I met the Walmart Tampa Jay today. Dude was rocking the baseball cap, aviators, reflective vest and cargo shorts. 🤣

A kick from down under the earth. I love caverns!

[@billybridges8727]

Thanks Tampa Jay for shooting such great videos. Have a great day.

[@Positive90sCarl]

No better way to kick off a Sunday. Great video Jay! Glad to see you’re getting some dirt on the Subaru.

[@Crossfirepyro2]

Awesome one of the places in Florida I never been to but it’s on my bucket list. God I got to get back to Florida.😊

[@AHicks-yp8wq]

❤ Enjoyed the video...I appreciate how you take us on so many Adventures with you. Your videos are the highlight of my day... The cave was really cool....but caves always make me think of that movie "The Descent" lol.... Have a blessed day ..😊🦩🦩

Jay way back in the 80s my wife and I went through the Florida Caverns cave. We took the tour into the cave. Everything looks so different now than I remember it. It certainly wasn't $15 to take the tour back then. Today I wouldn't be able to go through the cave. I tried to go through the cave tour at Ruby Falls and I couldn't do it. When we got down the elevator and walked to the gathering area, I started feeling anxiety hit me and I knew I had to get out. The tour guide girl got me around to the elevator and back up to the top. I waited up top outside for my daughter to walk the tour.

Boy that brought back some memories! I went there with my Girl Scout Troop when I was eleven 52 years ago. When the guide got to the part about turning all the lights off I totally lost it! Remember there were no cell phones then so there was absolutely no light. He had to turn the light back on because I was crying. I messed up that moment for everyone! Just watching this I’m getting kinda weirded out 😄 You did a great job documenting the tour and seeing all the beauty! And this time, I was able to enjoy it!😄

[@treasuretom13]

Awesome cavesite.. I'll have to check ✅ it out

[@vickys7370]

Awesome 👏 loving outdoors and natures wonders 🦇🦇 Thank you Great Caves 🦩🤗

[@redwemette5942]

Mariana is where time stood still, I love it there

[@daniM3636]

Yay! Florida back roads.Everyone thinks of Florida, beaches and theme parks. So much more. Love that you highlight beautiful and abandoned Florida places.

[@timrehberg6968]

I have lived in Marianna all my life and have been in the caves so many times. It’s awesome to see people travel to our small town to visit. And just to note caverns use to be loaded with more trees but hurricane Michael took a hit on them.

[@noellesimagination7813]

I always wanted to go here. Thanks for taking us.

[@SanDiegoAnnie]

Reminded me of the Lehman Caves at Great Basin National Park in Nevada. Cave bacon...who knew? Another awesome video! Thanks, Jay! Safe travels to you, always!

[@michaelstrong3634]

Really enjoyed this video. Love caves. Thanks for taking us along.

[@NHMOMBIE]

That was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@fritzmeynejr2983]

TJ, I really like you location choices and your presentations. Thank you!

[@BlackCat-aka-Jewels]

This is wonderful Jay! We have the Oregon Caves here in Oregon. It's so similar but yet different! My husband is a caver too. Come on over and we will take you! Wonderful video! Thanks so much!!!❤

[@garfixit]

❤well now I want to go

[@beckymartin7943]

Absolutely love to explore caves. I have been to several, but I have not been to the ones in Florida. I have been to a lot in Alabama and Tennessee and Virginia. They are beautiful in a spooky way.

[@sharonstover7337]

You have a great life, with all the adventures and traveling you are able to do!! Thank you for taking us along!! You’re awesome, and you are loved!! ❤

[@sarahmoller9716]

It was so beautiful in the Florida Cavern. WOW!! That old light on the ceiling is ALMOST as old as I am. So interesting... I do notice you like to push buttons, as do my great grandson. 😂. I am originally from Bardstown Ky and we went to the caves, lakes and parks. My Dad would tell that it was known Native Americans or outlaws could ride their horses into the Horse Cave to hide. Looking forward to seeing the next video. 🤗. Stay safe

[@aaronjamesmongcopa]

I'm glad there were no snakes or spiders around. :)

[@Sam-02024]

Appreciated the tour! The Stalactite - Stalagmite shirt 👍

[@diane1390]

My parents got to see the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico on their honeymoon in 1951. I'd love to see those.

[@MiamisburgJay]

The cave was cool Jay :) Thanks as always... keep it up

[@trish5556]

Great cave tour! I have been in lots of caves and this was top notch. I think Luray Caverns is my fav. I don't live all that far from Mammoth Cave now but can't leave my hubby alone (disabled) for that long a trip. We are right down the road from Squire Boone Caverns and Indiana Caverns, which I have been to. When we lived in Utah, I toured Mt. Timpanogos Cave and that was the hardest because you had to hike up the mountain to get to the cave and you were worn out.

[@rickmiller7547]

Great video! Thanks!

[@charlmaynehawthorne9372]

THIS VERY NICE, THANK YOU TAMPA JAY.

[@brianhumphrey6791]

Great video TJ

[@joangravel2436]

Thanks awesome place I enjoyed watching

[@karenjohnson3495]

That was fun Mr. Jay

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

Awesome video!!!

[@jerroldmcley4347]

They sure got a lot of funny names in Florida

[@elizabethbelflower5284]

As a local always loved the caverns .I have always loved the town of Marianna but it does have a dark history as well .Very strange that a place can have such natural beauty but so much human caused heartache, horror and be home to one of the most tragic stories in Florida history .I am of course talking about the infamous Dozier School For Boys .The two things Marianna is best known for beyond any doubt .Though tragic a place that should never be forgotten .RIP to all those suffered and died horribly and prayers for those still dealing with the horrors that happened there .

