DON'T FORGET: Florida's Forgotten Coast.

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Have you ever been to The Forgotten Coast of Florida. If so where did you stay and what dis you think?

[@NoSticksNoBricks]

We also use the bed to store stuff on travel days. We've never been to the forgotten coast, we need to check it out. Love coastal towns. Jen

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Such a great area. to visit. Yes the bed to store stuff on travel days seems to be a safe place.

[@rayfoor51]

Great video, that area is close to us… I’ll be hosting at a state park in Cape San Blas this fall.

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Awesome....the State of Florida state parks along the panhandle are pretty amazing! Thanks for the compliment and watching/commenting!!

[@thereel850]

We really enjoy that area. They’ve done a great job rebuilding Mexico Beach

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Such a cool area and not far from you guys of course. Just has such an “old Florida” feel.

[@thetravelingbrowns]

This one is added to our travel book. Always love to hear the history of these small towns.

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Very slow paced there...very old Florida like. Ws amazed about Dr Gorrie!!

[@Colleen1978]

Very interesting! Thanks for the great ideas!

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thanks....if you get there during the right time of the year, you would love it.

[@dandej5317]

Another great video. KZbin needs to get it's algorithm to start promoting your channel!

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thank you so much. I have said that the You Tube Algorithm is like the Wizard of Oz....it can be very mean at times. haha. I guess in some respect we are happy with it....Last year in March we hit 1000 subs after 2 years of producing videos...and just over a year later we are approaching 5K...but we have seen much faster growth in channels that focus on negative things...we just choose to be inspirational...we hope we come across that.way. Thanks again!

[@barbarapalmer268]

Thank you for the tour. I always enjoy your videos.

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

We've never been to Apalachicola- a very cute area. Oysters 🤮 😂. Port St Joe looks neat! Loved the aquarium- I could not have picked up that crab Pam 😆. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Such a great area. The oysters are awesome....its an acquired taste haha.

[@johnoboyle635]

What a wonderful episode…beautiful images, terrific suggestions and great storytelling, all things we can expect from a RoadSMITHS video! Thanks for making Saturday morning special for us😎. Now about this new “Ken”, Rodney Dangerfield is rolling over in his grave… FROM LAUGHING!!!😂 We promise not to forget about this episode but please make us a promise, when you go to Colorado this summer don’t eat the raw Rocky Mountain Oysters, they’re not what you think😳…😂🤣😂! We Love The RoadSMITHS! John & Caroline from The Grand Shamrock Tour☘️

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thanks John. and Caroline...you are too kind...but keep them coming....I don't mind blushing :-) Yeah..the jokes were pretty dry and maybe over done...I just after viewers finish the video that the bad jokes will be "Forgotten" BadaBumpcheesssshhhh. I have heard about those oysters...something about the texture turns me off. :-)

[@RetiredRoadTripping]

Great video…. We loved watching all the places we just visited and the ones we missed. Thanks for the shoutout!! It was a fun day!! Talk to ya soon, stay safe!!

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Such a great area.....you guys be safe as well!!

[@JamesSmith-iz8fl]

We spend every year around April in carabelle and yes we love all the forgotten coast 😊

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Such a great area. We did go to Carrabelle as well, just did not include that in the video. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@destinationfulltime]

Love that area of Florida.

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Such a great area. So laid back and old Florida feel.

[@AmpedtoGlamp]

Love your videos! 😊. What a great view of the water from the camp site! Going to check out the app. Thanks for all the info!

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thanks guys. Was a great site on clear days, a bad site during storming days haha. That app is very cool...we have found some very interesting things to do with it.

[@RVAmerica]

We love finding little towns like this to visit. I downloaded the app you were talking about. Hopefully, it will help us find many interesting places like this. 😁 Lynn and Danny

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

I was always wondering where Pam was finding these cool obscure things to see. I learned about this video as well. Haha

[@therealronaldmcronald]

Thanks for the tour of the Forgotten Coast. I'll pass on touching tanks/petting zoo but double down on fish sandwiches, tacos, $13 pitcher of beer complete with exit mints. Nice to see the community rebuilt. Thanks for the vid. -Ron

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Haha...very cool place and we only "touched " the things to do and see at the salt water petting zoo. They had an exhit of creatures that were embalmed/pickled from very very deep ocean depths and they looked alien like. It was very dark in the exhibit so the video was grainy...but very cool...oh and the moray eels were freaky. Food in the area was good. Not Fish Peddler good...but the Oysters were amazing....had them 3 times.

