Fernandina Beach and Fort Clinch on Amelia Island, Florida - Fall 2017 Episode 8

To conclude my Fall 2017 road trip I arrive in Florida coming from Georgia. I stay at Fort Clinch State Park, on Amelia Island, near Fernandina Beach. The sunset and sunrise were amazing.

[@discoveringlockenest8420]

I’m tired of corona virus crap so I’m going back and watching some positive stuff by my friend! Thanks for sharing!

[@cherylyoung979]

Discovering LockeNest me too just sick of it. I'll be glad when they get a vaccine that works so we can go back to living our lives in a normal way.

[@fanchonjackson8515]

I’ve been watching you for about 5 years. My children and I hope one day to meet you. We literally sing your song every time we see an RV. 😂😂😂

[@dianekurley4963]

The beautiful ocean waves, the gorgeous sky, I love Florida. I am so happy you take us to all the places in Florida that I have never had the chance to visit. I always wanted to live in Florida but it never worked out. Thank goodness I can travel with you on KZbin.

[@cherylyoung979]

Diane Kurley well it's a nice warm place to vacation to in the winter at least

[@dianekurley4963]

Thanks so much for the encouragement. 🤗

[@seal7659]

I live on Amelia amazing place to be, thanks for showing this place out of all the places you could have chosen :) (Oh and also I hope you took in those huge magnificent oaks you see around town)

[@antoniocognato5023]

I love florida. Post more florida!

[@MrsMcCracken]

I am proud to say I live in Yulee Florida, the gateway to Amelia Island!

[@lovingatlanta]

🤣😂🤣@36:15 “that was neither a person or a chair” you crack me up 🤣😂🤣

[@FrolicsAndFinds]

I had to swipe back to laugh again and again ... he cracks me up too! I’m cry laughing .

[@johnmorris8574]

My wife and I really appreciate all the work and your videos you make. You are now our favorite rv channel.

[@katherinehayes9110]

My husband and I stayed at Fernadina Beach September of 2016.We dined at the Salty Pelican with a couple from Yulee we met at the beach.We really had a great time on this vacation It is a beautiful beach with lots to see and do.We visited St Augustine too another beautiful historic place to see!!

[@marthagrinnan6155]

You’re in my favorite part of Florida.... Jacksonville, my hometown... North to Georgia and South to St. Augustine....along A1A through Ponte Vedra. Love this state because it’s the best!! Thank you! 🌞🐚🏄‍♀️🥇🐊💖

[@NorthFletcherMike]

Traveling Robert - loved the video. Very in depth. First I've seen of your videos. I was watching another Fernandina video and yours popped up afterwards. Around 32 minute mark you go to our city park where you can launch kayaks. I said that might be my truck as me and my boy go there often. My boy comes over and says that's you kayaking Dad! And so it was my truck, me kayaking, and you can just barely see my boy running on the dock. Small world! We'll be checking out more of your videos. Thanks

[@josephrobichaud5198]

I've stayed at that marina you showed on a 35" sail boat I was taking from Gwynn's Island VA to Titusville FL. Lots of really old bars in town filled with the interesting locals. I've also stayed in that Hampton Inn and got luckily enough to get room with a view of the marina, So I could watch the sunset right from my room.

[@Mad1Mike]

We did a road trip (no RV, just a rental SUV) from Annapolis to our home in Pompano just last October. Did A1A as much as we could. That campsite at Ft Clinch is the reason we are going to the RV show next week in Palm Beach. The other campground I guess ocean side had no shade at all, but it is a great place, Amelia Island. Love your videos! ....I woke up the other night with a song in my head, a bit of fuzz, and some horns. I was like, Oh! That's Roberts!

[@timothystockman7533]

Back in the 1960s when my family used to camp at Ft Clinch, there was a back way in/out, which got you out of the park sooner, but it was still a drive to town. Now that road says: dead end and you will come to a locked gate at the park boundary which keeps you from getting on to the highway. (I see you found it!) We camped at Ft Clinch multiple times, mostly in the river campground, but once in the ocean campground. They used to come through with a truck every evening which fogged the area with insecticide to keep the bugs at bay.

