Such a beautiful attitude. Despite the deadfall tree limb. And the cranky cranes. This is like a little feel good movie. Five stars.
Nine Lives. Maybe Eight lives now. You guys are doing great. Happy Trails!!!!!
Good miles, lots of fun, new members of the tramily, and pizza on trail. Good friends and fun. Yes!!
What a Meta morning: I am hiking along the Florida trail watching you hike along the Florida
This is the "home section" of the trail for me. Love the Juniper Springs Wilderness area, it has always been kind.
I spent a few birthdays camping at Juniper springs. Always liked it there.
Amazing section of the trail.Gotta watch those tree branches.Lovin' this hike.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoying the Florida trail so much👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yesterday 2/23 in AR was 63 degrees, today is 45! so yes im freezing...can relate to ya! safe travels to ya!
Welcome to my neighborhood.. glad you enjoyed it
Good thing you you weren’t walking a little faster! I thought you stepped in the branch. Lol
But I see now it fell!
Glad it missed you. Keep on trekking! 🎉
Last year we kayaked 150 miles of the Suwannee River. Those FL natural springs are stunningly beautiful.
Great video!
So cool...you inspire me to get out and hike! Be careful out there of falling branches and alligators.
What an awesome day. Love you guys California Joanna
Dayum! That tree branch was out to get you! 😳 So glad it missed you! Windy days always freak me out now after I got brushed by a branch flying by in a crazy storm that came out of nowhere! I thought I saw a green witch fly by too!
Huzzah for slack packin'! I bet that made the day go by much easier!
I love the sound of sandhill cranes. Where I live it means (to me) that Spring has arrived.
Hidden Pond and Juniper Prairie is one of my favorite hiking areas. My buddy and I just sectioned Buckman Locks to the 88 store earlier this week. We then ate lunch at Salt Springs Pizza, which I saw in your video. Very cool video and such a beautiful area.
Always seem happy and having fun on the trail.
Thanks for another great video. Those Sandhill Cranes are scary to me. I frequently encounter them in my neighborhood while walking my dog. 😬
looks like you are having a blast!
Jive Turkey is very cool 😎. We hiked a bit on the AT with him in '21. Glad to see him come to meet up with you . Man, a little of everything going on,. Hiking, slack packing, trail running. Fun day. Great job
Well that turned out better than you thought 👍🏻
The last couple of videos are showing me some hikes I definitely should do. I live about 90 minutes from that area. Thanks for showing me.
Really great place to kayak.
Close call with that branch.
🥾🥾🥾
Rich owned a house a few miles from Salt Springs. It belonged to his parents, but he sold it. It was on Lake Kerr.
Not even 3 minutes in, and Kelly dodges a widowmaker. Those cranes were loud! I agree that 1 area was very Maine-ish minus a couple Meese. Take care ✌️
MEESE!!!
@@kellyhays23 🤣
This section looked amazing. Especially meeting up with your friends, and Pizza and beer! You looked really Happy. Safe travels, enjoy the room tonight.
Juniper has another small spring down the run called Fern Hammock, near the start of one of the most ama zzz ing kayak runs in Florida. Watch out for those falling limbs Kelly!
... Glad you didn't get clobbered by the branch of death ,,that would have left a mark ...... You have the best attitude and outlook of most hikers I have followed ,, lacking good sleep and then trail running ,, you are a beast .... Stay Safe and God Bless ....
Juniper springs has a seven-mile paddle Trail that is probably one of the at least top 5 paddles in Florida, Hopkins prairie is my favorite campsite in the forest, I had a branch fall out of a pine tree and hit the top of my car as I was driving down the road one time, it was a huge branch, and I was shocked that it didn't break my windshield. I'm glad that branch didn't hit you, that was too close for comfort. ✌️
It sometimes flows hard. We watched several inexperienced paddlers flip their boats.
@@wendypelaez9305 It actually has that little section of rapids, it's super fun!
Great video! So did y'all miss the Super Bowl or watch it at the campground? And I love the owl sounds you added to the end of the last few videos. Y'all are doing great! Keep walking!
Love your attitude! I wish I could be out there with you.
Hello Kelly. We get those Sandhill Cranes in the summer north of Lake Huron. Love seeing your videos. Good to see how life is in Florida.
I’m in Texas and we have the Sandhill cranes here now. They’ll be headed to ya soon.
@@BigCountryOutdoors325 Thanks. I like the sharing and the love.
It looks like the Ocala NF looks like there no any water on the trail. You are knocking out those miles
9 lives🤙
Cool hike!
I’ve hiked those trails!
I keep telling people that. The cold hits different when in Florida.
Holy crap is right! What's next, bike helmets for wooded areas?
Florida Sandhill Cranes. They are cool but loud. 😂
Kelly, how’s the pad working for you to sleep on???? It looks very heard to me. I have thought about getting one but I don’t know how my old bones would do. Happy Hiking 🏕🥾💕
How random is nature that the limb fell just as you came by? Thanks for sharing and be safe..
Dead tree limbs are called widow makers, or in your case widower makers, for a reason! Be safe...💯♥️🙏
Hey Kelly 👋👋❤️😊
Watch for falling debris… safe travels
Where is the 88 store?? Enjoy watching you guys hike, safe travels 🙂🙂
I know where that is. I'm from DeLand Florida. I took my boys to juniper run when we lived in Pierson Florida.
The irony of trail-life, when your closest near-death experience doesn't come on the trail, but rather in a parking lot!
Hair looks great being you've been on trail a minute
We did have a gentleman hiker killed by a widow maker, just a few years ago. Sad
@@elephantprotector Davis Path, in the White Mountains of NH. Very sad. They had to go find him as he was solo.
Beautiful video, except that tree branch. How random! But glad you're safe and well.
Hang on a minute - at campground on superbowl sunday you had pizza and went to bed. Next day you went into some town and said it was Sunday and no food was open. Two Sundays?- Groundhog Day? 🤔
Probably got my days all mixed up lol. Never know what day it actually is on trail
You need to come back to the white mountain
8 minute miles is running
Hi another Dumb question (havnt noticed in your vids) Did you do any mail drops or di you just buy as you went, I know you sent your stove home, But how was getting fuel? as i need Hot tea before i start (British lol)
Should we call you 8 Lives now? 😆
-Castaway
Widowmaker awareness is a real thing.
Watch out for those tree branches that's kind of comical you hiked the entire Appalachian trail and never experienced any tree branches falling in the oldest forest in America lol
Self foot massage. Roll out your feet. Highly recommended 👍
That happened to me once with a coconut 🥥 from a very tall tree!!! Talk about close call! The ground shook under my feet from the loud thud it did! I can only imagine what it would of done to my skull 💀
Kelly, I meant to ask in earlier vids; are you guy's doing any cooking or are you going no-cook? P.S. watch out for dead trees.......
1000th like
That's why your trail name is 9 Lives. Perhaps your cardinal friend was trying to warn you. I'm so glad you're ok, please be careful.
I think it was just my grandpa saying hi 😊
@@kellyhays23 I love that thought and idea. I always think of my grandfather when Butterflies are near. They always find a way to say hi. ❤️
Ahhhh ..u like ball..I have been known to shoot around the pigskin alittle..maybe one day ..alittle one on one ..loser buys dinner ..lol..peace
I doesn’t take much to make a bat happy.
If your feathery Cardinal friend didn't stall you, maybe the branch woulda fell right on ya😳❤❤❤
Florida freezing. You are getting further north end of Florida.
may bee U could wear a helmut
I loved your videos….invited me to
That must be about seven of your nine lives. Better start watching out! ;-)
