Florida Panhandle: The Forgotten Coast and the Emerald Coast - Summer 2020 Episode 6

[@1978rharris]

I’ve gotta be honest Robert, you and your channel and your videos have kept my sanity through this year so far. This is the first year in a long time we’ve not been able to go on holiday, so Traveling vicariously through you has been something I, and I’m sure many people, am immensely grateful for. So, thank YOU for what you do. And that goes for your good lady too. Pass on our thanks to Illy (hope I spelled that correctly) too. She’s as much part of this as you are. So, cheers guys....you’re legends! 🙌😁

[@carolpeyton1579]

Yes I agree with you 100%

[@cruzcasusol6056]

So do I 👏👏🌺🏖

[@rnagpalinyyc]

Is it only me who wants your episodes to be like 24 hours long ? I could watch this all day ! Cheers Robert !

[@djtechinics97dj37]

No you’re not alone

[@missyann6390]

Agreed! 👏

[@AskRemy]

We all do Buy the album on iTunes It holds you over between videos I've gone from overactive to very calm. Never expected that to happen

[@danishknight2798]

He is not Stevens quality but I love his traveling video and will watch them for support.

[@AskRemy]

Danish Knight to each their own. I think he is the best on KZbin of all youtubers

[@Mark-cg2bg]

Those huge piles of oyster shells you showed actually have a special purpose. They get bundled together in very large net bags and are dropped offshore to form new oyster beds. It's one of the most effective ways found to increase the supply. Great video, as always!

[@Thomas-po3by]

Also don’t they crush the shells for driveways????

[@martharunstheworld]

Wouldn't that have been cool if he would have asked a local about it??? I often wonder why he doesn't ask more about things rather than just wonder. When I travel I always ask locals questions.

[@LegalShield3000]

Never would have guessed

[@susanlester1]

You do such a great job with theses travel vlogs.

[@nathanb780]

Great video. We live in Tallahassee and just drove the Forgotten Coast today, from Panacea to Carrabelle, to St George Island, to Apalachicola, to Mexico Beach, then to Panama City, and back to Tally. So nice.

[@marianfrances4959]

Hear Hear!

[@clairepatton6880]

Nathan B didn't want to come visit us in Pensacola, huh?

[@nathanb780]

@@clairepatton6880 When we go to Pensacola, we usually go overnight. How's the storm recovery going?

[@ozzie3056]

Another beautiful Sunday morning. I look forward to these videos every week.

[@slimvtwin8278]

Bravo, Robert. I feel like I got my Florida fix. It’s much appreciated.

[@charterd]

me to

[@danasteben2447]

I have an extremely boring job i don't know what i would do without these video's

[@kenwelch198]

I love traveling in this area of Florida! So many forgotten beaches quaint little towns. Post note, we often go a little further down the big bend area and stay in a little hidden campsite on horseshoe beach but I think you may have covered that area a few years ago.

[@samanthamoore9219]

Just to let you know i drove past you today in layton utah and your passenger headlight is out 😀 safe travels

[@TheOldCowboy1952]

Robert, thanks for coming to the forgotten coast. It was nice to see it from your perspective. This is my old stomping ground. God bless and be safe on your journey.

[@aeriste]

Those florida clouds. So magical, every darn episode.

[@scottstark2286]

Great video as always. Hope you give Apalachicola another chance as my wife and I had a great time there a few years ago. It demands at least an overnight stay to get the vibe. Florida heat in summer.....! Also the beaches at St. George Island State Park at the end of the road are incredible. One of the reasons I love your videos is that you never sugarcoat real travelers problems. Never enough time and money!!

[@petepeter1857]

Damn.....I live in South Florida and you still make me wish I was there, lol! Happy trails!

[@faithrada]

LOL ... Yup, he IS that good isn't he. 😆

[@MrLoloHunter]

Excellent video. Interestingly enought, watching it while staying at Sunkissed RV Resort. We love this place.

[@debicaron6046]

Miss my seafood I lived there for 40 years..Going back for a visit. THAT 🌅 SUNRISE WAS AWESOME

[@debbiewerner7124]

Love the name of that resort Ho Hum. Good food. Beautiful emerald beaches. What a life. ❤

[@darisanshanger1616]

Love all the sights and sounds!! Yah, when it’s hot.. get some shade.. and a cool drink.. slow down

[@evslone]

Robert, you are a brave soul to take on Florida heat and humidity in the summer. Appreciate seeing the coast and the honest portrayal. Lots of people like touristy towns, but for those who don't it's helpful to hear your viewpoint. Like you, I enjoy the pace and feel of the old, slow lifestyle.

