I began watching bc we were retiring and going to buy an RV. But I recently was told I have lung cancer. I continue to watch bc it's relaxing and I enjoy it. Keep up the inspiring work! God bless.
Well, turned out it was not cancer. I suffered a pulmonary embolism (blood clots in lung). Same symptoms. Had a mass on lung in cat scan but wasn't cancer! Long recovery but I'm alive. Thank GOD! I appreciate your kind comments. Be safe in your travels.
Next time you go there, go to the south end of the lake in Pahokee. There's a little gem of a "campground" run by the city. You would call there to make a RSVN. They have an awesome restaurant and bar with live outside band, a chilled pool, pool table and other outdoor games and a bike trail along the lake. No town to go to or anything, but a nice area to relax and never crowded. I think they just remodeled or are remodeling it all now. Guy Harvey used to own it I believe.
Sunday morning coffee watching Robert! Thanks buddy!!! Was just talking about Okeechobee with my Wife yesterday and how they plan on making it 10.5 feet deeper...
I was camping at a ACE(Army Corps of Engineers) camp grounds in TN last summer and one of the camp hosts said he is a camp host during the winter at the KOA you are at and he said it is the largest KOA in USA and possibly the largest camp ground in USA.
Howdy Robert,thanks a lot for sharing yet another brilliant video here which i watched with great pleasure and full attention as usual.No need to point out I am now anxiously looking forward to your upcoming videos on your journey to the west, pal.Always a real treat to the eye and ear surely.Best wishes and cordial greetings from William in Bruges,Belgium,Europe
Robert thanks so much for a beautiful view of this beautiful Lake. And for all the crybabies on the coas,t well stay away. I love this area and so glad you gave us a view of this marvelous lake.
I just discovered your channel and I have been binge watching. I really enjoy the keys videos especially. Your theme song has been running they my head all morning...
We used to winter there. Leased a spot for 6 months. It was located on the main channel. PJs RV resort. Spent the summer months touring the US. Returned to Okeechobee when it got cold. Wish I was there right now.
Please keep riding and traveling! You are an inspiration and I'm looking forward, God willing to be traveling with my RV one day. I think when I turn 50 I will invest and go full time RV living.
Yeah, it's not the most vibrant downtown you've ever seen... but isn't that the point of going to these places? You want everywhere you go to be like Miami? "Not the most vibrant place" is just the kind of place I look for when I get out of town. In fact "No Signal" would be perfect! Love your videos.
Sounds like a nice little trip! That KOA looks awful for my tastes. I've always said I dont want to camp at a place where I can't even open up my awning. Love your vids!
I will visit lake Okeechobee area next time when I visit in Florida, maybe Christmas season in 2019 from Detroit. and then I will upload the road trip videos as well... thanks for sharing your video foe the lake Okeechobee, Fl.
I'm on my way to Daytona this weekend to see the motorcycle flat track races and spend a couple days in the sun myself. Hope that nice weather waits for me to get there.
Robert, the ending to this video was four stars along with how you did the music made me a little emotional., well done sir.. I can't wait to see what is to come... Thank you..
YAY Okeechobee!!...you passed directly in front of both my Family's Campgrounds on your route. We are on the water and 3 miles before the KOA (at 5:50 when you show the Alligator you notice the radio tower in the background - my family's Parks are just before and just after that tower). You made a great choice choosing the Lightseys restaurant (they just relocated there 2years ago). They used to be located a few miles to the West on Hwy 78 directly where the Kissimmee River connects into the Lake (you passed it when you went to Brighton Indian Reservation). Congratulations Ileana for winning the $150...I also had similar luck my 1st time there was $220 after just 15mins playing...I ate then left too :-). Both their restaurant and family have been featured on many TV networks. The restaurant has a very interesting story and started from very humble beginnings, originally just helping at the local boat ramp and then creative in how they grew from that. They have a very interesting story and recognized in contributions to the history around Okeechobee. Alot of fun memories there, and always great place to eat. Next time you pass by I recommend you also try Parrot Island restaurant and Cowboys BBQ. You mentioned the 'tank' at 10:46...the answer is they removed it a couple months ago for restoration and rebuilding, so the tank will be back soon when they finish the makeover. at 11:50 you visited the Okeechobee Historic Battlefield...they have a dedicated group of people who perform reenactments each year during the last week of February. I like the teaser video at the end of this video. Thanks for making & sharing. Keep up the great work! Your channel has really grown and improved.
