    Great vid. It brings back memories of my first hike/campout when I was 9 years old. We left Shawnee Okla. and drove to Talihina, OK, and then to the Ouachita National Forest to set up camp and do some hiking. That was 62 years ago. I still camp and hike all over, but mostly in Colorado now where I live. It's been a lifetime of camping and hiking. Keep up the vids and stay safe and outdoors.

    I just finished hiking the Florida Trail and now I'm itching to do some trekking closer to home... Thank you for showcasing such a lovely trail that is so close to Okies.

    Hey Kelly! Great vlog! Leann and I had the pleasure to join Kellie, Cody, and Jonathan with Cody's parents for the September clean up. We were the ones from Huntsville, Alabama that cooked the steak while Kellie cooked the salmon. We cannot hold a candle to Kellie's cooking but it was a lot of fun!!! WONDERFUL people! Keep up the great work and wish you joy and success :)
