    What a nice place! Poor Maggie her aren’t feeling good. Hope she ends up feeling better with the medicine. Glad you went to the bigger island. It’s beautiful! I’m loving this journey as well.

    Every year! When life is SO high stressed as you come over the bridge, all your problems melt away! We kayak on sandbags, shells everywhere; most occupied by Hermet crabs. I have unbelievable sunset pics. Water like the Bahamas. This place medicine for the Soul!!!

    Beautiful Area. Are you still liking the Ekko? hope so.. Golly you have confidence in those boats. Bless sweet Maggie, think the salt water would help her symptoms too.

      @VANTREKKINGlifestyle  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, we are still liking the Ekko. I’m not sure the salt water would help with Maggie’s symptoms, but she usually gets a bath after swimming in salt water.

    Nice Owen caught a fish! Sorry you had to put it back. We do that too leave if we don’t get waited on after a certain amount of time. Or acknowledge us being there. Can’t believe the other place wasn’t open. The Owl. Glad you found a place. I can tell Maggie had a great time as well as you both did on that island. Hope you have a great night and week and see you soon! Safe travels!

    Owen - you, Lynn and Maggie ARE my kind of exciting. :) The Panhandle is such a great part of Florida and the closer you get to Alabama, the food starts taking on Cajun influence. St. George Island SP looks like a super place camp with the trails and all that clear water. Hope your sweet Maggie is feeling much better now. Hugs for her and safe travels.

    We camped on St George Island last year and it was so nice to see it again. Three different sites is a chore but definitely worth it. We’re not water people so we enjoyed seeing the kayak trip to the island through your eyes. Sweet Maggie is always a joy to watch.

    Enjoyed the video. SGI is one of my favorite places. I have never been impressed with The Station either. I am sorry you didn’t get to eat at The Owl. It is usually the best in the area. Nice trout you caught. That would have been tasty had you kept it and cooked it. Thanks for carrying us along.

    • @VANTREKKINGlifestyle
      @VANTREKKINGlifestyle  ปีที่แล้ว

      We’ll have to try the Owl next time. When you catch that first fish you never know if you are going to catch another so Owen usually lets it go.

    Owen, that area is a great place - you're not far from one of my favorite camping/fishing spots. The little island you kayaked to is a great spot to fish - nice spec! Sorry about the bad experience at the station - I haven't eaten there but heard it's good. Hopefully a one-time thing. But there's lots of good seafood in the area and a great brewery (Oyster City) for those that like beers. Owl Tap Room is good when the cafe is closed. Small menu but food is really good.
    Question - do you guys still carry your Calm pop-up and do you use it?

    • @VANTREKKINGlifestyle
      @VANTREKKINGlifestyle  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for all the great suggestions. We do still carry our Clam, we use it when there are bugs or when we are going to stay in one spot for a longer period. We always bring it with us.

    No Happy Dance for the Station. We have noticed that when we got to be 60+ we had the Harry Potter invisibility cloaks on to young waitresses. Thats why we often sit at the restaurants bar where the bartender takes your order right away. Loved your private island adventure.

    I love Saint George Campground! I was there last month. I left and went back when more sites opened up. Watch Maggie with the snakes. I had a rattlesnake in my campsite I was two inches from stepping on it. It was cold and it did not rattle. You can take Maggie on the beach anywhere outside of the state park. I parked by the lighthouse and then took my dogs out to the beach. I would have loved to meet you both and Maggie looks like I missed you by a couple of weeks.

    • @VANTREKKINGlifestyle
      @VANTREKKINGlifestyle  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the warning about the rattlesnake, I would have expected it on the trail but not in your campsite. Also, thanks for letting us know dogs can go on the beach outside the SP, we’ll remember that when we go back.

      Maggie is a rescue that we found while we were hiking. She was a mess… the vet said it looked like she had lived most of her life on her own, after several hours of them pulling ticks off her and taking care of other things she belonged to us. She has been such a blessing to us.
