I am nearly 62 years old now, and my family camped there nearly every year when I was a youngster. So many great memories!

I was told that the Lee family still comes out there and cleans up around the headstones

That's great! You can tell someone cleans inside the fence area. I'm sure it would be covered in leaves in know time.

Loved seeing this...I've been considering a return to that region. I grew up not too far from there and paddled and crossed that beautiful place several times in the late 60s and early '70s. It is just magical and I love seeing folks, like you, out in it and enjoying its splendor... If I could ask a technical question? I'm not too "tech savvy" but how, and what with, did you get some of those incredible shots of the gators and you below paddling all at the same time? It seemed like you were all alone. Was this some type of self tracking drone shot? Realy well done other than getting a little "grainy." Thanks in advance and for sharing this with all of us. I'm looking forward to the second part...
@Bamaoutdoors8 ай бұрын
Thank you for the kind words! I get them shots with this 360 camera. amzn.to/4d570oU It will get a little grainy when I try to zoom in all the way. I could fix some of that with a better laptop and then recording in 4K but my laptop I have currently can't really handle 4K footage lol. A 360 camera records in a 360° radius all the way around me so I really don't have to worry about which way the lens is pointing. After you're done recording you use the app and you can move and reframe footage in any direction you want. It's really an awesome camera and it has become one of my favorite cameras!

I always enjoy your videos. They inspire me to try different thing and get out of my comfort zone. But ummmm i dont think i will be getting out of my comfort zone on a trip like that. But great video. Cant wait to see what's next.
@Bamaoutdoors10 ай бұрын
Well that inspires me to get out there even more! I think It's good to get out of our comfort zone sometimes and try things that we're not comfortable with! 😎 Thanks for watching!!

Great video! Thank you for sharing. I would be nervous getting that close to a gator (18:27), but it didn't seem aggressive. I've never had one act aggressively, but I have never been that close to one either.
@Bamaoutdoors10 ай бұрын
Yeah the first couple of gators I was close to did get me a little nervous but after I seen they would not move unless I startled them it was fine. Especially the amount of gators there was I lost count of how many I actually seen lol.

That area your Longtail would eat it up! I’m building my boat now. What do you tie your handle off to with a floor in it no way to get to bottom braces ? I’m doing same floor you did!
@Bamaoutdoors10 ай бұрын
It sure would lol. Look up rope loop I got one from Lowes I think it was a 9/16" size and I screwed it to the bench seat kinda right under where the handle would be. I'll try to do a short video on that soon.