[@gregprince2523]

So much devastation from Hurricane Mike a few years back. Mexico beach was in bad shape in February. Hope it's gettin better!

[@ljjackson7106]

Robert your videos are always delightful! Your voice is golden! 👍 You were in our region of the state! So much to see and learn about FL! Thank you and God Bless you and your wife!

[@theweakestlink2278]

Love the R3dn3ck Riviera! That's where we vacation most years. The emerald water of the northern gulf is beautiful!

[@ernestomoreno5904]

Those of us who live in Florida are lucky to have all these beautiful places to enjoy..great videos !!!

[@captainsteve5475]

36:05 minutes up already? Time flys when you watch someone having fun. 🤣

[@TheJourneyAwaits]

Thanks Robert for Sharing, we all ways look forward to watching them.

[@saltysteveandmisfitmichele]

Thanks for another great video Robert.

[@LookingUpPassingThrough]

Look forward to your videos every Sunday. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. The last RV park was beautiful.

[@alrichardson7027]

Hello Traveling Robert😊! I really enjoyed the St Augustine and Forgotten & Emerald Coasts of the Florida panhandle. St Augustine is so beautiful and enjoyed exploring it with you. Looking forward to you traveling north and exploring other parts of the country. Great video and see you on the road!

[@seankinsey4619]

Another excellent video. My wife and I look forward to watching the new ones every Sunday. We would love to see you do a video on how you plan your adventures.

[@markfranks943]

Your uploads are always on point better than any travel programmes.im from the uk and been having are vacations to the states since we where kids and in love with the place but florida now that place for me is the best and the Floridians some of the best people in the world kind friendly down to earth and would love to move my family across the pond who knows maybe one day.keep up the good work cheers

[@meloneyparker]

Your videos are always 5 star. You're a great storyteller and are extremely informative. And, your footage is beautiful.

[@coastalroamer2024]

An under appreciated area of Florida (Panhandle). The Florida summer is hot but also the best kept secret too. Early AM and late PM is great. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to the great road trip 2020!

[@flatearthterrafirma8571]

Truman Show, a more true to life film than most realize. Nice video sir. I met a gent named Jim from OH while literally in Crystal River swimming with manatees who said knew you and that's how I found your channel. Cheers

[@missyann6390]

Thanks for the early viewing! We enjoyed it and added another couple of stops to our list with our Winnebago Winnie Drop. 👏❤️ What a BEAUTIFUL sunrise!! 📷

[@jaybaptiste1999]

WOW. When you went through Mexico beach into Panama City, that was my daily drive for four years before Hurricane Michael.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

St. George Island is my favorite Florida beach, but you have to get out of the town and go into the state park. The most beautiful, peaceful beach.

[@chrisphinney6430]

I loved panima city beach and seaside when i visited jan 2019. Was hardly anyone there at the time. Thanks for sparking my memories

[@stevenhoag69]

I always enjoy watching your videos but I especially like these Florida ones. We live in Kansas and I can only make it to about Panama City before we have to turn around and start heading back. One of these days when I retire or get more time off I'm heading that way and going around the whole state. Thanks for your videos. Steve

[@crystalkittykat3581]

Thank you Robert for making Sunday mornings better with your wonderful videos! 🚐❤️

[@joycemosakowski3648]

I always wondered what that part of Florida looked like. Seaside was very nice. I also liked the old part of Florida, it was like going back in time. 🏖🏝🌅

[@MOSCOWZ]

Beautiful vlog ...love to travel with you exploring resplendent land.woods.cascades.mountains.etc....

[@cosmo1972]

I'm glad I found this. I camped here many years ago and it really brought back memories. Doesn't look too much different these days. I really loved Cape San Blas.

[@HappyPlaceCamping]

Was in Florida once a few years ago. I loved it. But then I do love the beach pretty much everywhere we've been lol. We were in Pensacola. We had a really good time. Was pretty hard to leave there lol.

[@keiththecarpenter5639]

Yep, beautiful Beaches there.

[@nataliefullwood6679]

Good on ya mate!! WOOHOO!! 👍🇦🇺 Sunday night here in Australia... Watching right now. Thank you!!

[@lindajames8300]

Thanks Robert for another informative great, and entertaining video. We have not yet explored the panhandle area. This video has made me take notes and now I'm going to have to check it out......hopefully next year! Well ✔ done

[@WhereRVStaying]

I made my Mom watch this one. She use to spend her winters in Mexico Beach at El Governor and also go to the bingo hall you show in Panama City. Needless to say she is now a fan of you and is hooked on your videos!

[@VuNguyen-mh4oo]

Hello Robert, you are simply the best! Very involving and enjoying. Can't thank you enough.

