    Nice tour of the bike park and funny paddle board acquisition story (must make room in the van). South Florida is very hot and humid... big change from SoCal! That would definitely be difficult for Van life sleeping. It's nice to see you guys always having fun together and discovering new horizons.
    I wonder how long you guys will be able to survive in Florida before the weather pushes you away?

    You should check out Ginnie springs on the paddle boards! It's about a 40 minute drive from Santos. Also, grapefruit trails probably has the most jumps and drops packed into a small area. Highly recommended!

    Cool vid. Virginia Key def fun. Head a little north to Jupiter (just north of Palm Beach) and hit Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Mtb trails and then rent a little aluminum jon boat and go upriver on the Loxahatchee. Im telling you you’ll feel like you’re in Jurassic Park. Way cool.

      @@moandhannahtravel my son and I pre covid would go down to South Florida a couple of times a year from DC. If you want to check out more of natural FL in that area check out the Whiskey Creek Hideout at Dr Von D. Mizell Euna State Park in south Fort Lauderdale. It is a natural barrier island. No mtbing there but an amazing place to kayak or paddleboard on the Whiskey Creek among the mangroves, with a beach on the other side. The Hideout rents kayaks. You can watch the cruise and container ships go in and out of Port Lauderdale from the beach. And when lunchtime hits get something to eat and drink and imagine being a pirate at the Hideout. Go on a weekday and you’ll have the place practically to yourself. While in Jupiter a bit further north check out Jupiter Beach and DuBois Park and paddleboard or kayak around Burt Reynolds park and then cut across the intracoastal to an uninhabited island with a lagoon and little island in the middle of it. Great place to eat a prepacked lunch. Can rent a kayak from Blueline Surf and Paddle (awesome little surf shop) and get a drink on the water under tiki huts at Guanabanas. Then just up the road is Jonathan Dickinson. Damn I really miss the turquoise blue waters!! Keep having fun down there.

    Completely unrelated to mountain biking, but I have struggled with who Hannah reminded me of? Then I was watching an old 80's move Vise Versa and realized that the actress Corinna Bohrer played Sam in that movie is who Hannah reminded me of, fyi.
