Nice to have a cold front. They go by a day or two.
We measurer winter by how many times you where long pants. 10 times is a cold winter 😃
You know someone's a Southerner when they say we had a "cold snap"! Makes me smile. Thanks for the great content!
I'm a local to be fair the average winter temperature is 75-80.
What a beautiful sky to end your day...
I’d love that wide open campsite where y’all saw the rocket launch. I’m sure you had a great view of the night sky.
Holy smokes!! I first learned about & heard of “Hey Cow!” from you in your AT videos 😂 and here we are again🤣🤣🤣
Glad you're having fun in Florida, my home state!
I’m still watching and taking notes. You taught me about foot tape today.
Thanks for bringing us along today. 2 things 1. I was wanting to do the Fl trail when I turn 70 in 2 years with my granddaughter. But the water walk I’ll have to think more on. 2. I would love to see a alligator in the wild so bad. When I go to disaster work with Samaritan purse in the southern states I always look for alligators or crocodiles. Happy Hiking 🥾🏕💕
I was down there from PA tent camping when that cold snap came through. Had ice on the truck when I woke up in Englewood!
Glad you are enjoying Florida and the incredible wildlife and diversity it has to offer. Even though it gets cold, it sure beats the snow to the north! Not sure if you remember, but we met when you were recovering at Home in the Woods in Blairsville, GA. My wife and i live about an hour from the Florida Trail southwest of Orlando, and would be happy to pick you up, fix meals, and drop you back off if you and friends want a break!
Getting to see that rocket launch in person had to be so cool!
Road trekking is brutal with a pack on; that extra weight goes right to the heels. You got some serious grit Kelly. Rock on ✌️
Glad to see you on some solid ground. That swamp trail was tiring me out from just watching. I saw it got to you noticeably, and understandably. Good to see you on better trail,.. 👍
Hey Kelly! Hey cow! Almost as classic as a quack! Shout out to Toasty, I hope you are well man! So many different creatures today. Better than some zoos I have been too lol Did you get your pad sorted out? Huge thanks to the church for the magic. Those road walks beat on your feet so much, I hope that blister stays happy. Can’t wait to see what comes next, this has been great to see! 🙏 Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well.
-Grateful
First time "seeing" the Florida Trail. Thanks for taking us along!
Happy Trails Keep on Truckin. God Bless
Hey Kelly glad u guys r doing well on yr hike, have to say u sure r a tough girl.. take care ❤😊
Glad you're enjoying your Florida Trail hike. No mountains, but plenty of gators, for sure. Hope that heel blister heals soon so as not to aggravate you too much on the onward trail. All the best!
That's pretty cool you got to see the rocket launch!
Nice hike
I’m enjoying your adventure so much! Be safe and have fun!
Love the videos. Makes me want to go hiking. 🥾🥾
If you look, you can't find wildlife in Florida. The hiking looked a little easier on this day but the wildlife was far more plentiful. Very cool you got to see and film a rocket launch. Not sure how much fun it is to walk with a broken blister on your heel though. You really do need to be tough to keep going.
First… I love your videos. And how nice is that for the church to take y’all in and feed you. What a blessing to hikers…. BUT DUDE don’t play around with their sound system. Those things are expensive. Show respect. That’s a good way to have the church stop taking in hikers. Best of luck ✌️
Those little birds that were flying around are Martins they are eating the mosquitoes and other bugs.
Tollerating pain seems to be a critical part of hiking. (Blisters, etc.). Takes a special person in multiple ways, in-order to endure this activity.
Looked like a nice day. Hope your blister healed up. Stay well and warm. We actually had frost here in North Florida when you had that cold snap. Did you get your pad fixed?
I woke up to a balmy 32 F one morning a while back and I thought nah it couldn't be because Kelly's hiking the Florida Trail. Nope Nope! 🙄🙄
Looks like a much easier part of the trail! I googled Billy Goat Day, are you going? I would definitely go to say hi to you. Or if you need a ride there, not sure what time I will get picked up from the cruise on the 28th. Hubby is picking me up, he will be leaving from north of Orlando.
READ THE BIBLE AND PRAY.....
ERRRRY DAY..... ❤️....
Shout out to the Pastor and his beautiful wife ! Being hospitable and living what they preach ❤️.....
God bless them and their ministry in Jesus precious name Father.....
That was very nice of the pastor and his wife. Do the gators not bother y’all at all. I would be scared they would see me and want to come after me lol
Hope you zip the tent up to keep the gators out.
Super trooper 💪
Here is a bit of positive information on the python problem in Florida. Pythons do not respond well to cold temps. Their natural habitat is tropical and the low temps you experienced in South Florida will kill most pythons that are not well insulated under ground. You should be safe from pythons but gators have adapted well to freezing temps so keep your guard up!
True!
So that was an Eastern Gartersnake, Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis, harmless species that feeds on frogs, lizards, and other small prey.
Greetings! New sub here. Really liking your content. I've been wondering what became of your leaky pad.
I hope the pythons don't make it up to my area of Florida...that was nice of the Pastor and his wife to take you guys in for a meal and a good night's sleep. I love the turquoise blue Florida skies when it is cold outside. Prescribed burns in the background I presume. The rocket shot is awesome I have been trying catch one on film when out camping so far it has alluded me.
How are you liking your new tent compared to Big Agnes?
I think if I saw a python, I'd be on a flight back to Montana.The rocket was cool though.
That sub looked great....the water snake not so much.
I would so be sleeping in that warm bathroom!
Lunch time n nap in the sun.
How many points did you get for the cows? 😂
When I visited Florida they were offering a bounty on pythons due to their invasiveness. Apparently they're creating a hybrid breed down there. Fun fun.
Thanks for bringing us along ❤️
Correct! There's way too many now. Their clutches can be 40-70 at a time. They're in a battle with Gators in the Everglades. The great thing is they die off in colder temps like we had for a few days here & there. They will stay well South because of that. I'm in Central Florida so not a problem for the rest of the state.
@@torrencel.2662 Right on. I am glad you're out of that fray.
30s in Florida wow I'm in the low 30s with snow on the ground in Ohio
You go girl!😊
No shame in yellow blazing with a hitch on the Florida Trail on those long road walks. Jus saying 😊
Hike strong girl! Thanks for the video.
geek
Enjoyed the video. Looks a lot better hiking than that swamp. Be safe out there. I sent you an email.
Is the church always open to hikers?
This year is the first they have been open to them! Pastors number is listed in FarOut, I would call ahead of time just to make sure :)
You can't have pie without Cool HWhip.
So I'm assuming you haven't been tempted to swim in any of the water so far? I can't imagine having to share my water sources with freaking alligators. Have fun!
to a Gator, humans taste like Chicken
don't feed the Gators
UGH! Snakes and gators ... good reasons to never go to Florida.
I know the gators are scary but the fire ants are totally evil😀
Wow she's got pretty sturdy legs.
Pythons aren’t venomous, so that’s good news lol
The most read bit of fiction the Bible is! So many authors!
Cold… 40° :)
I’m interested in, but not sold on the idea of hiking the Florida Trail. Following closely.
