    I've been there many times, in my younger days, with my Dad. Watching your video, brought a slue of memories, pouring back to me...especially seeing the end of the old 7-mile bridge, with the old railroad tracks as banister blockers. And the Drone footage was Excellent. The editing was perfect! You've made an old man's day! I intend to forward this to my entire contact list! This is the best half hour I've spent in years! THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME AND GIVING THE LOVE TO POST ! 💘

    I grew up going to that campground. Fishing and camping with my family are some of the best memories I have,I am truly heartbroken at the fact that it doesn’t exist anymore.

      I currently live in Alaska and it’s absolutely gorgeous in the summer, but the winters are too long (at least 6 months). I’m moving to Florida to live 9 months per year, the other 3 months, I’ll stay in Alaska and fish for salmon.

    Hi Robert, great video. It helped us with the decision to make the drive from Canada to this Campground this March. Really sorry to hear it is closing soon, what a great location. We also checked out a few of the restaurants you reviewed. Have to find a different campground for the next time. Love the Keys. Keep up the awesome videos.

    • @TravelingRobert
      @TravelingRobert  7 лет назад

      +Lance b The latest I heard is that the property was sold but they really don't know when they will start the construction so it may still be open for a while.

  • @southtxblues
    @southtxblues 8 лет назад

    I was so hoping to see a video of your riding on the old bridge. I love to bike and enjoy watching for videos of rides off the streets, along paved trails, especially ones near here in south Texas. The bridge sounded an ideal place to ride. I hope you bring your bike and try again when the construction is finished. The views will be awesome!

    • @TravelingRobert
      @TravelingRobert  8 лет назад

      +southtxblues Yeah I was disappointed when I saw the bridge closed but I'll be back as soon as they open it again.

    It is Hot in August. Around Xmas the camp sites are more booked but you don't hear any loud music, the Tiki bar is 100% open, and people are from all over and very, very, very nice...plus the cafe is open too for meals ( next to the fish cutting station).
    What is real fun is for $25 take the starfish snorkel tour out to the reef....so worth it!!!

    Love Marathon. We've been going to The Hawks Nest on Knights Key for over 40 years and it never gets old. Watching your film made me sad to know the area was so devastated by Irma. We won't be able to come this year, but hopefully everything will back to normal next year.

    • @TravelingRobert
      @TravelingRobert  7 лет назад

      We love the area too. Give them a year and they will be back to normal.

    @marydisharoon9036 8 лет назад

    Enjoyed the video, my husband and I were there last week. First time ever in the keys. We took the ferry boat over to Pigeon Key island, along with eight others, and that was a good decision. Beautiful place, sad that folks can no longer bike over to it.

    Robert, I rode my bike on the old bridge to Pigeon Key. No one told me that the pavement was busted up. I rode all the way out there and back, but it was a rough ride. I also drank about two liters of water; there and back. It's really pretty out there, though.

    Hey Traveling Robert. I recently started watching your videos and I love them. Have you ever been to my beautiful state of New Hampshire? I would love to see a video from here. You should come late summer or early fall (great foliage). It's very cold here from late fall to late spring.

  • @MichaelBrown-ny3et
    @MichaelBrown-ny3et 4 года назад

    Your thumbnail was heartbreaking to me. For those who don’t know, it’s a picture of the Hawks Nest at the foot of the 7 mile bridge. Irma damaged it to the point that the insurance company wouldn’t pay to repair it so it’s shut down. Incompetence led to its demise post hurricane. My family and I had been going there since the mid 70’s for mini season. We loved to go down there and rape all the lobsters away from the locals. At least that’s what we were accused of. I almost had shirts made that said “we aren’t from here”, just because the locals were so proud to say they were.. That being said, lots of good memories there.

    Hi Robert! How are you? Your videos are the best!!! I just love them! I´m from Brazil and me and my husband intend to travel around Florida on next year and I would like to know your opinion about the best month to go. Thank you so much to share with us all your great experiences!

    • @TravelingRobert
      @TravelingRobert  8 лет назад +1

      +Ana Elisa Starling Best month for the weather is February but it is also the high season, so higher prices and everything is crowded. November and April are still good too but much more quiet. Avoid July and August. Way too hot and humid. Enjoy your Florida vacation and let me know if you have any other questions.

    Hi Robert! New subscriber : ) I have just recently purchased a 2017 1706FBS. We just had our first trip. It was great! Can you do a video on your Weber hookup? Not sure what connections I need to make this work. It sounds like I need to remove the regulator on the grill. Thanks man. Looking forward to watching your videos : )

    • @TravelingRobert
      @TravelingRobert  8 лет назад +1

      Thank you! Yes, in order to make it work with the RV connection you have to remove the regulator. I was tempted to do it, but instead I just use a 16oz Coleman propane cylinder, maybe not as economic but more convenient for me.

    Great video! Do you know if you can rent boats and go wake boarding or skiing on the ocean, or is the water not calm enough?

      +Trent Loomis Yes, not in the exact place where I was but there are plenty of places on the keys where you can do that, especially in Key West.

      Thanks! I replaced it with a new one. Nobody seemed to like the Road Nomad name, so now I'm just Traveling Robert: Free in my RV
