What a beautiful sunset and that she’ll covered beach must have made for a perfect evening. Happy to see you grilling again we will have to give those pizzas a try here at home on on the road . Lastly I’m alway happy to see you use a feature of the Revel the rear shower must be so handy in those situations. Great video and love the music you incorporate into it . Take care see you next week.
The pizza’s are a great simple meal to cook on the road. The evening at the beach enjoying the sunset and looking for shells was one of my favorites. The rear shower came in real handy for Maggie’s bath I can see a lot of good uses for it already. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thanks for the suggestion. We love Fort Desoto, we have spent several day trips there but never camped there. It’s pretty hard to get into, we also try.
Okay we are in Jacksonville Florida at Peacan Park RV Resort, and after watching your last video we just made the barbecue chicken pizza it was definitely a dance pizza thanks for the idea. Cliff and Denise from Sanford NC
That Nokomis Beach sunset was just glorious! You found my happy place! Really great video, Owen. That pizza looked delicious and never thought of using tortilla shells. They sounded like they were crispy and were a nice thin pizza like texture. Happy Dance, indeed! Enjoy your bonus week in Florida, you guys
Thank you sweet friend. Pizza was good and that’s our happy place too. Sunsets and sunrises... we all have a finite number of them to experience in our days here and the good ones take our breaths away every time. Hope you have a good week!
Since you come to fla so much you all need to do the Sunrise Sunset challenge. to do it you have to watch the sun come up on east coast and then watch it go down on the west coast all within the same day. I have watched it come up, go down and come up again in 24 hrs. (I was moving coast to coast) but I made sure I did it. When you do it you become one of us. My least favorite State park is the Koreshan. Sand fleas are terrible there. just sayin. Thanks for the video once again.
Great video! I always very much enjoy Sundays with you guys. I've spent alot of time in the Jupiter area.. you will certainly enjoy Jonathan Dickson State Park. Beautiful area.
Thanks so much for this sweet peek into the nature I love! I'm sitting in a luxuriously sunny place in my home in Pennsylvania as I enjoy this episode, but it is 36 degrees out!! I so much enjoyed this one. Love & Prayers.
Next time you're in the Venice area you must visit Snook Haven, it's a restaurant that has outdoor live entertainment, Owen, you will absolutely love it! It's back in the sticks located right on the Myakka River.
Thank you for sharing your Florida travels! We are taking notes on each of your episodes! We would love to see how you both get in & out of your kayaks. We are considering inflatable or kit kayaks. We just don’t know how to get in / out!! Thank you!!
We will try to show getting into kayaks, it’s not hard just pull the kayak out in the water so the boat is not touching the bottom but just barely and from one side sit down on the seat so you are sideways and then put your legs in one at a time same thing getting out but backwards, put your legs in the water first one at a time then stand up. I hope this helps. I do think you can do it, it just takes some practice.
After last week think I would doing the "happy dance" for the private sites, lol. Beautiful parks and sweet you gave Maggie a special day at the beach. Looking forward to seeing the parks next week!
We were pretty excited about the private sites, you just never know what you’re going to get the first time you go some where. We love making Maggie happy, it makes us happy too.
I love your videos. That sunset was incredible nice touch with the sail boat. Gosh. I love sweet baby rays they have a spicy version that is delicious with just a hint of heat. That pizza looks delicious. It is so nice to see the dogs having a good time in the water. You all are starting to look tanned and happy. Be safe and enjoy the journey.
