    You've inspired me to get out and explore. Can't wait to get my jetski to start exploring FL. Thanks for making the videos.

      Another excellent video Bob. I love when people discover and show the natural beauty our state provides - there’s a lot more here than just a mouse and a castle. Okay - so, we natives call those things sand boils, although pretty much of the country calls them water boils (which to me makes them sound like they’d be really hot and boiling which they aren’t). I know you’ve been to Silver Glen a couple of times - if you walk the nature trail, or just swim-walk up the little stream upstream from the springs, you’ll see a ton of those things - nowadays, it’s all fenced off on the trail, but when I was there, myself and everyone else just hopped the little fence to play in the sand boils (used to be no fence). Here’s interesting trivia that I had to teach my new-to-Florida friends and girlfriends every time we’d visit sand boils (you probably know this). You can climb in, but no matter how tall you are, how long your legs are, etc. - you’ll only sink up to your waste which, I’m told, is the same as quicksand - you don’t sink down over your head like in the movies where only your hat is left floating to tell people of your demise (I think that was also a “Gillian’s Island” episode as well). Take care Bob and thanks for another video episode.

      @@InCaveEntertainment Hahahahahahhaha... As you know I just stuck by hand in and I HAVE thought about going back and experimenting further... I did a Facebook reel on the video snippet and it has over 500K views... it probably would have been funnier to have the last thing seen is my hat floating on the water vent as you mention. But I never stage stuff...it is just how it happens.... I will take resp for a slight click bait hook with the word Quicksand in the thumbnail, but who does not like a little quicksand in their life! hahahhaha. I appreciate your knowledgeable comments and thanks for watching as always... I am glad we stopped there as the water levels on the Santa Fe and Inche. were too low to do total exploration.

    Nice way to vicariously witness another great adventure for you on a very cold, windy morning here in New England. Loved the reflections of the bridges in the calm water. Biked here earlier. Snow flurries with 25-30 mph wind gusts. Thanks for the share!

    Bob, love your videos. I wish I could do same adventures but afraid to do alone. Do you know of groups or forums you recommend to find peeps to join? Alone here ready to jet ski

    • @BobBroeking
      @BobBroeking  Рік тому +1

      I think it starts with getting into your local ski scene and find people around you and then out on a couple of skis with different groups or people and then find who you like skiing with and then form a friendship/partnership. You can also post on the FB forums for skiing where you are and plan a trip and ask for folks to join you. All of my trips give all the information needed to be repeated. Bob

      @@scottmcdaniel6468 yeah I had a friend who lives in TN stop by to see me after attending a BMW motorcycle rally about 100 miles away. As he pulled into my garage on his RT I had a momentary twinge to get back on a motorcycle. A ski is very similar for me and maybe just maybe a bit safer… maybe… 😳😎