[@RoseOriginals]

We were fortunate to be camping there when they still had ranger guided tours around 2007, and my son even got to dress like a soldier of the time. We had a great time at that campground.

[@debbiewerner7124]

Fantastic tour of the fort. ❤

[@Brandon84J]

So, the more I watch the video, I notice you mention Georgia is visible. Cumberland Island is just North of Amelia Island. I was lucky enough to get to go to Cumberland Island to work, when I was doing stucco. It is mostly uninhabited, except for an old hotel, and the Rockefellers own a few homes. There are wild horses, and the ocean side of the island is one of the most beautiful places I've ever had the privilege of seeing. I wish more could see it, but also glad it's off limits to the general public. Absolutely beautiful on Cumberland Island. One more thing, the green house you saw with the turret room, that you said looked funky, is the house they shot Pippi Longstocking in

[@Brandon84J]

@catmodelt Yeah, I was super lucky to be able to go work over there. I believe the last hurricane that destroyed the docks is what made them stop taking tours. I actually live in Yulee

[@hyflyin1]

Once again - your videos are incredible !!! You deserve a series on Travel Channel - Netflix, or Amazon Prime !! The camera work and narration is top-notch - so I will thank you once again !!

[@lovlov5395]

All parts are perfect(music, video, voice ....).

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@coachnickmoney]

Very well done, as always. Fantastic Robert!

[@TravelingRobert]

+Nick Cavallo, Esq. Thank you!

[@jolkandelarosa4914]

Love the travel videos señor! Definitely one of the most informative and inspiring channel I watch ! Keep up the great work 💪🏼

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you so much :-)

[@roberttafoya1379]

Traveling Robert good deal

[@C-TOS]

Flo...ridah! Man I love it!

[@lindajohnson4204]

Coquina was quarried to build, but they made sort of a man-made coquina by burning oyster shells for lime, then combining it and sand and more shells, similar to the way we combine Portland cement and aggregate to make concrete. This is called tabby, just ike the cat, and there is a lot of it in the coastal southeast.

[@philzail2532]

I didn't see the paper mill when I was there. But I sure smelled it!

[@dannywhitlock8309]

Hi,Robert 👋🏻 Awesome traveling adventure, beautiful scenery and I enjoyed your tour of the Fort very nice it’s been over 20 years since I vacationed in St.Augustine and I’ve never been to the Amelia Islands nice little town and the campground. I was hoping you could have flown the Mavic. Thanks for sharing, enjoy your Monday !!!!! Danny

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you Danny

[@Chris-gl2dk]

Its amazing the things you do in life has such an inpact on others. Keep up the good work. Your such an intainer. Your voice and videos are perfect. Again, good job👍🙂

[@Chris-gl2dk]

Thanks Rob👍

[@DizTraveler]

Woo hoo another video -- the closing, "The End" was a neat touch! Hope your enjoying your travels out west !!

[@robertomartinez6520]

Amazing, gracias Robert por darnos sus relaxing videos.

[@TravelingRobert]

No hay de que. Que bueno que le gusten

[@susanstrickland6774]

Thats one of the nicest st parks, IMO; but you are right, drive in is pretty long. Love the small main st towns., beautiful. You definitely caught excellent sunrises, and sunsets 😊 Excellent video. TY. 👍

[@talldude5841]

Haha Robert. I recently asked you to do a video of this place, and you already did. Another very enjoying one as well. Your sound track fits everything so well.

[@remylove9292]

The ending was epic, just epic. All I can say is WOW ...

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you

[@lastshallbefirst5516]

Another masterpiece...while it's 0 degrees up here in Illinois, I'm always motivated by these videos

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you. Glad to motivate :-)

[@lovingatlanta]

👍Nice video & commentary. It’s nice to get a different POV on places I’ve visited & enjoyed. 💞

[@tiffanybenson814]

Stunning sunset and sunrise, just Beautiful!

[@noreenalbright2245]

It looks like the guy in front of me knows what he's doing. lol. It's very hot, it's very hot and humid and there's mosquitos. Welcome to Florida! lol #FLLifeBaby. I love how you mentioned the clouds and lighting. The Salty Pelican is so delicious.

