Crystal River, Florida: Manatee Festival and Three Sisters Spring

[@dongodwin2144]

One of the reasons I sold my fifth wheel and truck and bought a home in Ocala . We love the trips to see the manatees. January/February, definitely the best time.

[@catrashoo]

Mr Robert gracias por todos sus videos ,I'm from Virginia / Washington DC border, I love to travel around Florida ,your videos help me a lot ,thanks again.

[@TravelingRobert]

You're welcome. Bienvenido a FL

[@angelmission]

That spring really is beautiful!

[@vpr5562]

Robert, 3 days we are watching your videos, as i mention you are wonderful guide and the atmosphere you create - magnificent. Greetings from Bulgaria, Europe.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@VolcanoTimeLapse]

$64.00! WooHoo! Surprise.. Doh! The food always looks so yummy. You're Destin and Matlacha videos are tonight! ;) The water is so clear. Lovely. Well done Sir.

[@marianmarek7299]

We decided to go see the Manatees after watching this video today. We went to the Cracker Bar for a sandwich. The 3 Sisters Springs are amazing. There were a few manatees in the river since the weather became cool.

[@EatSleepRVRepeat]

When we kayak on Middle River in Wilton Manors in the Fall it's beautiful with manatees swimming next to & under us. It's also nice to see them drinking fresh water running from the hoses left open on docks from residents.

[@EatSleepRVRepeat]

However Middle River isn't nearly as clear as that beautiful spring!

[@1970boobear]

Good morning Robert! Thank you for yet another fabulous video. We love them all, but our favorites are w/out a doubt your FL RVing. Love those sweet sea cows & the pelicans that "Fly!!!!" lol... sure hope we can somehow see u in Oct '18 if you're able to make it to Ft. Myers, or Matlacha! 👍😎

[@drummergirl9481]

Wow that looked like fun...might have to put that on the bucket list!

[@TravelingRobert]

It is really cool. The Manatees only come when it is cold though.

[@genochob7]

Hi Robert, really liked this video. Thanks so much for all your hard work!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you, glad you liked it. I love doing this

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks for sharing. Love seeing those manatees. They are one of Stacie’s favorite animals. Such an interesting species!

[@almamorales4158]

Beautiful pleace. Very good video.

[@paulcmiller7634]

Thanks Robert, We really enjoy your videos. We have the same model camper and have learned a lot from you. Keep the videos coming.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Aaron Swanson Thank you and happy travels!

[@C-TOS]

Love the close to water and nature videos.

[@mandysimmons2769]

Frown Pelican Frown! LOL what would I do without my Daily Mr. Robert vid?

[@remylove9292]

Guinness is Good for You!!! Another nice film Robert

[@meredithwilliams4671]

That was amazing! I saw a mother manatee and her calf over in Ft. Pierce this past December but the water wasn't nearly as clear as this. :)

[@inkpearls3364]

I betchya it’s 60 degrees and everyone is bundled up 😂🤣 That’s tank top temps for Pennsylvania lol

[@inkpearls3364]

Ok he says 48 degrees... that’s still tank top weather hahaha

[@susanstrickland6774]

Fun time. Like going to see the manatees. Great video. 👍

[@davidboggs1908]

Do you have a video of Manatee springs state park in Chiefland? I think you would like it.

[@garycampbell8663]

Robert Crystal River area is beautiful, i would have been pissed if i got a camp site like you got but u maned up and made the best of it, good one Robert.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Gary Campbell Thanks!

[@gregkiser4928]

Been there many times, but have never been to the festival!! Great video!

[@jim-uu2db]

Love the Florida parks!

[@AMAETV]

So cool Robert! I just published my Crystal River video too and we stayed at Crystal Isles RV Park too! Looks like you encountered quite the party. We saw NO Manatee but it was still very beautiful 😄It's great to see the springs filled with Manatee here in your video- great work and happy travels!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you. The manatees only come into the spring when it is cold (for Florida anyways). I'm glad you liked the video and got to see the area...and didn't get an RV full of bird poop. Happy travels to you too!

[@AMAETV]

Yep, I thought I planned it well by visiting in late Feb, but it seems it was just too warm already. Oh well! The sunshine is always nice ☀️Bird poop, not so much.

[@lorrilewis2178]

The manatees are so cool.

[@philo2808]

65 bucks for lunch,OUCH. At least the pictures were gorgous and that looked like a great place to eat and watch boats go by.

[@philo2808]

Tangerine Sky333 he's always asking for people to donate to his patreon account and he's going on 80 dollar lunches. Go figure.

[@hunterboyce6487]

Hello Robert. I love in crystal river and was at that festival. We have many other festivals in that town. It's a good town

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes, we liked it there.

[@bnzimusa]

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@ericdustin4663]

Robert, I will take you kayaking next time you come to Crystal River.

[@nataliemiranda2470]

[@jerryhack5192]

It does my heart good to hear all of those Tom Petty covers!!! Great video Robert!!!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thanks!

[@debbiewerner7124]

[@EmAndtheGang]

Great tour! Your narration is fantastic! I don't know how to do voice over on my videos yet. I really yours.

[@janstess86]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, ROOBEERT..

[@TravelingRobert]

+Judy Anstess Thank you!

[@TheLemminkainen]

[@TheLemminkainen]

[@TheLemminkainen]

We have those -30c seasons too, thank god -20c has been max at this year. California rules! Cheers from Finland

[@TravelingRobert]

OK, in real time I'm near Flagstaff.... it will be in the 20's tonight

[@SocratesWS]

Hi Robert,thanks for sharing yet another great video with us here.A true ' titbit' as always.By the way,I recently became a subscriber to Rolling Earth Ship(Luis) and City Nomad(Jay) as well....I do not know about Jay but Luis you seem to know very well as I saw you guys (and Lidia) 'hobnobbing' in one of your recent videos.....Greetings from William in Bruges,Belgium,Europe

[@TravelingRobert]

+William Storm Cool thank you...I'm going to check out Jay

[@RonGay58]

A cold day in Florida is a warm day in Maine.