[@markdraskovics5274]

HEY,.. TAMPA JAY Well man just Wanted to let you know how much That I've been Enjoying Your Videos love the Back road and abandon places The caves are Really awesome Also Ok Jay please Take care and be Safe on all Your Travels !!!

[@bluskyz75]

This video came at the perfect time, I have a trip to the caverns planned for next week!

[@robinlee6295]

I've always wanted to stop there when we traveled through that area from Missouri to visit my Dad in Florida. Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@racheld.1273]

Thank you Tampa Jay for all ur videos !!!

[@allytebow]

Lived my whole life in Orlando/Seminole county but last year we moved up here to Defuniak Springs and it’s beautiful up here! The beaches obviously but also the springs, rivers and lakes all way more clear than central FL. Totally correct in it basically being southern AL 😂 Great video, been wanting to check the caverns out, much ahead!

[@lukekelley9043]

Great videos jay

[@averybryant6997]

reminds me of the Lost Sea caverns in Tennessee. a must see.

[@zenpanda8351]

[@hunteralex13]

Love your videos!! If you ever feel like going even more west, check out Ponce de Leon and Vortex Springs FL. Awesome on a hot summer day!! The spring is cold and clear, and is said to be the "real" fountain of youth...Looking to much ahead!!!

[@jeffreynagy5395]

No doubt, one of my favorite vlog of this year. Thank you Tampa Jay!

[@TampaJay]

Thanks, my friend. Glad to hear it.!

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Hey there, Tampa Jay! I'm ready for another adventure, but first, I want your tshirt! 😊 Stay safe! 🤗

[@MikeRuh01]

Every cave, when you get to the center, they always turn off the lights so ya can experience real darkness. I've only gone inside Meramec Caverns in Missouri. But it sure was dark. Thanks TJ

[@marybethmooney7490]

Thanks for covering this…Always wanted to go, but sadly, my brother passed before we had the chance. We had plans & hopes to, so at least now I’ve experienced it thru your eyes & lens…Thanks Again!!

[@Mark-ur4ds]

Looked a cool time! We’ll done ➡️

[@TampaJay]

Thank you Mark

[@bjornemccomb8262]

I’ve been to Luray Caverns in Virginia and also Ruby Falls in Tennessee and this is comparable to those, next time I’m riding through the panhandle I’ll definitely stop with my family!

[@dennisud]

Now I have another place to visit in the future!

[@Halloweenlover10.31]

How have I lived in FL for 25 years and not know about this? We're way over in Jax, but definitely someplace I want to visit❤ Tnx.

[@charlmaynehawthorne9372]

WE have several sizes of lava flows cavernous in my area, too of Lassen, Shasta , and Siskyou counties in northern California.

[@leearmstrong2743]

Mornin Jay!!

[@TampaJay]

Morning Lee

[@Bifyton]

If you ever end up going to the baseball hall of fame go to Howe Caverns which is an hour from Cooperstown they have a boat in the cave that takes you through part of the way.

[@roadstraveledphotography8440]

This washer is a pretty cool, place to stay with great perks for the price point. And once you become diamond, as you know, you get upgraded to the cool rooms, the best best western is the grand best western and Gainesville. It’s more like the Hilton. Hey, next time you’re in the area up there you’ve got to stay at Wakulla Lodge. Visit Falling Waters, lots of old churches in that area too. Keep up the good work I love your off-road places.

[@styxfan4022]

Very cool tour I kept hoping you would catch some sleestack's from land of the lost lurking around down there...lol

[@TampaJay]

Ha ha I love that show so classic

[@dennissmith5807]

I went to Florida Caverns a few years ago. It was swell.

[@BlackCat-aka-Jewels]

By the wsy Jay...we have the " Enchanted Forest" in Salem lol

[@willbygosh4887]

There's a Pomelo Grove that you should check out in Thonotosassa.

[@jparker59able]

Wow the caves are nice. Jay, I've only been watching your videos for about a year. I'm from central Florida (Hardee, South Polk). I was wondering if you've done a video on Highlands Hammock State Park in Sebring? If you have, I'll search through your older videos.

[@antoniorojas9825]

if your near Panama there’s a year round haunt called fear at the pier you should check out but this also looks super cool

[@rareluck]

I'm sure the trees there were much more substantial prior to Hurricane Michael. That was a cat 5 storm that cut a path right through the panhandle.

[@gregtodakonzie6168]

🤩

[@goodfella4]

I never knew they had caverns like this in Florida! I wonder if they teach tour guides to use the inflections in their voice like this guy does and when that started to be a thing.

[@rondaduffey8730]

Never knew this!? Maybe as a kid but maybe not,?

[@sa1ntluke]

Caves are scary

[@lauriestull1077]

Even where. BUSH'S The huge factory and it's They have a restaurant they have different. How they make the beans. It's huge they have I'm a movie how it all begins. You even get pictures of duke the dog. And they show all kinds of stuff. They have gift shops. Old towns it's really cool. I know you would love this place.

[@chrisnorthridge4953]

No way in a cave lol remember all those trapped, no ty but thanks for being brave n sharing

[@juliogonzales5441]

NO FOBIA JAY...I DID😅

[@mirandacoates6561]

Love watching your videos and Chris the girls videos would love too meet you and Chris I live in the U.K. love too you both 🫶🏻🦩❤️🇬🇧

[@larrygreen1915]

Coffee is so much better without cream in it

[@TampaJay]

I agree

[@jerroldmcley4347]

Is the guy in front of you going down the stairs a vlogger too

[@jerroldmcley4347]

Is there colored lights in there or is that the color of the cave

[@WAYUPDUDE1382]

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

Going through a cave can be a rocky road sometimes.🪨 But we promise never to take you for granite, Tampa Jay.😆

[@davew1065]

Pennsylvania has a lot of these caves you can tour. Look them up.