[@kendclife7913]

Thanks for sharing, Robert. I am from Jacksonville (but now living in Virginia), and I have stayed at LIttle Talbot Island state camground with my RV, which is only minutes away from Fort Clinch. I tried to go to Fort Clinch once, but I never could find the entrance to the campground. BTW, I used to have a small travel trailer, but I now have a Class B, and I enjoy being able to park in small historic towns like St. Augustine and take a walk around and have lunch... that's the added joy of Class B living :-)

[@abbieburke2945]

I’m going there tomorrow my family goes there a lot I love it my favorite part is going in the big waves

[@BIGBIRD75]

Hey Robert another great adventure listen thanks for working so hard to bring us these videos lots of love from Pocatello Idaho

[@thegoombas2216]

Love the videos and music you put to them. Thanks for sharing. My husband and I just began watching your videos just recently. We took your advice when we stayed in Marathon about the restaurants and looking forward to more vacations in our microlite.

[@CampingcarTravel]

Always a pleasure to discover new places with you.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@SocratesWS]

Howdy Robert,thanks a lot for sharing another very informative and entertaining video here.Highly appreciated as always coming from you.Greetings from William in Bruges,Belgium,Europe

Beautiful clouds. We will now have to make the trip east.

[@sarahl6499]

Terrific! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!!

[@tempestorum]

the houses on ocean avenue used to be the second block up, the original beachfront houses were wiped out in a hurricane

[@beachlifechris]

Another Great Video!!! Always puts me in a good mood:)

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@rosyp3464]

[@doublelsaquatics9152]

Great video as usual!! Please keep them coming! Your videos always get us through the winter and excited for next rv season in the spring!

[@Brandon84J]

It's funny watching someone drive through my home town. I haven't lived there in almost a decade, but I'm moving back to Fernandina in a month! =D

[@teaguejelinek4038]

Hit up some Moon River, bro

[@craigstrom3316]

[@mauricepowers3804]

I used to live in walking distance from the Kari brew restaurant. Their shrimp and grits are absolutely wonderful as well as they're vegan hamburger!!

[@mr_jake.y8348]

I like the new truck.

[@stevewang3784]

Amazing clouds, beautiful sunset, great video

[@lovingatlanta]

👍Lovely sunset 😍

[@signswork]

Great video, I really liked seeing the Old Fort. I'd just like to say to the people watching these kinds of video's, take the time to give these people a LIKE. Have a Blessed Life!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you! I really liked this area.

[@angelaeaglesbeauty3892]

So relaxing! Thank you for sharing!

[@alexjunotpantoja9777]

Wow, what a great video!!! So enjoying. Thank you Robert!!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@cherylyoung979]

I'm tired of CoVid also. Thanks Robert love your channel at least we can watch and plan.. I'm going to Ireland next out of country. Loved your England and France videos. You really did your homework, great information. I find it amazing you can pronounce all the foreign names as you travel. You would have made a good Linguistic specialist. Languages are so hard.

[@bsoutdooradventures9541]

Thank you for video....Going to Fort Clinch next year...preview is so cool!!

[@mortimermeanders8912]

Another fine job Robert.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you

[@VolcanoTimeLapse]

I've been subscribed to you for four years! I'm still hooked! lol.. Great video.

[@ladyjay6741]

Hey Robert..this might be a long message but here goes. My kids bought me a big HDTV and I bought a "ROKU" to attach to it. I can watch KZbin on my big TV, It Is Magnificent!!! It's like a BIG "WOW"..Your Videos are like watching a Movie..No Better! Thank you so much. I am going to go back and Watch as many of your videos as I can on my new setup.Thanks again friend. Happy Trails ;-)

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you so much. Glad you lie them :-)

[@UncaDave]

Looks like a good place to stop. Lots to see and do or just relax. Thanks. My RV is about the same size as yours (21.5') where you go, I can go and I like the compactness of this size. Great exploring at the fort too!

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes, it is a very relaxing town. Maybe I'll revisit in warmer weather

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

great video Robert. i was at Fort Clinch last April, same campground. and i'll be on Amelia island to walk town in 2 day, 12/19.

