Van Life Work Outs & A Magical Music Box

[@Mr.Roncharles]

I don't work out to look good, I want to be harder to kill. Haha love it. I'm stealing this.

[@CaseyRoman]

We need tshirts

[@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt]

"Future ex-husbands", "cricket choir" and "nature's Xanax"! Too funny. Casey, thanks as always for your wonderful profile of another small town gem: Defuniak Springs.

[@yvairguy]

My Uncle had a business restoring those types of music boxes, he had dozens of his own, people sent them from all over the world to be serviced and repaired. Every time I hear one it brings me back to his shop,

[@CaseyRoman]

I love this!

[@sledneck7398]

Lol, changed hair color to look "less approachable", just looks more beautiful to us!

[@CaseyRoman]

I need to find the perfect shade of "Back Off Ginger"

[@j.patrickmoore9137]

The Music Box - if you stop to think about it - is a fusion of the phonograph and the CD. Phonograph, because it tracks to make music physically; and CD, because it's a series of 1's (holes that trigger the music) and zeros (where it doesn't). How totally cool! Thanks for bringing that to us.

[@meccagold2009]

Just got my "Manbulance"! To use the scientific term it is, dope as hell. Your channel is partly responsible for a grown ass man making such a purchase.

[@CaseyRoman]

HELL YES!!!!!

[@meccagold2009]

Now to register and insure....dreading the process. I will rewatch your video on the subject. What do you pay in insurance if you don't mind.

[@fastgurrrl]

That librarian was a doll and treated you right.

[@stevestranz8790]

Your little side trips are a treasure trove of hidden gems, thank you for sharing! ✌️❤️👍

[@marcg4115]

It makes me laugh when Casey tells the ducks to shake their butts. #silly

[@mtl9036]

I live your videos Casey! Thank you for educating us Floridians about gems like this town which I never heard about

[@CaseyRoman]

This was a total mistake but a BEAUTIFUL surprise!

[@ginavanbeck1]

I use $3 hair dye from wally world! Lol! Well I’ll tell you it looks good! And this video is awesome! That music box was just mesmerizing! I want to just follow you everywhere and see all the stuff! Thanks Casey you’re never off course when you’re traveling like this! It seems like you’re always in the right place at the right time honey!!!!!! The Muscogee ducks just wanted to follow you because they thought maybe you would feed them that’s all! Watch out for that goose. It actually looks rather desensitized to humans otherwise it probably would’ve bit you in the ass ha ha Ha! Love your videos Casey!!

[@CaseyRoman]

3 dollar hair, don't care!!! It all fades out anyway. Why pay $70?!

[@ginavanbeck1]

Casey Roman that’s right!! Hair care is more like $140. Rediculas!! ! I’ve been $3 hair dying for years!! Badass , kick ya ass BROWN baby!! Lol!! Rather spend that money on my grandkids!!

[@RED-im6fd]

I've been to this lovely town - wish I knew about the library it would made my trip - thank you

[@annettewess3702]

Hi Casey, the scarey hair looks good. Crazy 🦆. 68 feet deep no thank you. If my feet don’t touch the bottom I’m out. Regina music box was sounded magical. Fifty Shades of bats....ewwwwe

[@CaseyRoman]

I like it dark too!! Yeah if I can't see and touch the bottom...I'm OUT!!!

[@donnaradonski2470]

What a wonderful treat or treats. Thank you for taking us along!

[@ginabrytowski3564]

My name is Regina, growing up with that name SUCKED when I hit high school because no one knows about the gorgeous old music boxes (certainly not high school kids lol) but they knew about "Regina Steamer Carpet Cleaner" mmhmm fun times haha. But yay for another awesome video! Thanks for sharing these!

[@MrsBee-uo2lc]

Could you do a video on how you locate campsites and visitor centers?

[@lisachafin4101]

❣oooooo ... I loved LOVED LoVeD the music box! Truly amazing & beautiful!❣

[@sassyshell4320]

Workout so you're harder to kill. 😆 You're killin' me, Red. #newfavbadass🔥

[@veevanvoom5863]

Keep the humour coming. Loved the music box. Your hair is bad ass

[@CaseyRoman]

I adore you!!!

