🤿🐠 Biscayne: 95% Underwater National Park! | 51 Parks with the Newstates

[@melaniepeck582]

Thank you for your videos. We had a 2013 Winnebago View that we sold last year due to my husband having several hospitalizations and continued health problems. He is doing pretty well, but our goal to get in the motor home and travel the US with our dogs will not happen. Our last Newfoundland died of old age January 2022 and he just can’t do it anymore. However we can travel with you two. We enjoy your videos SO MUCH. Thank you!

[@airstreamer]

So happy you’re doing this tour and the National Parks are treating you well! 😁

[@ngrish74]

You guys are phenomenal...

[@lorraineanderson149]

I love the way you split up so you can so us more at this NP. Wonderful footage and information. Thanks for sharing!!

[@tarac5137]

Thanks for the incentive to get out about in FL more! The series is off to a great start.

[@kayleebeare]

Stumbled upon your video while planning my visit to Biscayne in December. Let me just say, WOW! You have gained a new follower and I am about to binge all of your videos!! I loved how yall included the interviews with the rangers. So informative. Thank you so much!!!!

[@DDL-n2u]

So happy for you two! Love the new rig, and as always the storytelling is fantastic. Protect our reefs humans!

[@hecz250]

Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate the insightful interviews with park curators. I often get amoxicillin for chronic bronchitis so it's kinda cool to learn that this creature, that doesn't resemble people at all, can also benefit from the same treatment. Also, y'all clearly made it a point to gather footage of what you're talking about and I appreciate that extra show and tell. Looking forward to checking out your videos for my next park!

[@cosmostopper]

Can't wait for this year to unfold for you two and to see everywhere that you go. Good luck always and have a great time on your journey through America and your travels through all the Parks. Wow, what a goal for the year. Love seeing you always.

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

This series is already my favorite! Really reminds me of how much I appreciate our rangers, naturalists & volunteers! Jim & I just split up for a boat tour in the Okefenokee Swamp - same tour, same captain, but totally different experiences. So yeah!

[@heiz1962]

Looking forward to each episode in this series 😊

[@sandrap3047]

I love this series! You're the only RVers that I've ever heard of doing this. Great idea!

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks so much, Sandra! ♥️ We love the National Parks, so this is a dream come true route for us this year! 👍 -Howard

[@MoabGal]

I love the NPS and visit often. Can't wait to see this entire series but I hope that you don't get burnt out driving all those miles to get to each one of them. Good luck!!

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks, Maria! We are slowing way down once we get out west, and most of our travel days are only a couple hours between parks. Getting burned out is a concern with a route like this, but we'll try our best to avoid it! 👍 -Howard

[@shannonalward217]

What a cool park! Looks like there is so much to do. So awesome!

[@mikegupguthrie-futurenomad7866]

Sorry the weather curtailed any additional adventures for, however still an excellent video and thank you for sharing NP #2 with us. As always, stay safe out there…..

[@johneason6540]

Fun park. Thanks 🎉

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks, John! 👍 -Howard

[@sivayamsiva9343]

Very beautiful places, really enjoyable thanks for sharing 👌

[@WanderingWagners]

Beautiful scenery! I had no idea it was 95% water and loved the information. Next time i see a lighthouse i'm going to think it's time to party LOL

[@dsanford12]

Really enjoyed this one especially the underwater footage thank you so much !

[@NewstateNomads]

You're so welcome! The underwater world really is amazing!

[@jstaff1152]

We ran into weather issues at Biscayne last week as well. Gail force winds and pouring rain drove us back for shelter as we walked the board walk. All tours were canceled that day.

[@NewstateNomads]

We've heard that about Biscayne (and Dry Tortugas) in the winter! Particularly for snorkeling, late spring and summer are best, but that would have been almost impossible for our route with all the parks this year. Thanks for watching and glad you're along for the journey! 👍 -Howard

[@365sol.travel]

Another great park to visit. Thanks for the wonderful information about the parks in our own backyard.

