤩 That looks like a great place to visit if I’m ever in that area.
Very beautiful nature! Thank you for filming
looks like a fun day especially after that road walk

Orlando Wetlands is a neat place been there a few times...the roseate spoonbill birds are awesome!....lots of gators there too!
That blue blaze was amazing. What a cool place.

Roseate Spoonbills and Coots are two of my favorite Florida birds.
Really enjoying this series.Thankyou.
Wow, the birds were awesome. Stay well and safe.
That was awesome! Those pink birds are really cool.
I would say this part of the none trail would be one of the best things to do when on the trail. Old Florida wildlife.
Have lived nearby in Oviedo for almost 9 years. Had no idea of the wetlands park just down the road north of Christmas. I need to get out more to places besides softball fields…lol.
Hiking in my neck of the woods! Welcome to Central Florida!!!
Florida is so weird. I love it here.
Those pink birds look like they have headphones on lol. Super cute
Love the birds you hi-lighted!
Love your videos on the FL TRAIL!
Wonderful video, I'm really enjoying this trail series! Thank you for sharing
I did the same thing. It was cool, but I missed that turn off to leave the wetlands. I walk up on two gators about 5 ft way
Florida has a lot to offer. I enjoyed the boardwalk.
Mango Bubly. I miss that stuff.
That blue blaze was gorgeous!
neat path great video footage
👋👋 as always my friend stay safe ❤️ from New Mexico 😊

@@elephantprotector 😂
Thought for sure I was gonna be on camera for the second there at the end. :)
Love your videos on the FT
I'm sorry,,, it was YOUR vlog I saw the monkeys @ Silver Springs !!
Good morning Kelly!
I wonder who planned the route of the trail, I’m wondering why they didn’t make the trail go near the springs! You’re missing all the stunning blue springs.
shes not near the springs yet.
Spoonbills!

Where is James these days? Will he be joining you at any time on the FT?
Hey Kelly did I miss where other 2 hiking buddies went
Kittyhawk left to do the CDT. Tripod is still with her.
You were in Melbourne? Nice
Kelly how are you doing have you made it the panhandle yet
Kelly probably doesn’t reveal her location intentionally, which I understand. But, I predict they are somewhere north of the Orlando area, and nowhere near the panhandle right now.
@@florida-alaskasummer22driv62 I think you're right these videos are normally two or three days out from the original time and location
I would love to go hiking with you guys Kelly hit me up