[@veevanvoom5863]

Casey Roman mutual admiration society here. I love ‘harder to kill.’ Finally a reason to exercise !

[@jlynn37]

You make that red hair look amazing,

[@CaseyRoman]

I think I'm going to keep it scary dark

[@Zengirl153]

I could listen to that music box all day!

[@CaseyRoman]

I made her play it until I could tell she was getting tired of cranking the side handle

[@Zengirl153]

Way to be a brat. Lol! My husband calls me a brat all the time. 🤓

[@penny_willow]

You crack me up. I like your outlook on everything and you don't give a rat's butt what anyone thinks.

[@CaseyRoman]

NOPE!

[@stevezytveld6585]

I call Seconds. Lovely tour. Miss Lee and a home caliapie. Doesn't get much better than that. Cathy

[@LucysVanAndale]

Your hair color is very fitting and looks great with you skin tone and beautiful eyes. You are a lovely young lady Ms Casey. These adventures are truly so enjoyable. I have never been to Florida (Well I have but only the airport to transport a beautiful dog and fly right back to LA). Those ducks were adorable too. I didn't realize it had so much history. Again Thank you for sharing. FYI - I am going to my first Vanlife meet up here in So Cal. I am so excited. I am dragging my grandson and his girlfriend but it will be nice to get to meet some of the folks. I'm taking my old van (not built out) so we shall see how it goes. Stay safe!

[@LucysVanAndale]

@@raymonddriggers That's funny I do follow Jarrod. I enjoy his van tours. I know he just sold his ProMaster and is now moving up to the smaller Sprinter. Yes I will have to make it to Florida. I just got back from Mexico for 3+ weeks so playing catch up here. It was starting to get pretty hot there since summer is coming.

[@cynthiaenglish2736]

Your wit is a gift; thanks for sharing it, and your adventures!

[@CaseyRoman]

Thanks Cynthia!

[@lanahallock1118]

The library was wowzer.Thank you.

[@jerrydensmore2887]

Another precious story from the courageous red head. Thanks Darling for sharing.

[@penntraxx]

I happen to like your "scary lady hair" . Ginger is ginger ... I'm a fan. If you ever decide to pop up above the border , give a shout.

[@MrScottee411]

Hey Casey, the princess Dark Ginger look fits you well. Heading to the south and the east in April to travel some Civil war states. You are an inspiration. Leaving the ole motor home home and doing a Prius car camping venture to 18 states in 30days. Wife and i's first car trip. Different way to spend Easter and my 65th bday on the road. Thanks again for the do's and don'ts of where not to park over night. Keep on moving,and watch the sky for the typical spring weather along the way west.

[@CaseyRoman]

You have a wonderful trip ahead of you!

[@tommynikon2283]

Music Box: Patented, 1889; wow!

[@rhondalyn100]

What a lovely look at a sweet little town. Thank you....

[@CaseyRoman]

Total surprise!

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

Another nice video.

[@Tygerlady99]

Always a treat to watch your videos, Casey. Love your humor.

[@CaseyRoman]

Thank you!!!

[@jameshudson1508]

Wow, over six months I have been an observer of your endeavor, Sept 9th my birthday too. You continue do brighten my days with your posts, educate me and add to my store of van life tricks of the trade. You certainly were adept at turning a detour into a positive and that's what is all about. You make it look easy. Regina Rocks!

[@CaseyRoman]

Its definitely not an EASY life in the van but nothing badass was every easy

[@jameshudson1508]

Nothing!

[@donnahoffman1855]

I shutter at how deep the springs are also! What a cool music box!! Amazing! Love all the history you share with us, thank you!

[@rhansen1969]

Ohhhh, love that music box! ❤

[@crystalcrissypeterson3375]

OMG! I want that music box! What a fantastic find!

[@nicolec3726]

I bow to you and your working out 7 days a week. I started driving a lot for work last year and I've got a lot mo' jiggle than I did before. I should probably get off my fat ass and work out now. LOL And what a cute little campground and town! People swim in that spring?! Looks a little to scary for my liking.

