I love the variety of outdoor activities you post. Your channel isn't just about you hiking a trail day after day after day...... Thanks for your time and effort to bring us along!
I grew up south of there. So many folks have died in FLs spring cave systems over the years… just viewing your shot of looking down into that hole gave me the creeps. There’s one in Crystal River that’s claimed so many divers the state installed bars at its entrance. Your vids bring back my time exploring the same places in the 1970s & 80s. It’s so beautiful. You’re an interesting guide & I’m enjoying your videos. Onward!
Another great job. You are definitely one of the best travelers today. You are one tuff lady. I hope you never stop.
Awesome! Thanks for bringing us along!
This is my local river. I’ve watched many videos on the Chaz…this is the best I’ve found. Excellent representation, great job!! You’re video highlights the beauty of the area!!! Thank you.
What state is this in?
Florida.@@JosephMullin
That's some beautiful water! Florida definitely has it all!! Great Video!
What a beautiful video! I can’t believe how much stuff you guys did on this trip!!! Really enjoyed it. Thank you, Kelly…😊❤

Kelly,, it couldn't have come in a better time !!! I miss kayaking the springs ....thanks for taking me along !
Ok Kelly this thumbnail gets put at the top of my most liked thumbnails you have ever had!!😂❤
Djk35 💐🌹💐😘🥰💐🌹❤❤❤ are you single how old you are
Love your excitement when you're exploring someplace new!! You remind me of a little kid when they see something amazing for the first time. I agree with you about diving in the springs, no way in hell!! Great video, really enjoyed all sites and the animals. Thanks for bringing us along.
Absolutely beautiful scenery. Thanks!
The water looked so amazing.Thanks for sharing with us.❤
Liked the springs. I especially liked the bed and breakfast. My wife and I may try it when we visit Florida,
Delightful adventure! Love the springs in Florida
Great video Kelly!! Your best yet. Im so glad you're back in Florida. Love the springs so much, and that tiki bar was so cool. Keep up the good work!!😎
What a great time! Love you amazing content. Thank you for showing that our wonderful state is so much more than amusement parks. The beauty here is amazing. God bless. ❤
I need to buy a kayak! Thank you for showing us this gorgeous part of florida 💯
Crescent has what you need.
Awesome!! Those springs were very cool! Like the tour pace on your channel. 👍
great adventure and video . perfect timing as i was watching news that was nothing short of depressing . this and your adventures are a welcome get away for me . Keep Em Coming
So nice you stayed in touch with Sammy! The kayak trip was just magical. The drone footage was sweet! This was a great episode Kelly, the time flew too quickly. Take care ✌️
I have been to Homosassa with my Dad back around the 90's ? We saw the Manatees and got to see a rear bird called a Swallow- Tailed Kite ❤ You gave me a larger tour of the area. Thanks ! I very much enjoyed your tour 😊 P.S. The Flamingos were AWESOME ! 🥰🥰🥰
That kayak trip was awesome.
Okay that was COOL!!! I love kayaking and the springs were awesome! The shrimp looked delicious and now I want some. 😂
Great outdoor video ! Stay safe ,,,enjoy your life !
Kelly you got a chilled out and cool vibe. My 7 year old son loves watching your videos! rock on
Hi Kelly, I recently discovered your channel and have been going back and watching your Alaska, kayaking and Pinhoti vids. Enjoying them so much. Very cool to see a young person living the life they've determined best for them. I love to hike, bike, and kayak. After teaching school for 35 years, I recently retired, bought a camper van and am hiking, biking, and kayaking across our beautiful country. Anyway, you are an inspiration....even to us old codgers! Keep on hiking!
Great video, as usual! Im so amazed at all the springs in that state! I love how you always find the animals, dog at dog park, dog at restaurant..lol. looked like a great couple of days 👍
From a European here: Digestives are referring to (as you might have have understood) actual digestion of the stomach. It was made in the UK long ago to help aid digestion as they are packed with fibre. Since then they have been made with chocolate too, as yours. A little less healthy, but really good :) 👋
made in good ole scotland by a doctor lol
This looked amazing!
The Chaz is one of my favorite spots! If you keep going down, you'll run into some real old stilt houses which some folks still live in.
Great video, a mix of everything 😊
Very nice video! Thank you for sharing. I have been here my whole life and have not gone to the spring area of the river. Guess I need to put it on my bucket list for sure now.
Thanks for video kelly
I love those central Florida springs! I went scuba diving at KP Hole park and love it more than diving in salt water. The springs are Florida's secret gems.
I used to go there 1 week a year when in my teens.. so much fun. Me and the people I was with swam that exact hole. I was nervous too. When my younger brother did it I did too. You are exactly right though if to much trepidation don't do it. Thank you for this video. So many great memories:)
I love that place been there afew times.Thanks! your videos are the best!
Wow like the drone footage!!
Hi Kelly love those wild animals thank you Kelly for sharing this it’s Awesome and Amazing ❤😊
You've definitely produced a video that's worth watching until the end! I'm glad I did!
