You are so lucky. Living the dream life. You are living how we all should. You put a smile on my face. And calm me down every time I watch.👍

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We also feel like we are living the dream life and feel very blessed that we are able to do what we are doing. Thank you so much for your kind words it is very much appreciated.

[@janm8477]

Wow, you guys are batting 1000....incredibly relaxing, beautiful video. Yours are one of a couple that I wait until I am not multitasking, and just sit and experience on all cylinders. Thank you!!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We were very lucky getting campsite for sure. Thanks so much for your kind word, it is so much appreciated.

[@cr4224ry]

This was a great video! I liked the views of the dolphins, manatees, and the water views. Thanks for sharing.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

You are so welcome and thank you so much for watching.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

[@gailfallon8977]

Thank you VTL for bringing back wonderful memories of camping with our kids in Sebastian and Long Point as they were growing up! Magical area for sure. Love you guys!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

What a wonderful place to make family memories. We appreciate you watching.

[@bobshoe1]

You two, along with Debbie and John of She to Me, have really inspired us. We sold our LTV Unity a few years ago and have decided to RV again. We’ve order a Coachmen Beyond 22C on a Ford Transit AWD chassis with full lithium package. No idea when it will be delivered, so in the interim we’ll live voraciously through you guys. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures. We love going sightseeing with you. Good videos and editing. We love Maggie!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We love the LTV Unity, wondering why you sold it. We have several friends with the Coachmen Beyond and they all love it, I think you will too. We appreciate you following along.

[@sandymichalski3515]

We do enjoy watching you two. Of course your sweet dog Maggie.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you so much, you comment is appreciated.

[@OutbackinLasVegas]

Thanks for sharing, your experience is a learning experience for me. Someday soon I hope to explore and see this beautiful country!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

So glad you are able to learn something from our videos, that is one of the reasons we make these videos. There is so much to see and explore out there we feel very lucky we are able to do as much as we do. Good luck starting your adventures.

[@pattyk8594]

Great decision to stay for that rainy day! It usually never rains the whole time, especially in Florida. Great video guys! Keep going! :o)

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We were glad we stayed, it turned out to be a beautiful day. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@ronglaze746]

I grew up camping at Sébastien Inlet. Great memories.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

I’m sure you have a lot of great memories, it’s a great place to make them.

[@XRPstrong]

Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. See you guys in the next one

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

You are so welcome and we appreciate your following along.

[@barbaracarlson7402]

Great video, Sabastion Inlet State Park will now be on our “site list”. We love quiet places too. The look on Maggie’s face when you asked her what she thought as it was raining is the same look our Bailey has when she wakes to rain. Sad girls on rainy days. Hope you had a safe trip home.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We did have a safe trip home and are ready to go again. Sebastian Inlet will always be on our go back list. Thanks so much for watching.

[@sherriweber7105]

This was a great video! That park is great. Sorry it rained on you. I saw the dolphins and manatees. And lots of pelicans. That was good looking shrimp. I was laughing when Owen did the happy dance for shrimp. I thought it was cute it was Maggie answering you where she was when you left her. What cute and sweet dog. That park looked quiet. Thank you for sharing this video. Safe travels. Love you all.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you so much for your kind comment. You have to expect it to rain when you take trips, we were just glad it didn’t last long and we were able to still enjoy the great park.

[@CanadaFree.6014]

Great footage you two! Glad you had a great time in Florida this winter. Stay safe.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Florida is a great place to visit during the winter months, it is hard to beat.

[@mikemanjo2458]

Beautiful place! Man, those pelicans were everywhere. Beautiful wildlife. Thanks for taking us along. Loved the background music. Perfect. Have a great week! Love from SC, Jane ❤️🙏🏻

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you Jane for your continued support, it is much appreciated.

[@mikemanjo2458]

@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle ❤️🙏 Y'all always bring joy to my week!

[@kiwirose4196]

What a great video, I enjoy everything that you share with us

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you so much for your kind words.

