[@ursinidaho]

Dinner looked amazing! I really enjoy your videos. I especially like the way that you do many different activities and are adaptable. I wish you a wonderful year ahead with excellent health, happy joyful minds, and abundance. Thanks for showing us the beauty of America.

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks, that means a lot!

[@steady3459]

Good job on those Tacos, and your cooking looks Yummy ! 🎉😗😆🤪✌️

[@CodyandKellie]

We appreciate the compliment

[@snowbirdlady7221]

A great video this week Kellie and Cody! Those bignets (I have no idea how to spell it). I would have to dump most of that powdered sugar off. The cave was fascinating. It doesn't matter how many you have seen, each one is amazing. Glad you are staying safe on your travels!

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Pugtimes]

Great videos 😊 ❤ the lifestyle you’ve chosen 👍😎

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you! Thanks for following our journey

[@sharonbelair2462]

My husband and I had an 11 ft slide in truck camper by hornet and we had it for about 4 or 5 years and then graduated up to a class C and finally a Class A but we absolutely loved our little truck camper. It's served us well traveled down the East Coast down to Texas a couple of times and back up through Louisiana stayed in a state park on the North shore of Lake Pontchartrain, Fairview Riverside then went through Mississippi the Carolinas the Virginia's Pennsylvania and back home to Buffalo New York. Seeing your truck camper brings back such wonderful memories. Happy trails

[@CodyandKellie]

Sounds like you’ve had some great adventures!

[@freedomontheloose]

Always fun watching your travels! Great video! Thanks for sharing and safe travels!

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks for watching!

[@kearnsey64]

I busted out laughing when you were eating the sugar coated treats, Cody had this look of guilt on his face! It just struck me funny!! 🤣

[@TrimansWife]

We stayed at The Caverns a few days on our way to the Blue Ridge mountains. Such a cool place!! Floridian here and it was my first visit there!

[@alicegunn3970]

All I have to say.. and I said it before is.. Kellie's meals look so delicious.. Thank you for another wonderful adventure filled video.. loved the caverns

[@CodyandKellie]

We’re glad you enjoyed the video!

[@linnshock64]

I admire the cooking skills, and your choice of adventures is just amazing. I love following along

[@CodyandKellie]

We are glad you enjoy the content!

[@rayfoor51]

So glad you enjoyed the caverns, I’ve been a resident volunteer there for the past 3 months… great park.

[@jeaniegobin1375]

Thank you Cody and Kellie. What a wonderful adventure. While you are in Florida you should check out some orchards I think lemons and limes and such are in season right now. I would love to see that or even a garden tour of some kind. Anyway I'm just dreaming of what I would do if I was there. Take care and may God continue to bless you both . Thank you again I truly enjoy all of your videos. I'm still watching old ones from 4 and 5 years ago. You are a KZbin blessing.

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks so much!

[@BlessedPrepper70]

Love watching you guys I’ve got to go back to work, but I’m gonna let the video play and let the ads run through while I’m gone, good call on asking where the bathroom was at the restaurant for Kellie. That’s exactly what I would’ve done for my wife,but I busted you out on the carousel bar , bc when they slid the second drink up, there was the first empty drink that got pushed out of the way,,and you said I’ll only have one , lol , very funny but I’m cool with that. We love you guys ❤so much. Keep putting out the good videos.

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks for supporting the channel!

[@davidoden]

I just got done watching. Love the caverns

[@jenniferfisher530]

I remember when McDonald's used beef fat to fry potatoes. It came in 50 pound boxes Made the best 🍟

[@MackMoore-q2n]

Fun fun fun heading south on the run. When the panhandle gets that much snow and they have frozen pipes it’s time for the Keys and don’t look back . Really have enjoyed the travels and the food can’t wait for more☮️out my friends.

[@Steph_W]

That course you took to get to FL, is the line that that snowstorm hit. You’all just made it. 😊

[@CodyandKellie]

We got lucky!

[@chritinekerr1569]

Thanks for the great video. Proper camping,cooking and a nice long one. Great to see a bit of very thing. Not very one can afford to go to restaurants all the time. I hope you can make more like this one. Take care Chrissy

[@greysfreak1992]

😂😂😂 me in Alabama having dealt with the snow storm we got. The one year we didn’t go to Arizona for winter 😂😂..

[@CodyandKellie]

I think it’s pretty cold there as well. Just saw some folks post a photo with jackets on. We are now in shorts and sandals

[@BigV96220]

Omgosh I love you both 💓 I have been with you both when you ditched the Sticks an Bricks and went of all places into a Tent but since following you for this amount and what you guys have done ,AMAZING ✔️ ❤️ 💙 GODBLESS you both for a Really great ride so far ,🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤from Me V Australia 🇦🇺

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you for supporting our journey

[@Arlene8134]

Tampa natives here and hubby and I spent many tent camping trips at Simmons Park in our 20’s! So much fun! You are on Tampa Bay so it’s salt water. You will hear mullet jumping out of the water. Tons of raccoons so lock and strap down your coolers. 😂

[@CodyandKellie]

We saw so many raccoons!

