    Nice trail. Loved the swamp, Spanish moss, domesticated animals. I never heard of this trail and Thanks for sharing. Looking good on subscribers, I can see you’re becoming more well known. Keep biking the trails.

    Thank you for posting the title of the music and the artist you used in your video! You have some great taste in the music and we love finding new artists that we have not been exposed to. 😊
    Your video’s have substantially increased the length of our trail riding bucket list!

    Agree 100% with your assessment of JBT. Couple of notes for those considering riding it: Saturday mornings - be ready to ride fast or be passed constantly (and most don’t give the courtesy “on ur left”), June brings yellow flies - so don’t wear dark clothing, also a ParkRun will be starting June 2024 in the middle section (Halsema Trailhead). ParKRun is a free weekly 5k that will happen Saturday mornings at 7:30 (it may slow down the go fast crowd)
    Luv ur videos.

      No, I've not yet been on any Florida trails down further south than the JAX area. I live in South Carolina, so it's a bit of a haul. Would love to explore more in Florida, however. BTW, the "aerial" or drone-like shots are accomplished with a 360 camera on a 9 ft tall extendable "selfie" stick. I hold it in one hand and steer with the other!

      Great idea! Because apparently it happens a lot. It happened to our friend Thomas who has the “Follow Thomas” RUclips channel. And it happens so much even to the cars in town that the First Baptist Church had this on their sign: “Held up by the train? Take time to pray!”