[@roadtrek8951]

That's my favorite park. I've got a week 's stay coming up just before next christmas. Less bugs then, Wear lots of off for the mingees. Be sure to go over the bridge to the other side and enjoy the pier and guys fishing there.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We spent most of the day over the bridge watching people fish, it’s was beautiful. Enjoy your stay.

[@joycejohnson1396]

Thanks for sharing your videos I enjoy watching them.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

You are so welcome and we really appreciate you watching the videos.

[@philiptarnaski1667]

Thanks for sharing your travels and looking forward to hearing about the how the van repairs go 👍

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

You are so welcome. We will share our van repairs this Sunday.

[@joeyeubanks5965]

Another great relaxing video. Maggie is lucky to have you and vice versa.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Yes, I think we are both lucky to have each other.

[@dmorriss8647]

Sebastian is a man made inlet which really helped the eco-system down there. One of the few things the army corps of engineers didn’t screw up.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Good to know, thanks for sharing.

[@jeancambra8036]

I love your videos. I cannot tell you the emotions it stirs. Seeing the beauty through your eyes because you see it. Your captures are amazing. Seeing Maggie's love for you both. Quiet and peaceful and full of beauty. That's my goal. I love your journey and following you. I love your discussion making and stating whatever Lynne says that is what we will do. Great decision. Love the back door view. You have that joie de vivre desire for life and living that most don't allow themselves to live. I am retiring in 35 days. I am so looking forward to being on the road and the adventures that await. We are pretty much prepped and ready to hit the road. God bless your journey and be safe.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you Jean! Wow! 35 days!!!!! We remember those days. Such mixed emotions. We worried if we’d miss works, work friends, purpose, paychecks… you name it. We still miss work family a lot sometimes but the other things we worried about turned out to be something we never thought about once retired. You’ll see… a year from now you’ll wake up and think “how did I get anything done when I had to go to work?”… your days will get filled with things that matter to you. You have the right attitude about life and we’re glad we have inspired you in a small way. Please stay in touch with us and let us know how you’re enjoying your next chapter. For us the next chapter turned out to be so big we started calling it the next book. Maggie says keep having happy tails when you travel and stop and smell everything.

[@johnmurray9660]

Great video! I think 7 pm is a great time for your video's. I'm watching at about 10 pm and what a great relaxing video to call it a night after. Safe travels and I'm sure you're already enjoying your own bed at home! 😎

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thanks for letting us know the new time works for you, I’m not sure if we’ll keep 7 or go back to 9am. We do appreciate you watching.

[@richardcoyle2635]

Great video. Two nights and rain. Have a safe trip.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thanks, we appreciate you watching.

[@bonniebidwell6877]

Great video once again. Thanks for your work.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

You are so welcome and thank you for watching.

[@TheSassySpoon]

Lovely spot. Hope you have a safe trip home! We in NC are just getting ready to plant tomatoes and peppers. I sure hope that by this time next year we have our van and can go to some of these great places next spring. Thanks for showing us such great places!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Good luck with your tomatoes and getting your van. We appreciate you watching.

[@dangailhitthetrail2756]

We just came back from a tent camping trip in that area. We stayed at Donald MacDonald Campground Park (county park) in Sebastian, FL. Lots of available sites, but only a few have electric hookups. We don't need electric, so it was perfect. We recently found your channel and subscribed. We enjoy your videos, and can relate to what you are doing. We also have a dog that goes with us everywhere., and we are also retired---in our early 70's.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thanks so much for subscribing and giving us a new campground to check out. We appreciate you watching. Merry Christmas!

[@dennysisk6260]

Cool Video thanks for sharing definitely a beautiful place the camp.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you so much we appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.

[@greygooseadventures5212]

Mama Publix!!!!! Too funny, that is what we call it. When I can sneak those chicken strips by Juanita, I tell her at the checkout that they jumped into the buggy as we passed the deli! Couldn’t help myself! Then mustard or spicy mustard on them!!! Yum! Sebastian Inlet is a great area for surfers. Loved the video as always!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

That is too funny that you both say “Mama Publix” Owen might have picked it up from you. Thanks so much for watching.