[@S3thousand]

I saw more snow last Tuesday here in Houston than I've ever seen in my life. It was fun. Except cleaning swimming pools was tough at 7 am being so cold. 🥶

[@Tiffsolstice]

Such a relief to see y’all. Thank you. Y’all make me feel so less stressed, sad, angry, anxious, horrible. I’m starting to cry bc these last couple of weeks w the bs in this country….. killing me. Cody you so have a doppelgänger in a friend, ex-co-worker of mine who’s from Tenn. you look so similar & the southern accent…makes me smile. It has a little too much fun on the illegal substance side, but as a man he is quality. The care for and decency as a human man for his lady is so nice, refreshing to see. Esp w the disgusting example presented at 1600 Penn. Ave. ……I just got addicted to YT a couple years ago and the few channels I truely love and follow r slowing or coming to an end and it’s nice to see y’all r still around. I need ya. I’m needing this type of life and I just learned how y’all got to this life. I’m waiting on my commitment to my elderly animals to end so I go adventure. Thank you for being good adventurous humans and sharing. I’m from SE Va, on the water, living in toxic Denver desperately missing warmth, water and something different. Keep them coming. I’ve been taking notes of places I wanna go. Thank u and safe travels. 😊

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks for watching! Hang in there and hopefully our videos can put a smile on your face

[@sportstyler50]

Crazy it snowed in Louisiana and Florida . Great video !

[@marshastroup5095]

When I fry my corn taco shells, I put the meat in beforehand, fold it closed then fry on each side. 👍🏻

[@CodyandKellie]

That sounds like a great idea!

[@anneursell5911]

Loved your video. Im about to sell my pop up now that my kids are grown. Was considering a campervan but I think you changed my mind to a truck camper! Thx

[@CodyandKellie]

Truck campers are a great option, we love ours!

[@azdesertrat9104]

I'm with Cody on the shoes thing - I MISS FLIPFLOPS! And Cody tearing up just after trying that gumbo soup started is very convincing that I now need to go to New Orleans just to try out that restaurant! 😂

[@koalabear6722]

Very nice! Yep, Fl can get cold. 😊I would have Taken a bag of those with me for the road 😋 Fl caverns are so cool! Great cooking! 😊..sweet dreams 😴

[@lisasescapades]

We have lots of caves in Florida. Most are under water so you need scuba license but I just made a video on the dry caves in withlacoochee state forest. Dames cave and Peace Cave.

[@TrimansWife]

I live in Sumter county - near the river. Not sure where the caves are? What county?

[@teslah2997]

I grew up in N.O…..I haven’t been there in many years, but I still miss the food

[@amyhart2295]

Awe yall came through my area. We started watching yall when you went to the global wildlife down here. I really enjoy watching yall

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks for watching!

[@jilletha833]

I want the donuts, the breakfast sandwiches, and the tacos! Very good video! ✨❤️

[@Gigis5]

I was watching Cody bite in to the Benoit's and my Internet went out mid bite 😊

[@CodyandKellie]

Oh no!

[@dianajones7999]

The cavern tour was awesome ! Great guide !!!!

[@debbyrymer9298]

I had a great time with you guys as usual I hope you don’t get into the crazy snowy weather in the Deep South ❤

[@codihatfield7812]

Yall were in my hometown! Marianna!

[@tentingaroundflorida]

We got 10 inches of snow in Crestview fl. It was a mess. I did a video on the caverns it's fun but the camp ground is so hot. There is white water kayaking near there also

[@Unhinged_Adventures_Nomads]

Yes! We are very close to crestview the Florida panhandle is our homebase. That snow was crazy!

[@tjoy7674]

There is also a really cold spring not too far from the caverns.

[@elainelovig8103]

Have missed you! Welcome back.

The restaurant in the same Hotel as the Carousel bar has the best Jazz brunch in the city in my option. Get the Beignets that come with a house sweet sauce and egg Benedicts. So good!

“He works out” LOL all those CCC guys look the same, all across the country.

[@luckystamper]

We find when traveling TX to FL through LA the roads are crazy bumpy, everything rattles in the RV.

[@CodyandKellie]

It’s terrible

[@wendyrobertson-c6m]

Yes there are more caverns, but most are under water. Look for Florida's tallest fall. It goes into an underground sink hole that has 1 hour swim times but beware it's very cold water.😊

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks for the info

[@blindblow]

You are killing me smalls

[@silvanus1983]

Louisiana roads will do it,lol. Home state but hope to move Arkansas soon.