[@stevegiblin270]

I enjoyed the RV ad!👍and the beaches. Tiki bar etc.

[@JejblessAnointed]

Enjoy the drive, very informative. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work, Enjoy watching your videos. 👏👍

[@islandhopper753]

Spectacular photography and outstanding music score😊👍

[@michaelklein95]

I lived in Pensacola for a little bit. Very nice beaches and good amount of stuff to do. I’d go back.

[@C-TOS]

Happy Sunday everyone!

[@anthonyramirez2576]

Same to you, positive posts appreciated

[@tube11s11s11]

Hi Roberto, I am so glad and happy to watch your latest travelling show, thank you, Stay Healthy and Stay Safe.

[@la108293]

Always look forward to and enjoy traveling vicariously through you guys. While you found the "Truman" town too crowded, I was happy to see these little places doing business again.

[@jaytomson7052]

Great sunrise scene.

[@helenabrus191]

My goodness, have you seen the horrible damage to this area; glad you were able to preserve great memories in this episode.

[@MHarenArt]

That Summerfield RV place was really nice!!!! Wow, you're going to be gone for a long time!! As usual, your trips and narration are always very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

[@843Creeker]

Enjoyed the Video! I use to live in Eastpoint Florida, which you went through to get to St George Island 🏝! I miss living in Franklin County, and i built a lot of houses on the island and in Port St Joe , Mexico Beach and in Carabelle! Thanks for the Memories!

[@TAPPChannel]

One of the best places in FL for sure!! and only 850miles from Chicago:) At 7:00 TAP Room ;D

[@floridanative7105]

Thanks for the View of the Emerald Coast Where I was Born & still Reside ..We Locals Don't Mind Sharing but Gawd it was So Nice in the late 70s & Thur the 80's things around here then were Season & about November We had it all to ourselves other than a Few Snow birds down from Canada Just to Many People & Way to much Traffic Nowadays We Have a Tourist Problem a Traffic Problem & a Shark Problem We Never Had in the Past. Times they are a Changing...

[@odalishoffman2447]

Always love your videos. We were camping in Florida during the same time you were. It was so hot and muggy, we also vowed not to go camping down there in the summer! 😑🤔😁

[@jamesgunn1606]

Only reecently found you Bobby , really enjoy the pace of your videos !

[@derail6996]

I'm from Wakulla county about 10 miles from Panacea but live in Tampa now! This video makes me home sick! I spent a lot of my teenage years driving those same roads going to the beaches and fishing when I was supposed to be in school!!!

[@Yawndave]

Those beaches look so inviting! Even more so since most of the Santa Cruz beaches are closed down this weekend. I'd love to get back to Florida to take a dip in those turquoise waters. I'm really looking forward to seeing videos of your current road trip! Cheers!

[@marianfrances4959]

Robert's private pool! Thank you for hosting us in your home state! So Beautiful!😉🇨🇦

[@UGB]

We were so close! Our vacation at St. George was just ending as you got there. These Covid times are certainly far from usual as pertaining to dining out, etc. I try and give the servers a bit more leeway than pre-Covid service. Thank you for another great video. Almost 3 years ago I was thinking about RVing and a KZbin search brought up a Tampa RV show video of yours. Been watching ever since and we are finally having our first (rental) RV weekend next month! Thank you for all you do.

[@amourflower9893]

Nice my plans was to visit the panhandles this summer so i am glad u did it for me. Lol see u on the road.

[@virginiacorker9994]

Great video. I was excited to see info on that fantastic resort Sunkissed RV Resort in Ocala. BTW, those are pickleball courts, not tennis courts. Pickleball, fastest growing sport in America, and abroad

[@paceflchick]

My favorite area. We were just at Ho Hum. I live by Pensacola. Ready to move to Citrus or Hernando,, change of scenery.

[@beetlefang]

i really enjoy your channel and am looking into a minnie because of it. I like how winnebago responded to your ideas.

[@jaybaptiste1999]

Great video. I have many friend in this part of Florida. Next time you come through, stop by port st Joe and cape San blas. There two RV parks if not three. Mexico beach is a must see as well.

[@deborahmcdermott6927]

Wow! The Sunkissed RV Park looks awesome, especially the pool area!

[@SoldiersDad]

Nice to see a tour of an RV resort.

[@bertadelaudebri7179]

Thanks for sharing your adventures...

[@MurielleInVirginia]

I like the scene in the pool and how you interact with your audience, very well done!

[@susanbrown2909]

Thanks Robert...really like your vids. I don’t like hot weather Robert..it’s was 37c in England ,some weeks back. I hated it..way too hot,glad it’s cooler.

