I wish that I had known about these caves when I hiked this area with my young sons (now in their fifties). Thanks for sharing.

[@BrewDub73]

Cool video, man! Thanks for showing us another cool place! Stay hydrated, it’s nasty out here

Hi Florida Trailblazer you're the second person this week to do a video in Jeeps Cave. I watched Tampa Jay's exploring this too. He pointed out the dates carved in the stone in the cave entrance which you're probably aware of. History no telling how long before the earliest date that this caves been used.Thanks for another great video.

[@FLtrailblazer]

That’s pretty cool we’ve run into each other before while exploring. Yea I’ve seen the dates it’s very interesting!

[@cherylatkinson7479]

@FLtrailblazer Yes, that's what he said at Goethe SF. He said that you're a nice cool dude 😎

[@StephUFla]

Great video! Hubby and I are waiting till it’s a bit cooler to hit the trails!

[@mariemorgan7759]

I am terrified of sink holes, but that cave is so beautiful and the wilderness all around.

[@doomguy584]

Wow this is really awesome a canyon type cave system

[@Takealiltripnsee]

It's scolding hot outside and you still are boots on the ground. You're a legend dude. Bless. You seen any ancient stones in your travels in Florida? Have you seen old world Floridas videos on the Saxer stones?

[@ramoncranert8177]

FTB videos are a welcome respite from news, current events, etc. Dealing only in the real. At [4:13 ]mark, there's a treacherous hole and exposed root system of a tree it would be way too easy to break an ankle in. The last such hole I saw was in the Levy County Park at Bird Creek, Yankeetown, which includes a bit of Gulf Coast beach.

So cool! I would have worried about meeting a bear!

[@davidbusciglio5529]

From central Florida here. They're not very likely to bother you, but yeah, you've got a point. He is in prime bear country up there in the Withlaoochee Forest.

North Forida fan here. Good job on the video! I was surprised to see those orange socks but then I realized how effective they would be for spotting ticks. I've been yanking them off right and left lately.

[@mattssamson]

These trails are FULL of ticks, me and my friends got lost off trail and when we got back onto it I was COVERED In babies lol

[@northfloridaman7944]

@@mattssamson I have friends who call them "seed ticks" and yeah, the welts they leave behind are just as long-lasting as the adult bites. Good thing you got them off before they migrated to your nether regions.

[@mattssamson]

@@northfloridaman7944 “your nether region” is the best thing I’ve ever heard LOL. But tbh I’d rather ticks than them damn chiggers

[@northfloridaman7944]

@@mattssamson IEEEEEeee... chiggers! No way of knowing they are on you 'till it's too late.

[@heyodi3092]

Is there any chance you could check on Manatee Springs after the hurricane? I’m worried sick about it.