[@kennethblackwell1137]

This area is maybe my favorite place in FL. We've got to go again....!! One neat memory was viewing a nuclear sub slipping down the river and out to sea....from the top of the Fort Clinch wall. Enjoy your videos. We are long time RVers...just got a 2106FBS Micro Minnie....loving it.

[@TravelingRobert]

I loved the area too. It almost like a little bit of Georgia in Florida, I don't know. Very laid back nice vibe I got. Glad you like your Micro Minnie

[@jeffreyhoffman760]

Best one Robert. No reason to leave Florida

[@nhala04]

Thanks again, Robert. Always very informative and beautiful videos!!

[@TravelingRobert]

You're welcome

[@suzyq3746]

Excellent. I hope 2018 is a most beautiful year for you. Thanks for the hard work you put in to your channel.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you. Happy new year!

[@glennmschroeder]

i stayed in park for a week tenting 2011 and the racoons are crazy but a great place.keep up the good travels

[@travelingwithrick]

Hi Robert, last month i went to Little Talbot State park. Its like Fort Clinch SP, but more remote less crowded and no touristy areas. If you like nature, no development, natural sand dunes this is the place for you. Cool walking and bike trails. Down the road is the confluence of the St. John's river and the Atlantic. Right there is Mayport NAS. Amazing place a must see.

[@khunopie9159]

Great video Rob! The rock opera, "Riding In My RV" was delivered with a bit more gusto and bon vivant this time!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@marcoscustodio6255]

Great trip. Thank you for sharing. A big hug.

[@andreatuckman1084]

And another great trip comes to a close. You passed my exit on this one, Robert. Small world.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you :-) Small world indeed

[@jukeman57]

Good trip. Thanks Robert.

[@EatSleepRVRepeat]

I'll choose the Scenic route all the time too!

[@brucecatlin4036]

Robert, you drove the wrong way @ the fort parking lot. Then again @ campground! Motel 6 for you. Bob left the light on for you.

[@johncaban4310]

Thanks for the video. Going down to Amelia Island/St. Augustine in March from Massachusetts and the video was very informative!

[@hollywarehouse7938]

I grew up here, this is is truly an amazing place to to be❤️ 17 years of this amazing place to be. What a blessing ☺️

[@philo2808]

Man that was one long vid, thanx Robert.

[@venessalee2426]

Coming back to Miami made me feel depressed. My family and I are actually thinking of moving out of here and go to the Fernandina Beach area. Much slower pace of life and friendlier people.

[@seamist4myrv848]

I love the sea especially stormy sea 🌊

[@ilm4acc]

Not the keys but wow NE Florida is Beautiful and hidden gems!!! Great vlog. Merry Christmas to.your whole family ( early ).

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you! Yes I was pleasantly surprised.

[@kennethrohr7765]

Another great one Robert! As far as the sensors go, forget about it! I have the same problem in my Jayco 154bh. I have learned how long it takes to fill the tanks and never even look at the sensor panel anymore! Even after cleaning out he tanks they will work right for one day. Just enjoy your trips (as we do) life is to short to worry about things like that.

[@johnbutler2231]

kenneth rohr Great advice, thanks.

[@delight48fe]

hello.thank u for taking me on the ride throu florida...and using ur flying thing with camera,,i am thinking of getting me..i ve been wanting to move back to florida by fall 2018. wish someone would do a video on the cheapr ways to live down there. thank u

[@robertloken8212]

Another Florida trip I have to make

[@PSAdventures]

We very much enjoyed our visit to Amelia Island as well. Watch out for the protected gopher tortoises in Amelia Island. They are beautiful, but slow so they need protecting. But don't place them in the water! They can't swim...

[@MonsterTankiMan711]

That the same border I went across on the way to Florida:)

[@almamorales4158]

Fort Clinch is a very interesting place..

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes it is

[@tempestorum]

oh, but you can drive right up to the gate where the lighthouse is, and essentially be in its yard

[@runnin_a_muck5207]

I live there and I love it

[@TravelingRobert]

Nice town
