    Thank you for your videos. We had a 2013 Winnebago View that we sold last year due to my husband having several hospitalizations and continued health problems. He is doing pretty well, but our goal to get in the motor home and travel the US with our dogs will not happen. Our last Newfoundland died of old age January 2022 and he just can’t do it anymore. However we can travel with you two. We enjoy your videos SO MUCH. Thank you!

      Thanks, Maria! We are slowing way down once we get out west, and most of our travel days are only a couple hours between parks. Getting burned out is a concern with a route like this, but we'll try our best to avoid it! 👍 -Howard

    Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate the insightful interviews with park curators. I often get amoxicillin for chronic bronchitis so it's kinda cool to learn that this creature, that doesn't resemble people at all, can also benefit from the same treatment. Also, y'all clearly made it a point to gather footage of what you're talking about and I appreciate that extra show and tell. Looking forward to checking out your videos for my next park!

    If it’s turquoise water, I’m all in. :) Biscayne is a beautiful park and a great place to learn about the importance of the mangroves, to prevent erosion and provide hurricane protection, and a baby fish and lobster nursery. I’m sorry you only had a few minutes in the water because it’s so incredible to see all that infant marine life up close. Key Largo (a little further South) was where I obtained my scuba certification, so all of the Keys from the top to the very bottom are near and dear to my heart. Thanks for sharing & enjoy the Keys!

    • @NewstateNomads

    Really enjoyed your video. I am hoping you can do a separate video on your process to get a filming permit for this location. Loved the content but a video of our experience is not something we can easily share anymore without following the rules imposed by the National Parks. 😞

    We ran into weather issues at Biscayne last week as well. Gail force winds and pouring rain drove us back for shelter as we walked the board walk. All tours were canceled that day.

      We've heard that about Biscayne (and Dry Tortugas) in the winter! Particularly for snorkeling, late spring and summer are best, but that would have been almost impossible for our route with all the parks this year. Thanks for watching and glad you're along for the journey! 👍 -Howard

    Sorry your trip got cut short! You made the best of it. We enjoyed our day out in Biscayne. How are you dealing with the NP rules of not being able to “film” in the NPs? We keep hearing they are cracking down.

    • @NewstateNomads
      @NewstateNomads  Рік тому +1

      Thanks so much! We were glad we still got out on the water, even if for a little while. It really is beautiful there! Just to clarify, filming is allowed WITH a permit. We apply for permits with every National Park (hello spreadsheets!) and so far it has been a pretty straightforward process. Some parks have even responded with "no permit is necessary for your planned activity" and told us to enjoy the parks! Each NP has different lead times and application fees, but we've found that if you can provide as much detail to them as possible, it helps a lot!