Good job, as always! Florida needs to pay y’all for the good PR for our state parks! You never disappoint with the information you provide and the glimpse you give into your lifestyle. You are proof that having a good time and fun doesn’t have to blow your socks off. Just living life, walking Maggie, watching a sunset you’ll never forget and cooking pizza on the griddle can make for a great day. Can’t ask for more than that! Enjoy the rest of your stay in Florida. Looking forward to next week’s episode. 😀
We so love your state parks and we’re glad we get to showcase some of them. We’re getting pretty close to being able to say we’ve been to all of them, which is something that even most who live in Florida cannot say. That might mean we’re a little crazy though. ❤️
We felt the same way about Oscar Scherer, but the biggest surprise was Kissimmee Lake. One problem we had at one site at Lake Kissimmee was White Marked Tusset Caterpillars. They were dropping out of the trees and covered everything. Only there for two weeks and they are gone. Those jokers will sting you and Park Service had signs everywhere showing them and warning people about the sting ! But we had deer and turkey in the campsite!!! Another great video
We were pretty excited about extending our Florida adventures especially since we get to stay at some new places that we’ve always wanted to stay at. Happy tails for all of us.
Another wonderful video. We look forward to your videos every Sunday morning. Been subscribers since you first got the Travato. Hope we have as much fun as you do when my wife and I retire , not that we just sit around, in the meantime. 😁
Thank you so much for following along on our adventures we appreciate your continued support. You are right you don’t have to wait until you retire to start your adventure.
Everything is beautiful as always, but most precious is watching you gambol around the beach with your fur baby. That you make her enjoyment a priority leaves a warm glow in my heart. Happy tails!
Great video as always! Great job securing hard to get sites! Great folks like you two deserve to get lucky with last minute sites! Keep enjoying and stay safe out there! 😎
We went to the Bonita Beach dog beach several times when we were staying in Sanibel. It was so much fun. Looks like Maggie loved it too. Biscuit had a blast and did great swimming. The only off-leash beach around. Other Bonita Beaches are beautiful but do not allow dogs at all. Sanibel does on most beaches but they must be leashed. That pizza on the tortillas looks good for camping. At home, I use the 15-minute two-ingredient pizza dough made with yogurt and self-rising flour, but the tortillas make so much sense camping.
I didn’t realize Sanibel allowed dogs on the beach, that is good to know. Maggie loves the beach and being off leash was a bonus. Your pizza dough sounds interesting, I would love the recipe, tortillas do make it a lot simpler.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle Super easy! You will need a dome for the griddle or you can make one with a foil pan. Just mix 1 cup of Self-rising flour and 1 cup GREEK yogurt. (For one pizza) Stir till it forms a ball. You might need to add a tiny bit more flour to form a ball. Then roll out to a pizza shape that will fit under your dome. Put a little oil on the griddle and you bake it the same way you do your tortilla pizza. Brown it, then flip and top. Watch my video here: th-cam.com/video/lxK8LbNN-jg/w-d-xo.html
Be sure to check out Nokomis beach you are very close. Maybe also checkout Venice pier. Private Ranch in Myakka City always a open invitation for you guys.
Nokomis was the beach where we filmed the sunset, it was beautiful. We will put the Venice pier on the list for next time. Private Ranch sounds really nice too, thanks for the invitation.
Hey wish we’d known about the invitation for private ranch. We did check out Nokomis Beach... that’s where the first sunset was captured. We were there during a drum circle evening too.
This summer... maybe... nothern... not sure yet. Next summer... yes... if COVID lets us go on our planned Newfoundland trip. We hope to work out a trip west this spring and early summer but nothing locked in yet.
Oh boy is it good to see home. I can not tell you how much it warms my heart to see my home town being discovered by y'all. I get to see things from a fresh perspective and it's made me cry happy tears because I miss home so much. Home town happiness can be a good thing. There aren't any beaches any where close to where I live now, but that's ok. Love your fresh take on Florida and the beautiful places you visit. Watch out for the sand fleas. They bite like a skeeters but they're almost invisible. Have a blast and keep on trekking
Glad we were able to share your hometown with you and I’m glad it brought back happy memories. We absolutely loved this area and will definitely go back. Thank goodness we didn’t experience any sand fleas this time.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle we drove a short distance and paddled on the Myakka River. Several others were there and let us know about alligators. We saw many alligators, large and small. Great paddling but not dog friendly.