[@judystreich4554]

Glass of wine instead of morning coffee, that’s cool. Lazy is exactly what I need after a very long winter plus covid. Loved the video.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Glad you were able to adapt with your drink of choice... We appreciate you following along.

[@TimeoffwithCuzinEddie]

You had me nervous when your video didn’t come out this morning, I was afraid something had happened to you. Great video as always.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thanks for your concern, it is appreciated.

[@rvingsooz]

So relaxing, thank you.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

You are welcome and thank you for watching.

[@mattclark5480]

Wow I really enjoyed the video that's another park I'll have to check out

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Glad you enjoyed the video. The park was awesome and we highly recommend it. Thanks for watching.

[@marydonaldson6139]

Your videos are so inspiring. The landscape there is beautiful for sure. I love your editing and music choices.🙌💞

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you so much for your kind words, they are very much appreciated.

[@johnshutte9398]

wow sorry we missed you guys would have loved to say hello .. i actually thought i saw you guys leaving as we were just getting to sebastion inlet campground.. we stayed for 4 days and love that place. we dont live far from it just on the other side of the river .. i built a cargo trailer conversion and it was our shakedown run before longer trips. next time through maybe we could meet and take you guys and the pups to and island or sandbar on my boat.. the area is why we moved there its just amazing all the wild life on land and sea.. my wife and i could sit and watch in wonder for hours at a time..

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We hate we missed you too. I hope you shakedown trip went well. We would love to meet up and watch all the wild life and wonder with you. thanks for watching.

[@danieltyler1194]

great video, thanks for sharing. East coast of Florida is the best!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We totally agree that the Florida is the best.

[@mikeo.750]

Thank you for sharing your adventure. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment and your thought process on the exit plan home. Happy Trails!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thanks for letting us know you liked our thought process, we never know if we should show things like that.

[@thomashaas3671]

GREAT VIDEO Looks like you had a great trip through Florida You are correct it is hard to get res in Florida I have worked on mine for 2 months now and have them all set for next winter. Lookin forward to next winter in Fla

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Congratulations on getting your Florida trip booked. Booking early is the best way to guarantee to stay in all the best places. Thanks for sharing.

[@glenlittlefield9869]

All good things most come to an end. Until next trip....

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

You are so right. Thanks for watching.

[@David-jo4gt]

That was a quick 27 min. We just got settled in and ready for the drive home and then it ended. Great video thanks for taking us along.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

The drive home was pretty typical, sorry if it ended abruptly, we do appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@ftkinsella]

Did ya see that one Pelican standing on one foot? There always has to be a show off eh? Lol. Well I have never smelt a Manatee fart so I suppose I have to head to Sebastian inlet, but I think Sebastian Outlet would be more appropriate. Hahahahaha Great pic! ❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thanks for laugh... We did see the bird on one foot, I was afraid he was hurt but Owen says that’s the way they sleep, I’m not totally convinced. We always appreciate hearing from you. Cheers to you!

[@babsshaffer2652]

Great video...& music! We like your setup in the garage. But so funny: “Two lazy people too lazy to put the screen down” 😂 “...and we’ve only had 2 cups of coffee...” We know exactly what ya mean! Have a safe trip home!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting from two lazy people.

[@gracegarden1]

I was really looking forward to this weeks episode. Thanks for another great one! Oh, by the way, I heard Owen singing in the background of one of She to Me's videos. Is there a way I can get Owen's music for my videos?

[@sharonjohnson9063]

You guys were lucky getting last minute reservations! I always travel the scenic route if possible. My trailer tires aren't rated above 55mph. 😂

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We felt very lucky, we have tried to get into the campground for several years. To funny that you tires aren’t rated above 55.

[@Snickers_GLNY]

Lovely video.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you, we appreciate you watching.

[@joycemoses2411]

Looks like a great park!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We appreciate you watching.

[@nancyt8399]

Suppose to be going there in a couple weeks. Hopefully will be nice. Safe travels!

