Discovering the FORGOTTEN Part of Florida

[@jld1636]

Best way to cook bacon...put it in a cold oven , then turn oven to 425, leave for 15 min. Done to perfection.

[@ladytrekkeradventures8376]

Our Florida is special in so many ways. And the merging of two rivers is called a confluence. The Rainbow is one of the best places to kayak. And the Withlacoochee has the look of old Florida. Glad you enjoyed the Sunshine State.

[@NarleyAdventures]

If it wasn't for the "Season" it would be perfect almost.

[@davenet60]

Take it from some that used to drive a truck for a living. Plugged tires are good to get you to a tire store, not to keep driving permanently if you have a heavy load on the tire.

[@perfectweather]

Florida is so much more than beaches and tourism. The FL ya’ll are getting to experience now is the Real Florida. So glad you’re exploring my awesome state! Hope you get to see the infamous monkeys in the Silver River. The tip is to get at least 2.5 miles down the river from the head spring. The monkeys have literally followed me down the river before from the shore because they could smell my lunch in my bag. There were at least 40 that I saw, it was really cool but also a little freaky.

[@jerrycallo]

The public beaches in Florida are fantastic.

[@vmcgriff]

I cook my bacon in the oven. Use a pan or cookie sheet with raised edges. Cover the pan with parchment paper and then cover the bacon with parchment paper. Comes out super crispy with no mess! 400 degrees 15 to 20 minutes. If your bacon is real thin - may take less. ❤

[@alaska-bornfloridaman]

Love the Cypress trees growing in the middle of the water.

[@garyhunter2872]

Another great video for all of us to enjoy. I especially love the drone shots. We love "Old Florida" and the best way to discover it is by traveling the backroads through all the little towns that have been bypassed by I-75 & I-95. "Y'all come back soon, you hear!"

[@victoriabroyles6467]

I'm always blown away by how good your videos are! Even better as you venture to new areas and make new friends

[@ursinidaho]

It's so cool that you have a much easier set up. And a heater. And AC at a hookup. Nice😊

[@Steve_Farwalker]

You guys have the nicest friends.

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

HI CODY & KELLIE 👋 GORGEOUS AREA 😉 COULD IT BE THAT THE SKILLET 🍳 HAS HIGHER SIDES & THE HEAT FROM THE SIDES MAKES IT RAISE 🤔 ON THE ENDS ? THE FISH WERE GORGEOUS WITH ALL THE COLORS ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 THE PIZZA 🍕 😋 LOOKED SOOOOOOOO GOOD ! THANK YOU 🙏 GOD BLESS YOU BOTH ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏

[@Live2dayWanderland]

We lived in Ocala for 23yrs, I honestly do not miss it. Definitely some clear waters and old florida life down that way

[@musicmarlene]

Fun to see how to crab….lived in Oregon, never did this. However, picked a lot of blackberries, aka, Marion babies for pies, etc, all those years

[@danielledrake9000]

We go to Port St Joe every year. We stay at presnell’s campground and it’s right on the bay. Mexico Beach is just up the road and they also have bunches of campground. You won’t regret it!

[@jannapeters8506]

What a nice couple.

[@johndill9127]

Love Suwannee River Bend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only about 45 minutes from the house!!!!!!!

[@tomsergesketter5138]

It’s so cool that you’re meeting people who are familiar with the area. And you get to go out on their boat. Btw. We got a place at Lake Barkley Kentucky and we have a boat. 👍🤣

[@ericnunn8856]

Hope we get to take a boat ride in Kentucky soon 🤙

[@jerryslater5173]

I think you two are enjoying your camper

[@kathymabry4016]

We used to live in Miami when my husband was transferred there but, we've been through the Northern areas as well. Very nice but, I don't care for the gators. Glad to be back home in Texas but, I do miss living in Florida and going to the Keys.

[@o2bnov0307]

We’re y’all on the FL Panhandle? The gulf has all of the calm and clear water. On the pizza, I never knew that you could eat a bay leaf. I use them in spaghetti sauce, but always remove them before serving. It’s very relaxing enjoying your travels. Thank you.

[@lrparrish227]

What a wonderful place. Yall did a great job sharing your experience there.

[@maryjaneburgess489]

Love North Florida. The real Florida

[@sheld4491]

For the pizza you could try drizzling a balsamic glaze or some Mike’s Hot Honey on top after baking.

[@toddramsay977]

Old Town isn’t far from Williston, where you can find Devil’s Den Prehistoric Spring. It is underground sort of, you can swim in it. Great video, I love blueberry muffins!

[@cloverhills1369]

My favorite Cody word...holidaysieish😆

[@garyausher]

No See Ums are easy. Us beach campers bring a good fan to blow them away. Don't leave the windows open. They come right thru the screens. I'll be fishing the mighty Withlacoochee head waters in a few days.