We stayed at Buck Hall campground north of Charleston on the Intracoastal Water way. Bugs tried to eat us up. Head to Cherry Point tomorrow, then Cape Hatteras before the turn west and follow I 40 back to Arkansas.
Florida really is getting better and better. Great review of the parks. You think Maggie is missing Ember when she is able to play in the water with other dogs? You guys got luck on your side when booking.👍 Love the bloopers. Stay safe guys. ❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!
We have been very lucky when booking. This year there have been more cancellations due to covid travel restrictions so in some ways it’s been easier. We all miss Ember but Maggie sticks pretty close to us at any dog park. I think she thinks we should get a dog since we don’t have one. 😂
You are staying at all our favorite parks. Oscar Scherer is 70 minutes from our home. We were there several months ago. The Legacy bike trail is behind the park and you can ride S to Venice and N to Sarasota. Great restaurants in Venice too. . I don’t know if you’re aware of Lake Louisa State Park Outside of Clermont in central Fl. Great trails, kayaking and fishing. We were there last month. Happy trails
Wow! 70 miles! We’d wear that place out if we were that close. During our next trip it will be a pinned location... meaning we want to spend at least 3 nights there. That bike trail would have been awesome but we ran out of time with just one night.
I love this video! The happy dance was in it which made me happy and loved how you made pizza on the griddle. Loved the oaths you were at and the fact Maggie had fun in the water. And cute you gave her a bath with the outdoor shower. Can’t wait until I see more video of the places where you are going. Good you’ll be getting the Revel fixed soon! See you next week. Stay safe and safe travels.
Wow you guys were 3 miles from us here on Ft. Myers Beach when you were at the dog beach! We may have even seen your van! Goodness! One of these days we gotta meet you guys! 🤙
It was very tender to see you enjoy Oscar Scherer State Park - we had a wonderful week there around New Year about 20 years ago, in a rented tent trailer. Great memories, thanks!
Cool, we visited and Camped at Boyd's Rv Park back in January and rode our ebikes everyday downtown to Mallory Square. It was a blast. Great bike paths and maneuvering downtown was a chinch. We have 2 dogs they were just fine in Motorhome while we explored.
Always enjoy your fantastic adventures and the scenery which is so beautiful and at times awesome . As you both know there is numerous things that bring joy and happiness in each of your videos. I want to thank you for sharing this with me. As always BS & BK .
Our pleasure dear friend! Thanks for being a constant reminder to smile, be safe and be kind... and be grateful for friends like you who stay with us through thick or thin times. We do appreciate seeing you show up every week... means a lot to us.
The sunset was so beautiful with ocean waves and sailboats!!! Question: How do you handle your mail while you are away from home? The US Postal Service will only hold mail for 30 days, and we don't want to impose on our friends/family. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the sunset... it was even prettier in person. During this trip we held the mail for the 30 days and then at midnight setup another 30 days. We love our two mail carriers and they know our situation and leave it at the PO until we get back and turn off the hold. For longer trips we do a temporary change of address to have our mail sent to our daughter’s home. They text pics of important things and just trash junk mail. And... we hardly get any mail at all. Everything we have is setup to manage online. But one thing that pops up are toll invoices tied to our tags when we don’t have an account to the state we’re passing through. Hope this helps.
Thank you for showing more about Floria. I find the reasons why Californians don't want to move to anywhere, even though the state charges high taxes....
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle I go offshore fishing 80% of the time out of Sebastian. I sold that dolphin I'm holding in my avatar to Hiram's. Eat fresh Mahi for free, live music on the water, perfect atmosphere. 👍 It's a good life.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle Tonight we tried two tortillas with cheese stuffed between them. You are right! This style is even better. Van pizza is a favorite and a regular on our menu.