Great video I live in okeechobee and you are not crazy there was a tank there and its back in its spot they took it away to do some maintence on the tank to keep it looking good
Thanks for the odor Klein’s info, we can’t find products to remove smells of cologne fabric softener etc, my wife has hyper chemical sensitivity and our clothing gets saturated in public places. We either have to air it out for days or weeks before washing to get it to a place that doesn’t agitate her chemical allergies. Thank you Robert will check it out.
This video made me a little homesick. I'm from Western Palm Beach County area and we frequently every 9 months would visit Okeechobee. Thanks for sharing. I'm hoping to have my B class camper van soon. Bu the way, is that you singing?? You sound great!
I am actually looking forward to the videos Robert, I start my week's vacation on March 13th, and I don't have to be back to work till March 23rd, so that gives me 10 days to watch any and all videos that you're going to post. I definitely look forward to them unless of course I get my settlement in which case I'll be coming to Florida and won't have time to watch videos, so I guess I'll let you know either way.
Robert, if your west coast trip includes central California, check out the California Delta. Great place to RV! Lake Okeechobee reminds me of it - minus the alligators.
I actually live in Miami and take rides to okeechobee late. I go to port mayaca it is beautiful there. I have taken a ride around it never get down because i don’t know the area too well and I did see coming down on the east side of the lake a house with the confederate flag so I get scared to get down. BUT I am thankful that you experienced okeechobee and recorded it so that I can experience it safely at home. lol. 💖🤗
Robert a suggestion: you might find it fun and interesting to travel north on I75 all the way to northern Michigan and the Canadian border. Returning to Florida either on US27 or US23. Both start in northern Michigan. Or for an adventure take US31 from northern Michigan to Mobile. Travel safe.
KOA camping grounds are very nice. We stayed at a KOA in Tusan Arizona. Their food at the Restraunt was very good. Their RV space wasn’t as tight as this.
Great to see you getting back on the road regularly! I've been past the lake but have never stopped. Beautiful wildife! Are there that many attacks by alligators on trails there? Just wondering after seeing the signage. Great drone footage. Expansive area. Looking forward to the footage going west! Safe travels 🐉🌵
Drone barrel roll at 6:16.....nice flying! LOL Love the emphatic singing at the end of the video. Very nice and beautiful voice! Thanks for the videos. Jim.
@@scotchgod8478 Yeah, there's a direct relationship between fuel price and their motivation to get good gas mileage. I wonder how much of that high price is tax.
Wow Robert, you traveled quite extensively out West. In your podcast you covered some observations regarding your Chevrolet Colorado. Were you thinking of doing something similar with your RUclips channel, maybe go into reliability and maintenance as well?
damn it,! Robert i was just there in the area all wk end, kept my eyes open for your rig. Wanted to meet you. By the way, where did all the sunshine come from as it was the most rainy , cloudy week i have been in down there. Left for Alabama , stayed in a park and left right before those tornadoes hit. Just got back to Michigan tonight, weather is crap here also. thinking of packing up and leaving out west in couple days. Im gonna hunt you down one of these trips to say hi. When will you be leaving for west again? New mexico ,Arizona, and Nevada are on the list for me.
I began watching bc we were retiring and going to buy an RV. But I recently was told I have lung cancer. I continue to watch bc it's relaxing and I enjoy it. Keep up the inspiring work! God bless.
Hope you beat that cancer and travel
Well, turned out it was not cancer. I suffered a pulmonary embolism (blood clots in lung). Same symptoms. Had a mass on lung in cat scan but wasn't cancer! Long recovery but I'm alive. Thank GOD! I appreciate your kind comments. Be safe in your travels.
My Grandfather used to live there brings back memories.