[@LuckyDawgProductions]

Love Sebastian Inlet. Not stayed at the state park, but live the area.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

It is a beautiful place to live, you are lucky.

[@larryvincent2098]

BS & BK !! Great video !!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you, we appreciate you watching.

[@CanadaFree.6014]

Sebastian Inlet was one of our favorite state parks in Florida too. It reminds us a little of Stanhope National Park, Prince Edward Island, Canada.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We’ve never been to Stanhope, but it sounds really nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@craigbrownstein]

Another great video! What insect repellent do you use to keep no-see-ums from biting?

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Captain Bob’s Amazing No See Um spray.

[@jasff69]

Sebastian Inlet looks really nice as most of the others you have experienced, but those "NO-SEE-UMS would eat me alive....... Till we meet...Be Safe and Be Well.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

The No-see-ums were really bad there, that was the only down fall. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@janetfolkerts5827]

Creativity RV a seasoned RV'r uses the ap 'Highway Weather' that allows you to plan ahead and gives you the weather f rom where you are to your destination. This ap may give you more options in your decision process. You certainly lucked out with this location, it is a fantastic spot.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you so much for sharing the weather app, we will definitely check it out.

[@jackieturner5145]

Hi Owen and Lynn. Long time viewer here. What size is your clam pop up screen room and do you have a link to it please? I thought I saw that in a previous video but not sure. We bought a new travel trailer this weekend and eager to get back out there!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Our screen room is a 9x9 (5 sided), it’s listed on our Amazon page in the “outside area” if you are interested. Here’s the link www.amazon.com/shop/VanTrekkingLifestyle. Enjoy getting back out there.

[@davidherman1041]

Love the pic of maggie giving sweet kisses. Publix in Boone and Hickory so perhaps soon.......

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

There’s does seem to be a lot of Publix popping up, which is a good thing for us. Thanks for watching.

[@ronmarcus2917]

Owen, Wife and I love your great videos and of course Maggie. You inspired us to buy Rad ebikes, currently just left Huntington Beach state park and trails were great. Just quick question, we have original seats and they are not that comfortable. Are you still using cloud 9 seats, and would you recommend them? Thanks Safe travels

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Glad you're loving your Rad eBikes. Yes we still use the Cloud 9 seats and we both love them. The gel and memory foam in them make longer wides more comfortable and seem to provide a more stable ride too at least for us.

[@johnallard6301]

We use campnab all of the time and it works. Enjoy all of your work. Are you going to the Tampa RV show?

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

No we are spending this winter in southwest this year. We’ve already made our trip to Florida this year 👍😂

[@heatherwatson8273]

Why do you need to disconnect the electrics when it rains?

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We were disconnecting the electrics because we were going to leave and drive over the bridge.

[@ytgauser]

How do you haul your bikes?

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We hauled them in the trailer on our Florida trip. The next trip we are not taking the trailer so we will put them on the back of the Van with a Thule bike rack. They both work well for us.

[@pamelabrooks1789]

Have you been to Favor Dykes Park. Not too far from St. Auhustine. Worth checking it out. Only 30 sites. The Florida tropical forest. Sites very private. Not too far from the beaches to drive. St. Augustine has lighthouse and museum. Drive your 4WD on the beach for a 10$ beach pass. Restraunt: Safe Harbour Seafood restraunt. Short drive from the beach. So much thick tropical Forrest at Favor Dykes State Rv Park. Gated.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We stayed there 2 years ago. Thanks for the recommendations we will check it out the next time we are in the area.

[@kmessinger]

We travel with our dog, Scout. How do you survive with all the "Dog's Not Allowed" trails, stores, etc.? Do you leave Maggie alone?

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

A lot of times we don’t go but we do leave her sometimes. When we do leave her we leave the fan or AC on depending on the temperature. We don’t leave for very long periods.

[@steventoney4018]

a strange bird is the pelican.. it's beak can hold more than its belly can....

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

That is very strange, thanks for sharing.