[@terryshultz2344]

Loved the river bayou trip

[@stevenannett1739]

Yall need to check out Homosassa Such a great old town and it has a very cool nature park there ! Home of the (has to be) Oldest Hippo ,,,I first saw it when I was 8 years old and I'm now 61,,And your next door to Crystal River,,Tons of manatees

[@jessys9868]

Pizza should ALWAYS be messy! Looked wonderful.

[@reneeweiss238]

We were camping there just last weekend 😊 One of our most favorite places to go. We’ve been enjoying that lovely river for over 17 years now. Absolutely beautiful! ❤😊

[@mikekirk1513]

I made it to Florida in the early 70's from Toronto. The first night I was completely sunburnt. Later I actually lived in Key West for around 6 weeks. Worked on a shrimp boat for a couple of trips. I'd love to go back.

[@teresap.5991]

We went to key West on vacation right after hurricane Katrina and there was still piles and piles of garbage all over the sides of the streets on our way driving down there from the hurricane. But everything else was cleaned up really well

[@juliedavis3799]

The springs are my favorite! I spend hours and days and prefer them over the ocean

[@randybeeson3424]

You gotta have a screen room car camping In Florida. Gnats and skeeters can be rough. I'd add Ginnie Springs to my stop and camp. Kelly Hays didn't listen to that suggestion either.

[@BobRennierSEMO]

Canoed the length of the Suwannee and did drift scuba dive down the Rainbow many times. You’re experiencing my favorite part of Florida. Enjoy!

[@martina54492]

Yes !!!! That's my Florida 💜

[@kellibuck]

Im so close to you all! Also traveling through! We did silver springs first and it was amazing!

[@chelseajoyce3094]

I’ve cooked bacon multiple times in my RV and haven’t had any problems with the smell!

[@georgejackson7752]

Either Cody is turning into the fish 🐠🐟 whisperer or maybe there just coming in to get a look at the beautiful Kellie love your all's videos and thanks for taking us on your all's adventures much love from West Virginia see you all on the next one

[@jonsmith9892]

noseeum's are midge flies... there are many species of midge flies all over the world... usually found near or on water.... :)

[@davidleggitt4687]

Hey high rent lol, Florida is always cool but have you all ever thought about going to Alaska? We always enjoy your vids

[@kaylar.6150]

Lol I was so surprised you did a video here!

[@teresap.5991]

Great vlog y'all 😘💋

[@cricksandcroaks]

as a guy from louisiana i agree lol wouldnt have thought that was florida

[@richardbalding1101]

That looks like a great pizza. I never thought of those toppings. Really interesting seeing more of Florida.

[@maryhight6030]

Old Town is awesome. The springs are great. The No-Seums are a pain. That's life in Florida 🤣

[@natecanale7889]

U got to check out tomoka state park in volusia county, it's at the mouth of the tomoka river and it's great for fishing

[@MICHELEDART]

Yes we need that pizza recipe. Those no see ums are killer. I been to Florida and there are zillion of them.. your fishing trip looked so fun

[@christielampert4364]

Cape San Blas! Absolutely the best beach I have ever been to & I was raised in FL. Indian Pass is not as pretty or clear as the Cape which is just a few miles away & bugs aren’t as bad there either. Enjoy your time on the forgotten coast.

[@dinabutler5797]

Beautiful beach videos!

[@laraw9356]

Hey y'all! Always look forward to your videos! I'm so excited I ordered your cookbook after trying twice and was sold out, so yay third time was the charm! Love you guys and God bless you ❤️

[@terryshultz2344]

Same.. third time, finally got my order in.

[@TrimansWife]

We moved from Ocala to south Sumter county (Bushnell) because Ocala got too big. We live our old Florida living. I am a native and hubby is a Canadian transplant. We live camping at Rainbow River. Awesome kayaking!! Cold water in these rivers!

[@FloridaRaider]

nice production quality

[@leanneneuman2719]

Hi y'all! Thanks again for the take-along! It was great! Safe travels till next time🌞✌

[@tomsmith7592]

The Rainbow is lovely! If you get back to N. Central Fl. check out the Silver River (you may get to see the spider monkeys in the trees along the bank) and the Itchetucknee River. Two of the most stunningly beautiful rivers on the planet!!

[@nextupcamping]

Great video! We have to visit that area after seeing how beautiful it is. Not to be a “busy body” but y’all might want to have a tire shop out a proper patch on the inside of the tire. With that load, a plug could possibly let loose. Just a thought. Safe travels!

[@yvonnefernandez3344]

Y'all did not go out on the river in Old Town. You would have been on the Suwannee River. Y'all had to have been down in Dunnellon. And that's where the Blue Gator Restaurant is.

[@ovrlndr]

Victoria Secret Amber Romance for the No-See-Ums! There’s also an olive oil hair sheen you can buy (like green can) that you can use as spray that works as well.

[@timray1827]

Looks like you guy's are running up the gulf coast on hwy 19 .it is beautiful up that way .