Not recently. We’ll take another look. We’ve seen some pretty “interesting” setups with those mounts... like a 14-foot kayak sticking maybe 4 feet above a van. I know me... we’d forget it was there and wipe out a tree or a bridge. 😂
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle Ha! I’ve seen those really long ones going down the road too and had the same thought. I can get my teenky 10.5 kayak and my non electric bike in the ‘garage’ of my 22xg cross trek, but if any one goes with me I would need another option. I am considering the Yakup with the swing arm for those trips.
I love hearing the birds singing in the background.
Those little guys were LOUD! 😂
What a beautiful sunset and that she’ll covered beach must have made for a perfect evening. Happy to see you grilling again we will have to give those pizzas a try here at home on on the road . Lastly I’m alway happy to see you use a feature of the Revel the rear shower must be so handy in those situations. Great video and love the music you incorporate into it .

You certainly scored!
Yes we did, thanks for watching.
While you're on the west coast of Florida you might want to check out Fort Desoto camp grounds.
Thanks for the suggestion. We love Fort Desoto, we have spent several day trips there but never camped there. It’s pretty hard to get into, we also try.
Okay we are in Jacksonville Florida at Peacan Park RV Resort, and after watching your last video we just made the barbecue chicken pizza it was definitely a dance pizza thanks for the idea. Cliff and Denise from Sanford NC

It was a strange place for sure. We appreciate you watching.

For longer trips we do a temporary change of address to have our mail sent to our daughter’s home. They text pics of important things and just trash junk mail. And... we hardly get any mail at all. Everything we have is setup to manage online. But one thing that pops up are toll invoices tied to our tags when we don’t have an account to the state we’re passing through. Hope this helps.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle Good idea! I will definitely check into this hold. Thank you very much!!!
Fun times, and thank you so much for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for showing more about Floria. I find the reasons why Californians don't want to move to anywhere, even though the state charges high taxes....
You are so welcome, we appreciate you watching and commenting.
I live 15 minutes from Sebastian Inlet. Captain Hiram's, Baby!
Hey... Sebastian’s Inlet... that’s a treasure. We’ll add Captain Hiram’s to our list! Thanks!

I go offshore fishing 80% of the time out of Sebastian. I sold that dolphin I'm holding in my avatar to Hiram's. Eat fresh Mahi for free, live music on the water, perfect atmosphere. 👍
It's a good life.
Got to remember that dog beach. I loved watching Maggie play in the water!
The dog beach was awesome, it’s a place we will always go back to when we are in the area.
Beautiful sunset. I love that they have a section of beach dedicated for dogs. Thanks for the videos. I look forward to them each week.
We loved this area, and the beaches were exceptional, both the dog beach and people beach. Thanks so much for watching.
Tonight we made pizzas with tortillas. Great! Thanks for the idea!
Awesome!!! You may want to try layering two tortillas with cheese stuffed between them for the crust too. We have done that and it’s even better. 😋
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle Tonight we tried two tortillas with cheese stuffed between them. You are right! This style is even better. Van pizza is a favorite and a regular on our menu.
Great video. Maggie had a blast.
Yes she did! Her favorite spot on this trip so far!
Have you ever considered a trailer hitch vertical kayak carrier, like Yakups?
Not recently. We’ll take another look. We’ve seen some pretty “interesting” setups with those mounts... like a 14-foot kayak sticking maybe 4 feet above a van. I know me... we’d forget it was there and wipe out a tree or a bridge. 😂
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle Ha! I’ve seen those really long ones going down the road too and had the same thought. I can get my teenky 10.5 kayak and my non electric bike in the ‘garage’ of my 22xg cross trek, but if any one goes with me I would need another option. I am considering the Yakup with the swing arm for those trips.
You guys are having a great time and so is Maggie she loves it.
We always try to make sure Maggie has a good time too. I think she does.
Blackstone should sponsor you guys!
If they’re watching we’d love that! 😂
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle I would definitely put them in your keywords!
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