Great vid! Thanks!
Another awesome video thanks for sharing.
Cool adventures and good video. Love your little subtle mountain accent. 😊
I'm in awe of this place! Felt unreal, wow 😲 :0
Good job! Thank you for sharing your adventures. 😊
Thanks for the video 👍👍
Awesome spot, great for my Florida yet to visit spots list, great video!
That was awesome
Nice, those springs look so cool
Hi Kelly that’s so cool kayaking and the springs and the scenery is beautiful and Awesome Amazing 😊
Love your kayak, I found your channel a couple of years ago when I was shopping for one, got the same crescent ultralite and it is a joy to paddle.
That’s awesome!
I grew up going to the Homosassa River for spring break. Back then, Homosassa Springs was a privately owned attraction, not a state park. There are a number of rivers in FL you can canoe camp on. I've done that on the Blackwater and Coldwater Rivers near Penasacola, and on the Ecofina River near Panama City: I enjoyed the 3 day trip on the Blackwater River the best.
Hi, Kelly, you can always google tide chart for the Gulf of Mexico. Thank you maybe that will be our visit when we visit Florida again. Stay well
The Freezer! Been going there for years 😎
Been there many times. Beautiful place
Another great video... I am so excited to visit this location. Later this fall I am heading to New Port Richey, FL to see my dad. Woo hoo this place is not too far away. LOOKING FOR OTHER SUGGESTIONS on great things to do near Tampa, FL as well. Thanks!!
Cool adventure; thanks for taking us! Some Florida might be in my future!
Chazz is my favorite kayaking because it's old florida, I live 10min so frequent it a lot. There are spots no one gets to because its such a long paddle.
I've watched this 20 times now
12:10 amazing!
Extra nice video as always! ❤ That's quite interesting about the area. I've only been to Florida once and didn't really care for it but then again I love Pennsylvania and the mountains. 😅 Thanks for sharing!
Wow! I didn't know you were from Arkansas. Have you hiked the Ouachita Trail yet?!? I came down from New York state and we hiked it in 2021. It had the best constructed shelters of any trail I've ever been on. And the trail was very well maintained! 223 miles. You got to do it!
I’ve hiked sections but will do a thru likely next year!
love all your videos
Great trip, I love seven sisters.
Cool stuff thanks!
Love Your Channel,,Hello from Boston Ma👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Well that was cool 👍🏻
I am with you on the not swimming through the caves, i am claustrophobic also and just watching your friend do it gave me anxiety. But what an awesome trip.
I love the Chazz been there many times!
great vid ty
great video, water was wonderful... food looked so good.
Thanks. Great video. These are things I would do, as this is only a couple of hours from where I live. I cracked up when you said you ate 1.25 pounds of shrimp😂
Nice Springs! I like Ginny Springs because you can Scuba dive there. If you are Cave certified, you can Scuba some decent caves.
Awesome place 😊
very cool!
great video
Beautiful scenery 😉 I lived in Homosassa been to the Chaz many times.
You do the coolest shit!! I love your channel
Great job ladies
The Chaz is one of me favorite places, We spent over a month there 1 winter. great fishing too!
Great video and variety! Homossassa Springs Park is one of my favorite places. I always take the boat, too! Family also took us canoeing on the Chazz and we watched people cave diving. Very Cool, except for the jerk who was bullying his young son to do it. I felt bad for the little kid. Thanks for sharing. B and B looked sweet too.
I drive through Homosassa and Homosassa Springs all the time delivering Polaris off-road vehicles. US-19 is my favorite road I travel! From Perry Florida south has the most interesting places that I want to visit. So cool..😊
Nice Video! It looks like such a fun place to swim!
Great video, nicely done. The Freezer is the best! Mussels are hidden on the menu and are killer in the garlic butter.😎
Keep up the good videos
I've never even heard of that place I need to go there and check it out the next time I come out that way
Love the video.
I was just at Seven Sisters Spring a few weeks ago! I was mad at myself for not renting a kayak after seeing the water. Definitely going back. Nice footage!
Great vlog
Kelly…..just found your channel. I will have to check out more of your travels as I really liked this one. Love your filming and editing. Good to see a pretty young lady with no tattoos. Would love to meet you if you ever come to Oregon. Keep safe while traveling. Thanks for sharing.
❤ Hey Kelly, I love your video. You are such a sweetheart. I've been to the river before. Beautiful Florida for sure.😊❤
really great video
Great review.😍
I got to quite watching , makes me feel like a stocker. Thanks for sharing
Salad Bar 🤣
Best channel
That dont look nothing like the muddy water creeks we have in North Ga... awesome
Hey Kelly! I was the girl that went in the caves on your video. It was great meeting you all!
I have a friend that kayak races and has done really well, he keeps trying to get me to do it your water is so much more clear as Indiana
Here’s a little tip from experience about your cell phone. Put it in a small Ziploc freezer bag. It will stay dry and it will float.