[@wcarlhepker4806]

Before my wife passed away, I used to cook bacon inside the camper when it was cold or rainy outside without hesitation. What used to drive us bonkers was cutting raw Vidalia onions inside other than at the stove with the fan on. The onions bothered me more than it did her!

[@corinahanlon8128]

Pizza looks delicious! Is it in the cookbook?

[@78twood]

Lol I lived a mile from the Withlacootchie river when I was 16. Me, my sister and a friend used to go down to the river, get in and wash our hair. So one of those times we were in the river casually washing our hair when one of us looked about 10 feet from us was a GATOR just cruising along 😂 You’ve never seen teenagers get out of a body of water SO FAST !! Needless to say that ended our trips into the river lol. Also after I was married we went camping at Rainbow River and floated down it In inner tubes. It was summer so the water was perfect! Great place to camp and I loved being able to see what was in the water 😆 Y’all brought me back to my younger days… like the 70’s 😊

[@lindalrb3864]

There is an alligator call. Really works

[@CodyandKellie]

Really! We were just joking at the time but did not know this

[@lindalrb3864]

Yeppers there is lol. Sounded almost like it too.

[@outandaboutrving9913]

Keep it up. You guys are awesome!

[@dinabutler5797]

We need the Harvest Pizza recipe please!

[@veeemit9719]

Muffins…A-MAZING! I never heard of no see ums until today, but yours is the second vlog I’ve watched that mentioned them🙂

[@faithrada]

No-seeums really suck. The mesh needed to keep them out is REALLY tiny.

[@amywest9642]

Good job Cody for catching the 🐟 🐠 🎣

[@kingbingentertainment9628]

In Columbus Junction Iowa, a product was invented nearly 20 years ago called “Bug Soother”. It works amazing on gnats! It’s a little pump spray and smells like bubble gum. You will experience no gnats with this on. Not sure if it will work on the bugs you are talking about. Before Bug Soother, we used to roll Absorbine Jr on our skin, works just as good but smells mediciny.

[@toddramsay977]

Pizza is missing spicy chorizo or hot Johnsonville sausage or Try some green chilies. My fave is the classic Hawaiian with bacon added.

[@assadullahasghari691]

Beautiful! The beach camping location please?

[@CodyandKellie]

Indian Pass General Store [phone] maps.app.goo.gl/9Shcogy9xzMjUCRb7?g_st=ic

[@KaltrinaDemiri]

Mmm the pizza made me so hungry lol xD I actually have a pizza in the oven baking right now as I watch this lol

[@jimsahagian5619]

Were you guys at the suwannee river bend rv park?

[@CodyandKellie]

We did

[@normasutherland8476]

You could try doing the bacon in the microwave to save the smell from saturating the camper.

[@2468bone]

Go to Homosassa's area too , you can swim with Manatee's and see Monkey Island , but it was under construction , maybe they will be finished and monkeys are back ? losts of restaurants too !

[@smokinggar714]

Hey AP have you ever used tumeric when ever you use cumin it's a spice

[@tanyars3399]

Have you ever considered investing in a screen tent so you can be outside and not be pestered by flies?

[@markcallan8268]

citronella oil it will chase off no see ems

[@mildredsantos7445]

Kellie could smile once a while. Wao !!!

[@CodyandKellie]

This is real life. I’m not gonna change who I am.

[@haroldbrettkeepontruckin3890]

So I think everyone wants to know how the bacon smell was in y'all's camper did it get in bed linen

[@CodyandKellie]

We were surprised. No issues.

[@faithrada]

Just a comment about safety around Florida lakes, ponds, rivers... and swamps. Another KZbinr went exploring around Old Florida in his kiak.. oblivious to how dangerous and wide spread Alligators are. They are not to be taken lightly. The threat is real. Please remain cautious. PS: Yup the catch with almost all Florida / East Coast beaches is The Parking! Beach access is a nightmare.

[@vikingbladeworksllc7747]

Please please please stop telling everyone about the Forgotten Coast. We like it this way. 😂

[@oaxacachaka]

Think you’ll even end up living on a boat?

[@truckcampinglife]

Just so you know I licked one of those muffins so it's mine..lol I call them flying teeth.

[@exploringcoasttocoast0203]

No see ums are. The. Worst. Hey..are those lazy susan plates? They seem to turn so easily.

[@tamelataylor7384]

There isn't a forgotten part of Florida. Perhaps for people from Arkansas, but we Floridians know our state.

[@wildwally9]

I love this area of Florida you're exploring now.....the real Florida! Hope you made it to Cedar Key. There's so much to explore headed back west along the coast towards Pensacola. Wakulla Springs and St Mark's National Wildlife Refuge are some of my favorite places. Ochlockonee River State Park is another favorite and you may see the white piebald deer and white squirrels there. I'm happy you're enjoying my home state as much as I enjoyed Arkansas when I visited it. Have you discovered the Florida National Scenic Trail? Google it for info or visit floridatrail.org