Thank you. I'll check it out
Sunday morning coffee watching Robert! Thanks buddy!!! Was just talking about Okeechobee with my Wife yesterday and how they plan on making it 10.5 feet deeper...
John, not 10.5 feet deeper, they want to lower the lake level to 10.5 feet above sea level.
It's been a great journey watching you develop your channel and watching you discover America.
Can't wait to watch announced videos! Thank you for interesting stories and excellent views!
I was camping at a ACE(Army Corps of Engineers) camp grounds in TN last summer and one of the camp hosts said he is a camp host during the winter at the KOA you are at and he said it is the largest KOA in USA and possibly the largest camp ground in USA.
Always super cool videos, thanks for taking the time Rob.

Ah the good life, you got it made Robert and I enjoy your freedom with you Thanks (Like that lively upgrade of the theme song)
Robert thanks so much for a beautiful view of this beautiful Lake. And for all the crybabies on the coas,t well stay away. I love this area and so glad you gave us a view of this marvelous lake.
Gooooood morning Robert. Thank you for the new video. We enjoy them immensely. Have a great day, and remember, fly pelican, fly! 🌴😀
I just discovered your channel and I have been binge watching. I really enjoy the keys videos especially. Your theme song has been running they my head all morning...
Thank you, and welcome!

Sitting near my wood stove watching the snow fall enjoying your video.
I really enjoy when you explore the beaches around the south and the east. You help me with ideas for my trips! Be safe!!
I have been to Florida with my family members in 2010 and Key West was so beautiful, nice video, Thank you~ From South Korea
Thank you!
Please keep riding and traveling! You are an inspiration and I'm looking forward, God willing to be traveling with my RV one day. I think when I turn 50 I will invest and go full time RV living.
Growing up in Minnesota, land o 10,000 lakes, fishing was second nature. I was astonished to hear you say you had to learn how. It's easy.
I guess I've just never gotten around to it :-)
Thanks Robert. It's been a fun year of videos!
Yeah, it's not the most vibrant downtown you've ever seen... but isn't that the point of going to these places? You want everywhere you go to be like Miami? "Not the most vibrant place" is just the kind of place I look for when I get out of town. In fact "No Signal" would be perfect! Love your videos.
You've got a point, but sometimes something "in the middle" is preferred.
Sounds like a nice little trip!
That KOA looks awful for my tastes. I've always said I dont want to camp at a place where I can't even open up my awning.
Love your vids!
Great vid Robert, that rv park was way too crowded. It was still fun to watch.
Nice little trip. Can’t wait to watch the western adventure. ❤
Robert, love your narration and editing, music also is super ! you keep us tuned in.
I will visit lake Okeechobee area next time when I visit in Florida, maybe Christmas season in 2019 from Detroit. and then I will upload the road trip videos as well... thanks for sharing your video foe the lake Okeechobee, Fl.
Thanks for sharing!! I loved the ending with the song and recap of your trip
Beautiful ending on this vid,,thank you for bringing us along..
the music accompanying the video super duper excellent, too!!!
Thank you!
New driving to the West!! I can not wait! Thank you for your videos!!
I'm on my way to Daytona this weekend to see the motorcycle flat track races and spend a couple days in the sun myself. Hope that nice weather waits for me to get there.

Thank you! I'll make it back to Okeechobee, probably next winter
And they have good music too! "T.S.O.P." by MFSB was playing while you were in the pool! It was the theme for "Soul Train" in the 70's 💃🏾
Great video I live in okeechobee and you are not crazy there was a tank there and its back in its spot they took it away to do some maintence on the tank to keep it looking good
I gotta go back :-)
I live here and you make it look better then it is
Excellent video. You do a really good job. I definitely don't have enough nerve to cook fish in my RV. Lol!!
Nice cover on truck Robert
Can't wait to see your Journey to the west. 👍
Great video! I always enjoy watching your journeys!
i remember climbing on those tanks when i was young
Thanks for the odor Klein’s info, we can’t find products to remove smells of cologne fabric softener etc, my wife has hyper chemical sensitivity and our clothing gets saturated in public places.

I lived in Los Angeles California before, so when I moved here to Chicago. I drove the whole route 66 now 40
Cool
Can’t wait to see your next batch of videos!
Coming soon
This video made me a little homesick. I'm from Western Palm Beach County area and we frequently every 9 months would visit Okeechobee. Thanks for sharing. I'm hoping to have my B class camper van soon. Bu the way, is that you singing?? You sound great!

Robert, if your west coast trip includes central California, check out the California Delta. Great place to RV! Lake Okeechobee reminds me of it - minus the alligators.
The tank is back!!! It was out getting repainted!!
Good to know
Thanks Robert for this fantastic trip...
Robert is that you signing ! I love it.
Yes it is
WOW!!!! That's is tight spot for the rv, So did the neighbor have to pull in there awing ???
I actually live in Miami and take rides to okeechobee late. I go to port mayaca it is beautiful there.

