According to Jason that reports every week about RV's said the house passed a bill negating paying a fee to video Nat'l parks. Yay!
Hasn’t been signed in to law yet.
That is correct passed in house but not othere side it is still against law to film in N/P
TRUE STORY: Lived in FL for 15 years, never went to the Everglades! Thanks for the sneak peak!
Always love Chris' spunk and enthusiasm, what a smile she has. People don't realize we have crocodiles here in FL too!
Sooo cool you got to see all the alligators and a crocodile! 🐊
We were there I think a week after you guys.
I’ll emphasize a few points.
1. Arrive early. The parking fills up fast and then it is one car out - one car in. Check the entrance fee before you go. As I recall, it is expensive - but I have a senior pass so it was free.
I wondered why all the cars parked out along the road - now I know, they were riding in on their bikes.
2. If you are going to ride the tram it is best to make on-line reservation in advance. (You can do this while you wait in line for entrance into the park). One thing they could improve is the flow into the park. Expect to wait in (slow) line. Credit card payment if you don’t have a pass. I could be wrong, but as I recall they don’t accept cash. You don’t want to wait in that slow line only to find out that you need a credit card (or national parks pass).
3. If you are a senior be sure to declare that for your tram ticket (separate from park fee). Substantial discount for seniors.
4. No dogs (alligator food). They will question you if you have a service pet.
FUN FACT Google:
The alligator's running speed is a little slower than the average human, but they're known to sprint as fast as 35 mph.
Nice video, we have alligators here where I live. If you leave them alone they will leave you alone, and their eyes do glow in the dark. Got to watch them around ponds on the golf courses.
Alligator eyes when hit with light are fire engine red. I’m not sure about crocodile eyes. I wintered in Naples for 5 years & thoroughly enjoyed my trips to the Everglades. I too was amazed at all of the natural beauty. Enjoy!
Yep, South Florida is the only place where alligators and crocodiles coexist. The American crocodile can get pretty big.
YES! Alligator and Croc eyes DO glow in the dark. It's very eerie!
Oooohhhh! That would be a scary bike ride in the dark with those looking at you!! 👀👀
Not sure I would want to take the bikes down the road these coordinates (
N 25° 45.616' W 081° 02.061') will help you find but it was really cool to drive by the critters that were using the road to sun. Lots of birds too.
Want to see flamingos? Visit the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean. Millions there!
Really great perspective of Everglades NP.
Excellent video! I definitely want to visit Everglades National Park. Safe travels, y'all..
Cool video! This Florida boy approves.
We watched this video last night-we are camping at Skidaway & went to Savannah this morning & saw y’all!! We were too embarrassed to run you down but just know we were starstruck :)
Oh how fun! You should have said hi! Next time say hi for sure! 😊 Enjoy the area…. We sure are!
@@IreneIronTravels we will def say hi next time! Yall are our favorite RUclipsrs :)
I ride at Shark Valley 2x/week. The big white birds seen at the tower are Common or Great Egrets. Both names are used. The tower was built in 1965 as an observation tower and replaced the fire tower. It is the same design as the Clingman’s Dome tower in Great Smoky Mountains NP. The croc that you saw at about Mile Marker 6 is the medium sized one of the 3 in this part of the park. Looking around from the tower to the south is the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas Federal Wilderness Area, 1.3 million acre and the largest federal wilderness area east of the Rockies. Yup, very little elevation change - only 13” over 7 miles from the tower to the Visitor Center but when the wind is blowing hard in your face it is a 7 mile uphill ride! Nice video and a very good perspective on a truly unique place.
Thanks for sharing all that information! So cool you get to ride the park that much!
Alligators crawl out on banks on sunny days to help digest their food. Crocodiles are extremely dangerous, compared to alligators. So I’ve been told. Thanks, great video
Oh interesting!!
Shark Valley is one of my favourite places. The first time is unforgettable.
Getting our Ram to connect the gps on our phones is a common struggle …
The white birds you were seeing are probably Eggrets
This was fantastic! Thank you so much for taking us along!
The tram ride IS excellent with lots of info! Hope you also visited Royal Pam and stopped at Robert is Here. You would love it!
Nice video and good area to visit. Ram looks good.
Alligator eyes do glow. That is how you find them at night:)
That is incredible
Thanks for the video!
I stopped the video had to take care of something else. My husband is home. After an illness 13 hours from home. But, just as Chris looked at the camera . Golly Girl! I knew you wuz purdy! But you are Gorgeous! I just thought I’d tell ya! My hubs agrees!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
You bet! 👍 Thanks guys!
You only need run faster than Aron to escape an alligator 😁
🤣🐊💨 Yes! Ha ha!
Very cool!
We did this as a day trip from Homestead last winter. Was a very wonderful day 😊
Nice!
We had travelled from Canada’s Yukon to be in Florida for the winter. This was one of the favourite days of our journey.
WHAT A NICE PARK GLAD YOU GOT TO GO. ANNAMAY❤❤❤
Great video!