[@markshelhart8338]

Great footage as always; you need to go just a bit further west, Henderson Beach State park if you can get in, or Navarre Beach Camping Resort, private full hookups right by Navarre Beach Marine Park; same beautiful beaches but less crowded.

[@soniaff8303]

¡Me ha encantado! 😍😍😍 Es como si estuviera allí. ¡Es todo tan bonito que me emociona! 😭 Y me gusta mucho también porque hablas tranquilamente y me da tiempo a entenderte. jajajaja. Estoy aprendiendo mucho inglés contigo Robert. Un cordial saludo desde España!!!!

[@keiththecarpenter5639]

I believe there is a Campground in Indian Pass and St. Vincent Island is just 300 feet right across the water.😉

[@RB-pi3jl]

I can understand the Florida heat. We tried a brief two-day trip to central Texas since we haven't gotten out much this year. 104 degree heat was punishing. Gonna have to wait until Fall to venture out again and head North.

[@faithrada]

Thanks for that peek of 'Old Florida'... not much left. : ( On a different note... you guys really have to master "Snowbirding"... it's the Best of both worlds. 🌴🌲🌴🌳

[@TwoWheels47]

Great video but am quite shocked that not one person was wearing a mask or seen any safe distancing. When was this shot???

[@dodgeguyz]

Thanks for the upload as usual. We are headed to Navarre FL next month and was looking forward to this video! Another great job! Looking forward to your big trip!

[@sparkit75]

I am watching your videos on my tv. You know how to have a good time. Your always looking for a tiki bar everywhere in florida...which is so cool. 😁😄

[@Real_Sgt_Tom]

there's a really great WWII museum in that region as well just off the main highway.

[@BillUtah]

Another Great video and more spots to put on my must see list when I finally get to be on the road for a really long trip. The Sunkissed RV resort must have a serious amount invested just in pavers for those pads! Beautiful 👌 Thanks for the video, Bill in Utah

[@davidfrazee1011]

Holy cow. 2160p?! This is amazing.

[@jimfiers9584]

Your videos are so informative., I have a list a trips to go to now. We are currently at Highland hammocks state park very beautiful here.

[@louisag5410]

Absolutely stunning video!! Hope to make it there someday....

[@duanecasada6843]

Beautiful Video Always learning so very much from you . Tyvm

[@teresaareces4995]

Well, hello Robert great to see you on the road gain 😎

[@kimmy1984]

Happy Robertday aka Sunday!! Great video Robert thanks for posting.

[@cocomari7313]

Hiii Robert!! Another GREAT video!! I learn so much from your videos! 👍

[@theneverendinghighway]

Little fact: I live right outside Boston. After I graduated high school I worked at a building on Revere Beach. It is called The St. George. It was designed based on pink buildings found in St. George, Florida.

[@elcascarrabias8382]

How did you miss the St George Island State Park and the dozens of 100+ year old homes in Apalachicola? How? The state park beaches are almost deserted some days. And the homes . . . oh my! Anyway, enjoyed it.

[@TruckEnthusiastYT]

7:03 that’s the Restraunt your beer from that river place came from

[@williamirizarry2490]

THANKS FOR THE ADVENTURE..IM THINKING ABOUT HEADING THERE..GREAT DRONE FOOTAGE.

[@Iceify_]

That “seaweed” is actually June grass. It’s an algae that is non harmful. It is essential for the ecosystem that feeds wildlife and re nourishes the beach. It can start in mid June depending on what the water temperature is and currents. (I am going to destin on the 1st of June. Hopefully the June grass is not bad) what day of June did you go?

[@fuxan]

Thank you for the knowledge.

[@mikeschock9225]

Thanks for showing more of Florida! Pretty much at the top of my bucket list of places to visit after the border opens again. Hope you are staying safe as it looks like many people are not social distancing properly there! I noticed there is a Seaside in Florida. I don’t know if you had a chance to check out Seaside, OR when you were coming up the Oregon Coast, it’s 5 miles north of Cannon Beach. It’s a historical place as well as Lewis and Clark ended their expedition at Seaside, OR. I think I like the Seaside in Oregon better from what I have seen! Looking forward to your future videos.

[@eileenvangoor9498]

I highly recommend Topsail Preserve State Park on Santa Rosa Beach! While there you must go to The Donut Hole!!

[@AskRemy]

On your Road Trip Pt 2 - 24 seconds in - wow that is powerful on a decent sound system. I can just imagine what it would do on a serious sound system. Has me wondering if I should upgrade my factory system to something professional just to listen to these insane sound tracks.

[@larrycresswell8167]

Thats kool. I shrimped on the Miss Martha out of Apalach.