I love your videos. They are so great!! We live in up in Jacksonville.
I enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing.
Very nice campground. I am not very far from there. Too bad that I didn't know that you were around.
nice campgrounds..u should play the golf course there
wow Robert... Look at that views! You nail it!! Great video...
Looking forward to your traveling West videos. I see you just posted one.
👍😀 That one doesn't go officially public until Sunday, but I added it to a couple of playlists so it is visible if you know where to look. Thank you!
Robert a suggestion: you might find it fun and interesting to travel north on I75 all the way to northern Michigan and the Canadian border. Returning to Florida either on US27 or US23. Both start in northern Michigan. Or for an adventure take US31 from northern Michigan to Mobile. Travel safe.
Love western Michigan along the lake.
When I was a kid I went to Okeebogee. But it is in Iowa. Also a lake.
Driving to the west, i'm excited for the Zions footage.
Me too :-)
‘The West is the Best’ as sung by one famous musician...
Do plan to go to Lake Placid and Sebring. Highlands Hammock State Park is pretty popular.
Hot (94 degrees) will make even a KOA easier to deal with if the electricity is dependable
Un exitazo su canción in my RV felicidades
Gracias
KOA camping grounds are very nice. We stayed at a KOA in Tusan Arizona. Their food at the Restraunt was very good. Their RV space wasn’t as tight as this.
In my experience KOA's vary greatly. The one in Gila Bend is pretty nice too
Traveling Robert where’s the Gila Bend?
Southern Arizona
So glad to see this video!
Thx for the video Robert. Love to have a beer with u one day. On are way west right now, see u on the road.
nice video, I'll b waiting ALMOST patiently for the next video........lol
welcome to Okeechobee
Keep it up, REALLY enjoy watching and cant wait for the Road to the East videos :D :D
Robert... Niceeee video... Will see u soon in Vegas.
Great to see you getting back on the road regularly! I've been past the lake but have never stopped. Beautiful wildife! Are there that many attacks by alligators on trails there? Just wondering after seeing the signage. Great drone footage. Expansive area. Looking forward to the footage going west! Safe travels 🐉🌵
Live in fort Perice, work in Chobee once or twice a month, there isn’t much to do there if your in your 20’s.
OH, I'm in my late 40's and there's not much to do either except relax and play golf
13 MPG is really good. How heavy is your trailer?
Okeechobee is My Home! I Love Okeechobee!
Mike R not no more bud
Very good. Now I am waiting "going to the West" Congrats...>>>
I drove from Bradenton to Miami by that route
That looks rough! Not like the single digit temps and snow here in paradise (Chicago.)
I like your channel Robert. Are we going to see more of your gal in 2019?
Drone barrel roll at 6:16.....nice flying! LOL
Love the emphatic singing at the end of the video. Very nice and beautiful voice!
Thanks for the videos. Jim.
13 miles/gallon?😁 I guess that's because fuel is still ridiculously cheap in the US.
I envy you so much!
In the 90's I paid as little as 87 cents per gallon of gas. THAT was ridiculously cheap gasoline.
Holy moly ,which literally was a steal! atm were paying 5,60$ per gallon over here. that's why Germany's designing cars which are economical on fuel
@@scotchgod8478
Yeah, there's a direct relationship between fuel price and their motivation to get good gas mileage. I wonder how much of that high price is tax.
J Shepard
it's shockingly high. I guess two thirds of the price is tax and some moronic Green Party supporters think that's still too cheap, lol
I still haven't gotten there yet but I plan to show up post covid.
goood mooorning mr robert nice day süper place .
Awesome video and preview!
Wow Robert, you traveled quite extensively out West. In your podcast you covered some observations regarding your Chevrolet Colorado. Were you thinking of doing something similar with your RUclips channel, maybe go into reliability and maintenance as well?
That's a good idea. Thanks. I probably will go into some of that.
Hmmmm... Lake Okeechobee not a friend of us who have homes in SWFL. Will still like to get to lake O to do some fishing though.
You have an amazing voice!!
damn it,! Robert i was just there in the area all wk end, kept my eyes open for your rig. Wanted to meet you. By the way, where did all the sunshine come from as it was the most rainy , cloudy week i have been in down there. Left for Alabama , stayed in a park and left right before those tornadoes hit. Just got back to Michigan tonight, weather is crap here also. thinking of packing up and leaving out west in couple days. Im gonna hunt you down one of these trips to say hi. When will you be leaving for west again? New mexico ,Arizona, and Nevada are on the list for me.
I'm not leaving until late spring. San Antonio rally and then VidCon in Los Angeles, and from there we'll see
Im out west in July myself, camping in Oregon!
Great video can’t wait for more.
Great stuff, thanks Robert.
Only 90 days till I move back to Fl, ready for warmer weather again
Life of Brian it’s been pretty warm already here. Last week it was pushing 90! We are kinda ready for the warmer weather too. More camping!!!
Unfortunately it’s 22 here this morning way too cold for Texas
Good morning Robert 🌞
My parents live in Okeechobee
The tank was being sandblasted
Great video.
What camera do you have mounted on the top of your RV?