Irene...they have hundreds of Pink flamingos at the Miami Zoo ,,,,good parking there also great Lions and tigers and bears also
Great adventure, thanks for bringing us a long, and all the helpful tips. Glad you made it out, go Lectric.
I love this video!!❤ The Everglades are on our bucket list, and you did an amazing job of hitting the highlights!!
Thanks so much Shelley!! We really enjoyed it for our first time. You guys will too!
Tip number 5... If you are chased by an alligator or crocodile you don't have to run faster than the animal you just have to run faster than your partner..😬
🤣
60k subscribers! Congrats! That looked like a lot of fun! I've never been there but would love to see it. This is one of your best videos! Have fun!!
🎉 Thanks so much!! Appreciate you watching as always!!
Alligators can run faster than 10 mph, so be careful I use to do gator shows in fla, they can out run you😊
Hey guys it was great meeting you at the RV park. Sorry I didn’t come up to you guys it was early I was leaving that morning and the last thing I wanted to do was talk to 2 pretty people when I didn’t even have my eye brows on 😂🤣 but you guys are so nice! Hope to see you around again.
Ohhh yes for sure! Always come up and say hi! Im sure we'll see ya again on the road! 😊
My wife and I lived in Miami for 25 years. Our home was about 15 miles away from the eastern side of the park. All 4 of our children (born in Miami) we would take to Everglades National Park which was exciting for them. We also would often stop along Tamiami Trail (known formerly as Hwy 41) on our way to Bonita Beach (close to Ft. Myers’s on the Florida west coast) to visit my parents and stop to watch the alligators near the bank of the road “sunning” themselves. We now live outside of Atlanta, Georgia and the children are grown up and married with children of their own, but as I am writing this and watching the video we just happen to be back in Miami to our old stomping grounds with our eldest daughter and husband and their two small children. I reminded my daughter you know you’re in Miami when you see the Geckos climbing the wall of your home and the palm trees. They used to catch them when they were young kids and then dangle them off their ear lobes. Strange it was but kids do strange things. Great memories though. Sounds like you’re having fun in the sunshine state!
Great memories! Thanks for sharing that!
Some Alligators can actually sprint up to 30-35 miles per hour on land....
You guys hit every highlight, spot on!!!! This is my favorite park ever!!! grew up in South Florida, and we would go to Shark Valley every weekend and bike. I love, love, love, love this park.
Another amazing park is Bird Rookery Swamp Trail in Naples Florida. This is non paved, rough terrain, about 12 miles. It is tough, but beautiful. If you want to see gators, this is the park. They will be on the way, you have to be careful not to bike over them. We have even seen river otters. No rangers, no restrooms on the trail, no vending machines, it is raw, you are on your own, so you have to go prepared.
I am now on central Florida and have not found anything like those parks. Thanks for taking me back in memory lane! Loved this video!!!!
So cool! Thanks for sharing that! We’ll have to check it out next time we’re near Naples.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Another difference is the crocodile will see you after while and the alligator will see you later.
🤣🤣
Great video of Shark Valley!! I live in Bonita Springs, FL and enjoy visiting Shark Valley. The alligator you saw from the Tower must be the same one I saw there 2 years ago! It was massive-like 15 feet as you commented. Thanks!
Alligators rarely get bigger than 13 feet.
We took the tour and there was a lot of water on the trail. A grasshopper hitched a ride on my jeans 😂. It was a great trip. We seen lots of birds and some baby alligators.
🤣 Nice! Glad you got to see lots of wildlife!!
My pulse sped up a wee bit just watching - I can't imagine how much it would have increased in person... we'll find out soon enough. Adding this to our list of destination locations!
🤣 it was pretty scary at first!!! You'll love it though...must do visit for sure!
Glad you went to Shark Valley! We loved biking it. However, my husband did get chased on his ebike by a large gator. Kind of scary! You're not quite right about the passes though. One card will still get you and your family or others in your vehicle into National Parks. The only time you need a card per person is when you are entering separately. My pass is all we ever use. If for some reason I went in without my husband and he wanted to come in later, he would need one. If he's with me, we're both able to go in with my pass. That includes the walk-in entry at Zion if you're camping in Watchman. Save your money next year and just buy one. You'll be fine since you're always entering together. We'll add 4 more this fall. That'll be 42 of the 63 for us.
So if you want to take pictures of anything in the park it cost $200? I guess documenting family memories now has a huge price on it.
Have you seen a pink flamingo yet? Drive down the Tamiami towards Goodland. I’m heading there tomorrow and I see them often along the route.
Flamingos and pelicans are at the other end of the park. It also has the newest biggest visitor center at Flamingo. Royal palm is the best boardwalk , magical. It is closest to Coe visitor center. Flamingo center has naturalist led boat rides.
Airboats are banned from Everglades They are destructive and drive away wildlife. Boats are run just outside, and now must stay on regular routes
Congratulations best baby spotter! 🐊
Thanks Carman! We all have our special talents! 😂🤣🐊
Fun😀
Alligators are crazy this time of year. 😊
I can’t believe RAM put wheel weights on the outside of your beautiful black wheels / rims.
