    If you head down the state, I am 5 miles north of Rainbow Springs State Park. If you need a place to hang for a day or two, we have a couple acres with hookus. Safe Travels.

    Have you guys been to Devils Grotto in Gainesville? It’s seriously cool! Try silver spring outside of Ocala. Take a glass bottom boat but look out for the monkeys!! One or more of the Tarzan movies were filed there and my elementary school principal was a swim coach directing!
    Those lowlifes in the forest are the worst! Florida native here!

    If you want manatees make it down to Three Sisters and it won't disappoint! Because of the cold weather they're everywhere! We love seeing them. Some of them have little radio units on them for tracking and there's many babies. PLUS think about doing a diving tour, on the Crystal River, it is an experience that is a once in a life time!!! You can't touch them but if they touch you, its OK. My SIL had a baby nibble on his beard Cody! He talks about it still today, and that was 5 years ago!!!

My family swims at wakulla springs and jump off the platform into the spring it is awsome and feels so wonderful. Come back and swim this summer. The lodge and the boat tour are so special.You have really found one of Florida's hidden gems. .I wish I would have know you guys were in the area I live in the country and you guys could have hooked up for free. Enjoy your stay.

I can't believe just how destructive people can be. Or how they can feel that kind of behavior is acceptable. Your boat trip was so cool. And the lodge was beautiful! Another great vlog from you two.

    Try the east coast around Augustine, Silver Springs if it's reopened. The Silver river water literally is like looking into a glass of water. 80 feet deep at the main pool and I forget how many gallons a minute coming out. Glass bottom boats with electric motors The lost City of Atlantis, Sea Hunt and others filmed there at least read the history awesome place. Midway down there is the Crystal River another super clear river.

    • @SandyL76
      @SandyL76 11 месяцев назад

      If you want to see manatees in super clear blue water, go to Blue Springs near Deland. Also, Three Sister Springs in Crystal River. You can actually swim with them in Crystal River!
      We went to Falling Waters once in the summer, but there was no water falling and some poor people were trying to get married in front of the waterfall!
      If you are ever back in the panhandle, check out Ponce DeLeon Springs and Morrison Springs. Morrison Springs is good for kayak and paddle boarding.
      As a Floridian (for the past 20+ yrs), I’m really ashamed of those drunks tearing stuff up. Sorry you experienced that. I don’t think I would have felt comfortable staying the night there with the fire burning so close.

    I bought a Byrna pistol. It shoots chemical pellet balls. Kinda like powerful bear spray and when it hits it explodes into a big powdery cloud. Deterring animals and/or stopping humans. I use it as a non-lethal protection. It is effective up to 60’. I bought it because we were at a campground and a prisoner escaped a police transfer vehicle near-by. The sheriff rolled thru the campground, I asked my uncle who was camping with us if he was packing. He wasn’t. So I did some research and bought the Byrna. It is legal to carry in all 50 states and I think Canada. Great video!
