Thank you Oma! Glad spring is making its appearance for you.
Loved it. While I am still on my Breezer gravel bike, Pam is on her e-bike and we have spent hundreds of hours together on bike paths. Lectric is HIGHLY recommended by numerous independent sites. Bien viajes.

Wow, didn't realize y'all were in my backyard. I've done so much tent camping in Ft DeSoto, and wonderful state parks. My favorite is Oscar Scherer, especially if I can get a spot right on the river. Thanks for sharing about Ft DeSoto. Sad how hard it is to get reservations. Oh, another great park is JB Starkey up in Pasco. But you probably knew that. Love your vlogs!
I've missed you two! Just saw that this was uploaded. Yes, I know that I'm a month late in watching it. :-) Looking forward to catching up on your more recent videos
Yes many fond memories camping at Ft. DeSoto.! 💖🙏✌
Hey. Glad you’re back but don’t worry, you don’t have to be here every minute of every day. Keep up the good work.

OMG, great job Dennis in dealing with the “water leak”, that’s crazy, and I’m sure you can laugh about it now. Your shared experiences of real life are absolutely priceless. I love your videos and content/stories of all the places you’ve stayed, and educational info on the area inn a bonus. I started following you on your adventures to Mexico and love your fearless energy and willingness to share. Haven’t gotten an RV yet, currently trying to learn all we can from amazing people like you prior to jumping in. In the ordering process for aN LTV. Keep up your great work, and focus on your happiness, and less on pressure for content. I’ve marked so many of your visited places on my Google Maps to visit in the not too distant future.

Welcome back! Delightful, reminds me of my youth camping with family along the Wisconsin River, Florida edition. I’ve been to Fort DeSoto for kayaking, but have not been organized enough to plan for camping (yet). Egmont is a great place to visit! 🌊

You didn't say this was a recommendation to visit those places. You just listed locations. No context. Maybe say, if you liked this check out these. Haha

@@EatSeeRV Submitted before I completed recommendations sorry 😞. Another place that we fell in love with is just across the border is in St. Mary’s Georgia and the campground is full hook up and family owned. Hey Siri wheel Campground in Georgia 6031 Charlie Smiths sr hwy. 31558. It is just down the road from crooked River State Park, but unfortunately we couldn’t get a reservation there however we can’t there before and we like this one better more private. great hole in the wall neighborhood restaurant nearby called ship to shore. Great scallops, fried pickles, clams, etc. huge portions.
I have never heard of this park, I will definitely have to put it on my must visit list. 👍

That place looked pretty awesome to camp. The crowds looked off the chain. Also the 7 month wait was crazy. So……”Break a way” pipes….if they are all being fatigued and they are fatigued at the same rate…….Dennis was probably worried/scared to hook up the water at the other sites…..one pipe busted…..the others are just waiting. 😀. Looked you guys had fun.

Hi guys. Great video in capturing the moments. Did not notice a huge difference in the editing of the video. Which is a good thing as it keeps the video in your “voice”. If it frees up time all the better. Safe Travels. Cheers!

No gaters in salt water, only in brackish (mix of salt and river) water. I've never seen a gator in that area in my 30+ years of living by that park. Other areas they can be abundant.