[@CaseyRoman]

Don't get me wrong...I don't love working out. I do love having the energy to run around this country and do everything else I love to do. I'll invest the hour a day to extend my life.

[@roamthedome2421]

You have such a wonderful way with words. I look forward to each of your videos/stories!

[@CaseyRoman]

Thank you so very much!

[@citten4u]

That music box is mesmerizing.......could listen all day ......cool video

[@CaseyRoman]

I would have played every single one of them if they had let me!

[@southerntexashomestead5028]

New hair color is great! Wish I had that color. My Grandfather had red hair "Irish" but Grandmother was Cherokee Indian and gave me dark brown instead. I really enjoy your videos.

[@sherrihodges849]

As I sit behind fumes of chemical coconut suntan lotion and a sea of Phillys paraphernalia on my 2 hour, 200 yard trek to the beach its nice to see Florida outside of spring break. Charming!

[@shirlenehigbie5677]

[@patriciauselton7888]

Two words for Ponce de Leon, Florida -- Morrison Springs. It's our go-to check-out dive stop on I-10 to Ft. Lauderdale and beach diving. Do bring a mask, fins, and a 3-mil wetsuit (I use Cuddl Duds microfiber long underwear in the ocean, but it's too cold in the springs). Watch out for alligators. Excellent underwater photography and also a decent kayak location on the Choctawhatchee River. If you want a good east coast dive and snorkel experience, try Blue Heron Bridge at Riviera Beach, Florida. There are rules, but it is gorgeous at slack high tide. Check with the local dive shops about their guided tours, since the transition currents before and after high tide can be strong and dangerous. Also, it is a boat channel and fairly shallow so caution is necessary at certain areas. Check KZbin videos of the bridge wildlife and the Phil Foster Park (parking area) beach. Horseshoe crab. Small barracuda. Southern stingrays. Eels. Sometimes manatee. Many, many, many fish at the bridge pilings. Locals can be leary about telling where the sea horses are, because of collectors and idiots. Also, we used our kayak to go to Peanut Island to see the Palm Beach Maritime Museum and John F. Kennedy Bunker. If bringing your rig check with Scubaboard.com -- community -- Florida and read up about safety around Phil Foster Park. We drive up from Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and don't stay after dark.

Would you mind sharing the link for the workout instructions/site you use? I think I could hear it in the background but couldn’t make it out.

[@yasminedey8612]

As lovely and magical these antic music boxes are, they do remind me of horror B-movies of the 70s ;). Thanks though for this informative tourist guide..now I even know about book worms. By the way, tomorrow the 26.05. is gingerhair day ...

[@andyjohnson4641]

As a land surveyor, I now need to check out this perfect circle!

[@CaseyRoman]

I have a picture of it on the blog (www.babecavebuilds.com)...I think they might be stretching the word "perfect"

[@andyjohnson4641]

Awesome! I know that cypress often grow with a near perfect circle in the center. I’ll be sure to check out your blog too!

[@butrflysings01]

Just discovered you and I'm obsessed lol I think the only way I could go solo like that is with a concealed carry license...that man with a pipe would have terrified me😳 Also, fellow photog here, super jealous of all the cool things you get to see💜💜💜

I tried to save your video until I had some "me" time, but couldn't wait to see your latest find. My, my, Casey, you are fast becoming my most treasured KZbinr. I'm constantly checking for notifications. Short story, you are doing exactly what I planned to do after retirement, but God had other plans for me. I am blessed to be my mom's caretaker and blessed to live vicariously through your videos. Thanks for always keeping it real. ❤️❤️

[@CaseyRoman]

It was the loss of the two VIP ladies in my life who got me to this point and I can't get that back on the road. I'm glad you are able to be with her and in the meantime I'll be taking you with me!

[@brokerhc]

Muskovy ducks rarely bite, they just like people to feed them. Now, we have a cute reptile in Florida called an alligator. These Florida natives are not color blind but they will not be intimidated by your new hair color. An interesting note:You can't tell an alligators sex by its eye color. Most of the time, an alligator's eyes reflect a red color when a beam of light shines on them in the dark. A blind alligator's eyes do not reflect. So, if you are lucky. the alligator staring at you is not reflecting light so it might be blind. Keep up the great videos.