[@kathyzehner9660]

You guys are so fun! I really enjoy your channel

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thank you so much...that means a lot!!

[@kenaicardi8453]

You guys do a great job on your videos…we are retiring in 4-5 months and will be planning several trips…we are taking note of the places you have been…thank you! 😊

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thank you so much. Thats exciting and we have loved this lifestyle since retiring. If you have any questions about where we have been...feel free to reach out...we would be more than happy to help!!

[@FittingInAdventure]

We love Atlas Obscura! Some of our favorite stops have been found on it.

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Very cool app. Makes this lifestyle even more interesting because there is something interesting to see in virtually area that we have stayed in. Hope you guys are well and are enjoying your beautiful Alliance.

[@FittingInAdventure]

@@TheRoadSMITHS We are loving it! See you at the rally?

[@sherriweber7105]

Glad you are doing this video of the forgotten coast in Florida. Nice I love lighthouses. That was great Pam you made it all the way to the top of the light house. Your fried food looked good. Thank you for taking me through the Florida’s Forgotten Coast. Hope you have a great weekend and Pam hope you have a great Mother’s Day! 🌷🌺🌸

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thanks Sherri...not sure if you are a mother...but Happy Mothers Day to you even if you are not.

[@robmcneill2967]

I'm just amazed (Rob) ...I really like shrimp & oysters so I'm thinking bucket list for sure. I have spent a lot of time in New Oeleans and feel in love with most sea food, had no idea the pan handle is the HQ for Oysters....from light houses to beaches to cycle paths I was amazed...I gotta write all this stuff down. Thank you so much for sharing...we really appreciate. We are playing catch up....we are busy working & building our HDT. Cheers yall & thanks 😊

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

As you head to Florida next time....take a little detour for a few days and check out the area. The state parks on the Panhande are awesome and much more affordable!!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Wow! What a great video guys! But we forgot where were you? 😂 The family Coastal Bar looked cool, especially the views. We love raw oysters 🦪 The value route makes sense for beer!! We call the mints- buttermints

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

I forget. ;-) Such a great area. They Oysters were awesome. Never heard the mints called that before.

[@belindamaloney-LibertyCall]

Loved this video! Thanks for the Atlas Obscura recommendation!! I can't wait to use it when we head west this fall!!

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Such a great app. It definitely makes it more interesting to see the little things in addition to the big things.Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@sherriweber7105]

Pam I like how you make nothing breaks or falls while on the road. Love hearing that the a Dr. John Gorrie invented the ice machine and refrigerator. That’s great yo know a part of history.

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Yes...we had no idea until Pam looked that up in that app. There is a whole back story and why he invested the ice making machine and it was not to keep food cold but the treat yellow fever since they thought at the time it was do to heat and placing ice in rooms would cook it down. So that misjudgment brought us the idea for refrigerant.

[@sherriweber7105]

@@TheRoadSMITHS Oh wow! Glad you found that out. That’s fascinating to know about that. Great idea they had for it. Sorry I got back with late on this. Love history on stuff like this. Thank you Ken and Pam.

[@horizon42q]

Family Coastal has the best whole belly clams and Crab Cakes. At Lynns we get the Oysters Rockefeller.

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Pam lovers her Fried Shrimp at FC....at Lynss we just had the raw oysters but I was tempted to get some fot he cooked varieties as well. Did you go to Paddys on St Geoge Island while you were there? It was good too...just more expensive then FC or Lynns.

[@horizon42q]

@@TheRoadSMITHS Yep, but we liked Mango Mikes. Better. They have a happy hour with better prices. It’s about a one block walk from the lighthouse.

Beautiful view from the top. Awww, blind turtle. Ken, did you remember to tip the wait staff? Ta bum tiss. - Michelle

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

That site was great on nice days and horrible on days with storms but was worth the tradeoff. Check out that app...makes this lifestyle even more amazing. And yes I tipped the waitstaff...I left them beer that we did not finish....did you see how much was in there? Ta bum tiss. :-)

[@cindylehman1016]

Do you have a airfrier? Res heats fried food better.

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Yes we do and you are right....that heats up fried food well. We actually cook all kinds of things in there...veggies etc. Thanks for watching and commenting!