[@robedmunds7163]

Ha, 48deg, here in South Wales Uk, that would have everyone out in t shirt and shorts

[@DizTraveler]

Makes me want to revisit that area, minus the festival....😎

[@debbie1039]

This was wonderful to watch. Hi Robert, I'm a little confused with the ending credits. It say it was done on June 2018

[@TravelingRobert]

+Debbie Do Thank you. Oh well I screwed that up. It was January.

[@debbie1039]

LOL! I know it's not easy when you on the road. But I've been entertained with your videos since Friday. Thank you, Robert. Enjoy your trips :)

[@gardensofthegods]

You really do make great videos... very few people do when it comes to traveling... regretfully too many of them have their face up close and every shot and the whole video becomes all about them rather than how great it is to travel... some of the use really horrible music that's downright obnoxious , and they'll talk too fast and have the quick editing which is also irritating. It's really wonderful to find somebody who knows how to make great travel vids and can act like a decent human being... as well as a normal person.

[@franklogrande9126]

Back fro Arizona? That was quick.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Frank LoGrande It took me 5 days to come to AZ. This was actually in mid January

[@johnnyc4200]

Yes on your $64.00 bill the date was 1/18/2018. Man that food was high. How did that wi-fi work out Robert at the Library downloading free did you try it?

[@franklogrande9126]

Johnny C yeah I thought it was a little pricey too. $20 crab cake seems expensive too

[@eml-0404]

HI! @ 16:41 you show this video was filmed in Crystal River, FL June 12-14 2018. Was it supposed to be January 12-14 2018? I don't recall 40° temps ever in June.

[@TravelingRobert]

It was January

[@eml-0404]

@@TravelingRobert Job security for your editor, LOL! We're all human, that's what keeps it exciting. Safe & healthy travels to you!

[@earlcornett8214]

They definitely need to get better ENTERTAINMENT for the festival & in Florida bars.

[@khunopie9159]

"Hey Manatee, look at the pelican fly. Come on pelican! Fly Manatee Fly!" Famous Scarface quote

[@TravelingRobert]

:-)

[@jeannestark6293]

Hey Robert why don’t you do a tour of the Florida springs? There is Ocala national Forest of all the springs up there. Too many people up in the Northeast even out Wester not know about the Florida springs

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes, I have to do those at some point.

[@jeannestark6293]

Bring your own IPA and some serious Cuban coffee to sober up because FHP in the local share of deputies will check you out be careful. We love the springs but there’s not much in bar life up there I don’t think you’re gonna like it. We go up there to get away from all of that.closest thing to you to all that is Gainesville.don’t complain, you were warned! But the beauty is better than having all of that.

[@kevinsandells9933]

Another awesome video Robert. How much was a nite at the campground. Thanks for the video. Can't wait to get moved to Florida

[@TravelingRobert]

Way too much, like $70 after all the fees and taxes

[@rutdwin]

Tremendo 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@perecarl12]

We always said our mini was 21 feet to book a site.

[@LarryJohnson7]

I need to move to Florida. We have a foot of snow and -15. Here in Ontario

[@Kathieartcraftanddestash]

Wow, more festivals in Fla need to provide those free shuttles. I love going to the Manatee viewing. So are you snowbirding in Fla this year or just making a short visit? One of our neighbors just had one of those custom covers installed. It is super nice. We are thinking of getting one but have to put in a pad first.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Kathie's Thrifty Corner I've lived in Florida most of my life. I'm not a full time RVer yet, but when I do I can always spend a couple of months here every other year

[@Kathieartcraftanddestash]

Thank you. You always answer so fast. I love your channel.

[@TAPPChannel]

What month was that recorded?? I’ll be there today... any chance for manatees?

[@TravelingRobert]

This was in January. Winter is the best time to see Manatees because the come into the the relatively warmer water. It's been colder than average so I suppose there could be a good chancee

[@michaelrains2268]

Awesome video, congratulations on another sponsor on your channel!😊

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@MsDaisy-jc4si]

Love your vlogs, Robert. Did you make it all the way back from AZ that fast?!

[@TravelingRobert]

Nah, I'm still out here. This was the beginning of the trip, about three weeks ago

[@gardensofthegods]

Do people go swimming in the Crystal Spring in hot weather...? Does anyone know ?.. Also I was wondering if anybody knows if that little Lake where they were RVing has any Alligators. When were used to live in the Tampa Bay area , pretty much every little Lake near us had alligators.

[@TravelingRobert]

Every body of water in Florida can have alligators

[@gardensofthegods]

That's the one main thing that I was relieved to leave behind me when I moved from Florida... alligators. I can remember one that was about 7 ft long... it was fat and mean looking , blocking the front gates to a property not too far from where I lived one evening. And I just don't like having prehistoric monsters that can run a sprint anywhere near me .

[@grandmapatty1493]

Was that a new song I heard?

[@TravelingRobert]

Well, yes, new song for the new year, and the new trip to the west.

[@chronicawareness9986]

i herd manatees used to be hunted for their meat, even tov the point of almost extinction. but i also would love to try manatee and see how good they are.. am i fucked up?

Lousy music......

[@chrisvon4781]

Thumbs down, simply because of how many upsells this guy throws in your face every 2 min of video time. SERIOUSLY we had to stop watching due to the amount of added YT commercials and embedded local advertisements for cheap metal awnings. A nice video destroyed by trying to turn a profit. Cringeful 😬