[@NewstateNomads]

You're so welcome!! Thanks for watching ☺️

[@BigTymer0007]

Super cool id never heard of this place!

[@kevinstrahle9687]

Looks like a nice park to bad the weather didn't cooperate with you but that nature.

[@pglen6042]

Sorry the weather curtailed your activities. Thank you for showing us an unusual 'park' and all that's offered there.

[@NoOverhead]

Welcome to the best time to be in Florida!!

[@missriggy]

Where did you stay? Did I miss that part? Thanks for the help!!!

[@ladikmk]

If it’s turquoise water, I’m all in. :) Biscayne is a beautiful park and a great place to learn about the importance of the mangroves, to prevent erosion and provide hurricane protection, and a baby fish and lobster nursery. I’m sorry you only had a few minutes in the water because it’s so incredible to see all that infant marine life up close. Key Largo (a little further South) was where I obtained my scuba certification, so all of the Keys from the top to the very bottom are near and dear to my heart. Thanks for sharing & enjoy the Keys!

[@NewstateNomads]

Same! I'll take any chance I can to get in the water. That is so cool! It's the perfect place for that. I definitely wish we had more time out there. I was loving it!

[@b1mfua33]

The tiny baby fish were so cute!! Sorry it was cut short for you. So beautiful though.The weather sure changes fast there. Thank you for this beautiful video. Stay safe,big hugs for the puppies.❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@lindsayslivealittle]

We need a lighthouse to signify we are having a party. Problem is it may be be on most nights!

[@davemaurer9709]

Another cool experience!!! I wish the weather was more cooperative 😊

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks, Dave! Weather won't always cooperate, but you can still have a great time! 👍 -Howard

[@davemaurer9709]

@@NewstateNomads You betcha!!!

[@Thesaltymedic36]

That guy knew how to party 😂

[@NewstateNomads]

Yes he did! 🤣

[@normaterrazas8983]

Hi, thanks for the video! How are you liking the new rv? How our you dogs doing, do they like your new rv? Take care❤

[@NewstateNomads]

You're welcome Norma! We love having all the extra space in the new RV. It's so nice! And the dogs especially love it!! They have so many places to nap now haha

[@karppadiem7014]

I wish time allowed for you to spend a week in each park. Of course, you'd need to teleport to the next one then. 🤔 Thanks for sharing this very unique park. 💞🎉 -Troy & Aimee

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks, Troy & Aimee! Good news, we DO have full weeks planned at many of the western parks. Get your popcorn ready! 👍🍿 -Howard

[@sandymajors9771]

11 min! Gosh! love you guys, but we need longer videos🙂

[@NewstateNomads]

If only the weather had been better! 😉

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

Sorry your trip got cut short! You made the best of it. We enjoyed our day out in Biscayne. How are you dealing with the NP rules of not being able to “film” in the NPs? We keep hearing they are cracking down.

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks so much! We were glad we still got out on the water, even if for a little while. It really is beautiful there! Just to clarify, filming is allowed WITH a permit. We apply for permits with every National Park (hello spreadsheets!) and so far it has been a pretty straightforward process. Some parks have even responded with "no permit is necessary for your planned activity" and told us to enjoy the parks! Each NP has different lead times and application fees, but we've found that if you can provide as much detail to them as possible, it helps a lot!

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

@@NewstateNomads good to know! Thanks for sharing

[@pixelsimage]

Really enjoyed your video. I am hoping you can do a separate video on your process to get a filming permit for this location. Loved the content but a video of our experience is not something we can easily share anymore without following the rules imposed by the National Parks. 😞

[@bayardocaldera]

Welcome to Florida

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you! 🌴

[@placesonthelist]

We did the history tour last December. We had much better weather.

[@NewstateNomads]

So glad you had good weather for it! It was wild how quickly it turned but still happy we got to see what we did ☺️ we're sure this won't be the last time this year weather impacts a visit haha
