Best Florida State Park For Wildlife Photography - Myakka River

Myakka River has 3 campground loops and each offers something totally unique when it comes to florida state park camping. With biking, hiking and other fun things to do at the park you'll find it tempting to not do the one thing it's most known for, florida state park wildlife photography. You'll also find the wildlife photography is not just birds. Be careful where you bike and hike because Myakka River State Park boasts more alligators than any other Florida Park and even rivals the big national park, Everglades National Park.

    Hi Owen and Lynn and Maggie! Great video! Loved see ing the wild life in the video. Maggie looked so cute riding in the back of Owens bike. And when Owen was making the chops. Glad the pork chops turned out good! Glad you’re not getting rid of the Ekko. I love the Ekko! It fits you both. Glad you have a big water tank. It last a long while. Have a great week and happy tails to you too! Love you! ❤️🩷🤗🤗😘😘

    Get a silicone cookie sheet liner and put it on your induction cooktop. It evens out the spaces between the pan and the top for better induction. And it protects the cooktop from scratches. Pork chops looked great and I could see the beginnings of delicious gravy in that pan.

    Hi Owen and Lynn! We look forward to your videos every week. We are a bit older than you and not quite as active, but we walk and bike as much as we can and keep on pushing. Thank you for sharing another great campground - it's now on our calendar. It's amazing how much we relate to you two! We just finished enjoying another great video of yours, and it put us in a great mood, especially with the ending where Owen had just finished using the campground restroom. (We also avoid solids in our RV) Those pork chops look so good! Do you have any hints for choosing pork chops that will be tender? You are always entertaining and inspiring and we love you guys! Phil & Jackie

I want to take my big camera down this year and see if I can get some good pics. Your photos are incredible...great job on the eagle (I'd love to get that shot)! Your pics and videos just keep getting better and better! Thanks for sharing with us. Hope to see you down the road! Love y'all from SC, Jane ❤🙏🐾 (You got really close to the turkeys, too!)

    One of the days we are going to work on storing the bikes inside, but that does mean we would have to leave other things at home. I would also rather the bike be protected by being inside.

    We will have to stop there on out next trip to Florida. I do a lot of grilling outside and use the induction and a grill pan with ridges. Been looking for a cast iron pan that has a smooth bottom so as not to scratch the induction surface. As always really enjoyed the down home commentary and quality video.