[@commonsense246]

You make tacos the same way I do Kellie, except I gotta have my lettuce/tomatoes and then salsa

[@alexs3447]

great food guys.stay safe

[@TeresaGlidewell-b7e]

Y'all should visit Mammoth Cave in Kentucky...it's all that if you're into caves

[@CodyandKellie]

Ok!

[@Darnabymom]

Hope you all continued to dodge the snow. It’s going to be in the 60s next weekend here in OK…but just for 2 days. You all know how it goes. It’s so good to see you all out on the road again. Glad your neck is better! 🥰 Caverns in FL 😱 Sweet last campground. Great to know!!! Do you all ever use Boondockers Welcome? We just joined and I’m pretty excited about it. We also joined HH, but I could see how that might limit the type of travels you all do with extra costs. Tallow is da best!!!❤

[@CodyandKellie]

We have not tried Boondockers Welcome. We did sign up for Harvest Host and didn’t use it enough to justify paying an annual fee

[@Darnabymom]

@ yea, it doesn’t seem like a good fit for you all. BW I think is only $50. Well worth the price in my book, even if it was twice that.

[@Darnabymom]

@ There is no fees with BW ❤️…unless the host offers electricity &/or water and states the fee.

[@carolyn8671]

Great video!

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks!

[@carolyn8671]

@ The caverns were neat and New Orleans brought back memories from a trip I made there.

[@LindyFrizzell]

We will definitely try that restaurant next time we are down there. Looks really good. The best Creole and Cajun food is not in the FQ as far as we are concerned but there are some there that still are good. The best I think in the FQ is Tujague's.

[@teresacrounse5414]

OMG You two were camping at Newport Campground which is 30 minutes from our home. We welcome you to come here anytime you're passing through. Camp for free!

[@CodyandKellie]

We appreciate that, thanks!

[@heatherpalmer2257]

I would love for you to come to Ft Lauderdale

[@strangeweenieclown]

Howdy, N'awlins foodie here! I'm there about 2-3 times a year visiting family, and almost all we do is EAT! Next time y'all end up that close to Audubon Zoo, you should go check it out! Beautiful zoo! Also close-ish to the zoo and to Brightsen's is Picnic Provisions and Whiskey, voted best fried chicken in New Orleans and also has one of the best burgers I've ever had. Next time you're in/near the Quarter I also highly recommend Jimmy J's, Mona Lisa, Deanie's, and Sylvain. ALSO if you're in Metairie again (yes, I could tell which Cafe du Monde you were at 🤣) try Zea near the Target, specifically the Thai ribs, rotisserie chicken, Asian almond shrimp, and corn grits. LIFE CHANGING!!!

[@CodyandKellie]

Wow thanks for all the suggestions! We will have to check them out next time.

[@mitziblevins986]

The next time you're in Florida fish off an old wooden Pier that has the old wooden pilings underneath it. The oysters that are on the pilings is what the sheepshead eat. They're not really that hard to catch but they are delicious to eat!

[@CodyandKellie]

That's a great tip, thanks!

[@lesliehernandez388]

If y’all are still in the big bend of Florida yall should stop by and let my wife and I take y’all fishing. We have a camper hook up. We live in Steinhatchee Florida. We love y’all’s videos.

[@CodyandKellie]

We’re in south Florida now

[@gwenwallace6175]

Easy inexpensive neck back issue? Two tennis balls in a sock, to keep them from escaping! Works in a pinch! Not as good as a massage but… Also, Mothers is a great unpretentious place to eat in N.O…. LOVE watching y’all partake of amazing great food in N.O./La! Nothing comes close to it in the US IMO…gumbo with a thin roux and beignets….cant go wrong!! Hope y’all, post a video of the historic snow storm!!

We have a ball a chiropractor gave us just for the instance we cannot get to a chiropractor

[@janelbrady5342]

Nice video of New Orleans. I love a good turkey sandwich and yours looked so good. Have you ever made a turkey, Swiss pesto panini sandwich? If so what is your version?

[@CodyandKellie]

No but I do make pesto, mozzarella, and Roma tomatoes grilled cheese

[@joewhitaker7343]

Hey Cody & Kellie, I just saw that you went through Baton Rouge before heading to Florida. If you guys are ever back in this area, We have a place just North of Baton Rouge in Woodville, Ms and you all are welcome to camp on a private lake we own. We have a truck camper also and follow your KZbin channel. I’m pretty sure we saw y’all, I think in Savanna, Ga last year as we went bye on the hop on hop off bus. Anyway, just letting you know, you have an open invitation. Joe and Linda W