I know right!
You guys are cool, newly subscribed!
Hey there! Thanks for watching! 😊
Great video. Years ago I took the old road across the bottom versus alligator alley and made a couple stops to hike. It was a weekday and rarely saw another human. Kind of eerie. I have heard that pythons are taking over the everglades.
Very cool! Yes, we didnt see any pythons, but it would have been interesting to see. Sooooo much undeveloped land down there!
The alligator's running speed is a little slower than the average human, but they're known to sprint as fast as 35 mph. Imagine seeing this large, dinosaurian creature running towards you at that speed. In the water they are slower at 20mph.
Whoa! They were pretty scary to see so close to the walking path!
Won't need film permit soon NPS
🤞 hopefully
You tube RV Miles has new info about NPS filming permits.
Well, you two need to soak it all in and share with your viewers!!!!!!
Yes! 😊
Chris - dry socks 😂
🤣
If your back causes disability you can receive an American The Beautiful Access pass that allows 1/2 price camping.
A pass is your ticket to more than 2,000 federal recreation sites. Each pass covers entrance fees at national parks and national wildlife refuges as well as standard amenity fees (day use fees) at national forests and grasslands, and at lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A pass covers entrance, standard amenity fees and day use fees for a driver and all passengers in a personal vehicle at per vehicle fee areas (or up to four adults at sites that charge per person). Children age 15 or under are admitted free.
I'm sorry Aaron but take a look at a swans foot and tell me if they perch in trees. 🤣🤣🤣
🤣 Yes, I realized that was dumb while I was editing! But, I left it in there....🤣🤣
🤣Yes, I realized that was dumb when I was editing it... but left it in there anyways! 🤣🤣
@@IreneIronTravels Thank you for leaving it in. You made my day! I haven’t laughed that much in a long time 🤣
I never had to pay separately for my wife with the card, I assumed I was paying for the vehicle.
I live near Tampa. I have gators in my yard! 2,000,000 gators in FL.! There is a gator in a lake in Lakeland that is 23 feet long. The state measures their length with a laser. No one wants to go near it.
Crocodiles are AGGRESSIVE!
They are not the same temperament .
I have family with an alligator farm in Louisiana:) Gucci contractor for their watch bands.
Boy, we keep waffling on whether to buy ebikes and it's getting harder as we continue to see how you use yours. Inching closer...
😊 yeah it really varies how people use them! We really love these for “excursion” days!
How did the bikes fit in the new truck?
They fit! But, definitely better in the Ford with the smaller hitch and extra bed length. In the RAM they kinda sit half on top of the hitch and half on the mat. But, works great 👍
How would they enforce a filming permit? I'd just use a cell phone 😊
👍👍
Alligators can sprint 35 miles per hour. Be careful out there
What acyst level on your bike did you use to make 15 miles on those small electric bikes?
These bikes will do 15 miles on full assist 5, speed/throttle. If we do assist 1 or 2 we could go probably 20-30 miles. 👍
Wait, we now need to get a license to take pictures in a "National Park " of which we already pay taxes to fund? The government has a copyright of scenery?
South Florida is the only place you will find alligators and crocodiles.
I think you saw a huge alligator, not crocodile. They do exist in Florida, but Alligators outnumber them 1000's to one.
And the crocodiles in Florida don’t get that big like the ones in Africa
I think it was a gator, not a crock???
Yall don't bring near enough water for emergency situations😂😂😂😂
Did you have any concerns leaving your ebikes parked when you entered the no bike areas?
We're always pretty aware of the bikes, especially in big city areas and campgrounds. We usually lock them up with a big Kryptonite chain no matter how long we leave them. We didn't have it this trip though! But, it was really isolated in the park and didn't have to worry too much.
Thanks!
I thought there were no crocodiles in the US?
There are saltwater crocodiles in the Everglades. They don’t get as big as the ones in Africa or Australia.
The House has passed the EXPLORE Act, which will eliminate the need for permits or fees for one to three people filming with just one camera in the parks. Waiting for the Senate to pass it and the President to sign. I rob the National Parks - I bought my lifetime permit on my 62nd birthday. I'm glad you were able to film here I've been to Florida three times and did not enjoy it. No plans to go back.
Grew up in Boca Raton Florida and it's great in South Florida but it's getting way too over crowded these days .Was much better back in the late 70s through the 90s.
You’ll be fine they’re not aggressive. But if you see any Boa constrictors or rather the pythons. Hurricane put them out there. Fla doesn’t mind you killing them. Call & find out the price & rules. Those big snakes have been eating all of the local animals.
We've heard about those as an invasive species here!
Well I guess the park doesn’t want anybody filming but they won’t admit it.
It sure seems that way!
This video seems like something you would share with your family and not with the masses. And a friendly reminder Kris: Aaron is your husband, not your partner. Save that political crap for your California gay friends.
