Thank you Randy and Julie, this is such a lovely and peaceful way to spend a few hours. The scenery is so unique and beautiful. God Bless you both !! ... Robin :-)
Appreciate that, Robin! Hope you have a blessed Lord's Day, dear brother!
Watching Julie doing all that paddling I had memories of you making Shane do all the work on the paddleboat in Washington DC. Seriously though that was incredibly beautiful. In this world where things are moving a hundred miles a minute what a quiet peaceful place.
Great words, David... and a great memory too!
I grew up there in the late 60's early 70's. We used to put in there at the bridge and go upstream. Wekiva Island was known as Wekiva Marina. We would paddle up to Indian mound. It's know as that because about 1/4 mile upstream on that same side of the cut is a large prehistoric Indian burial mound. Also if you go inland from the campsite and then angle to the NE once you get through the wooded area you'll come to the last surviving trestle from the Cross Florida Rail Road. It went from St. Augustine to Tampa in the 1800's. It's good that it's being preserved as a nature reserve and state park for all to enjoy.
Great words, James! Thanks for sharing your insights and memories! Beautiful area... and I would have really enjoyed seeing that trestle. Fascinated by history... learning from your remarks!
This is definitely a nice break from the usual Orlando. That area can be quite overwhelming.
I hear ya!
So neat again 👌 just beautiful. Great job paddling Julie . 2 feet of deep snow at your place,now you know why I live in Florida.We use to live east of Cleveland Ohio, in the snow belt. Sure loved the 85 and windy today. God bless you both and keep you safe and trouble free as you travel 🙏 💜🙏💜
Thanks so much, Rita! I believe Julie is ready to move to beautiful FL! Have a blessed weekend!
Great way to start the month of February. So fun to get away somewhere warm, sunny and beautiful!
That was a fun day! Our first stop on the mini-vacation!
We recently moved to Orlando, FL, and somehow have never heard of Rock Springs. We've even been to Wekiva Springs so not sure how we missed it, but now we'll definitely have to visit. We've seen lots of gators paddling through Wekiva and are always surprised when we see people swimming around Wekiva island. You won't see us swimming in that water! Glad you all are enjoying the FL weather, especially when its 30 degrees back home. Cheers!
Thanks so much, guys! We absolutely love your home state! All the best with your travels and channel!
When Julie was asked what is for lunch. Some reason I was expecting or hoping she was going to say "Gator, delicious gator sandwich". Yummy!
haha! That was a good one! :)
Your camera work is incredible!
Really appreciate that!
Randy, Wow! nice alligator picture. Lots of turtles. Looks like a wonderful area to see the wildlife and have a peanut butter picnic! The 360-cam made this video very enjoyable. As Julie said, excellent boat maneuver over the log. THANK YOU FOR THE KAYAK RIDE, . . . Mike
It was a a nice start to our mini FL trip! Still a little chilly up here in the Northeast. Hope you are doing well, my friend!
I hope you do 1000 videos, man. I'd watch every single one.
Really happy to hear that, Normie!
Just saw you at la costa. Had to look up your channel. Awesome to see something so unique and entertaining. Much different from regular TH-cam content. Hope to see more!
Wow, what a great comment! Just returned to NJ. Great trip in CA and fantastic food at La Costa! Thanks again for checking out the channel and sharing the kind words!
Not sure how we would do with the gators, but the rest of the kayaking trip looked absolutely stunning! Gorgeous weather for early February. Makes us excited for warmer temps up our way 😀 Cheers!
I hear you! We are near you in NJ. Nice to get a brief break from the cold weather. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
so beautiful on the water with all that lush vegetation / feels warm from here/// thanks for taking us with you
It was a nice break from the chilly northeast! :)
I am so glad that you slipped the hiking that time .
Great video.
Btw. Your Americans Parks t-shirt arrived in Norway 🛶
Hey, thats really wonderful to hear! I know you will wear it well! All the best to you and warm greetings from the USA!
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing!
Really appreciate your kind words, Jenna!
Great video Randy & Julie! That looked very peaceful, unique & colorful. Thank you & God bless.
God bless you, Tim! Appreciate the kind comment!
You do a great job with these videos! I also love how kind and respectful your family is with each other, that's pretty rare.
Those words really mean a lot to me, Brant! Gratefulness for God's grace... they will encourage the family as well! Take care!
Season 7! Beautiful scenery, thanks Randy & Julie
Great to have you joining us, Dawn!
What a great video. Great drone and 360 footage. Love it!!
Really appreciated that, Michelle! Actually it wasn't a drone, but a 360 camera on a "disappearing" 10-foot selfie stick. Cool little toy! :)
@@AmericasParks Oh wow. Can't wait for more of your adventures.
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful kayak trip. The scenery was really awesome and the colors so vibrant. Another trip with great, fun memories. Thanks for your efforts in filming and editing. Take care always!
Much appreciated, James! So nice to get a break from the chilly northeast!
Thank you for another great reason to visit Central Florida and explore their great parks. Such chivalry, keep Julie dry over that log! Good job brother. 😉
Great words, Bill! :) Thank you!
Thanks for taking me along that beautiful trip. 😍
Glad you enjoyed the video, Darlene!
Gotta be careful in the wild there! Just like Arizona. Snakes 🐍👀 Beautiful views and great idea for kayaking! Love the videos as usual!
Thanks so much, Jillian!
Beautiful colors and filming! Thanks for sharing.
Your kind words are much appreciated, Mark!
What a beautiful, quaint little area. Julie was paddling like a seasoned vet. I was surprised to hear her say it was her first time. Have a wonderful week dear friend! Much love to you both
It's was a nice start to our mini Florida trip! All the best to you, Jymn!
Haven't ever done any kayaking in Florida looks like a lot of fun! You can always expect a lot of wildlife in Florida though that's for sure! Cool you got to see at least one gator! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, the things to visit in Florida are those amazing springs. So cool!
Gr8 content MrRandy and Julie, U 2 just plain got it figgered out😎
Thanks, Mark! God has been good to our marriage!
Very happy boatding cannel
Thank you very much!
Good time of year to go there. No mosquitoes. 🙂
Good point Alice!
I kayak in Florida waters last year and I almost had a heart attack. But I did have fun. I think if I ever got out the kayak, even though the water wasn't that deep, it's still would have been panic mode.
Good words! We only saw one gator, but I was always wondering how many might have been below us unseen in the water.
Man, GREAT footage, excellent colors. Im very impressed with the 360. Would you fill me in on however you got it too look so awesome? Color grade, settings? Amazing job!
Thanks, buddy! As for the 360... exporting in 3840x2160 and then hitting it with some color grade in the final edit. Hope all is well with you and the family, Karl!
The gators looks at you and say DINNER!
I hear ya! Cool animals, but I'll keep my distance!
Yep. Keep your distance. They may look slow but they are fast in short distance..
You prefer a kayak or a canoe? We went kayaking (in an upcoming video) and akane wasn’t quite as good as Julie as you’ll see, lol. You just need some tuna to round out that lunch and you’ll be set!
Tuna!!! Yeah, I'll take the kayak... look forward to your video! :)
That looked like an amazing kayaking run! You did a really excellent job filming this whole adventure! The Gators thing would probably make me nervous, but obviously, it's not a common thing for them to attack people over there. One question, though, did you guys do this as a one-way, or did you have to kayak back?
Hey Eric, only one-way. The shuttle takes you back. A little pricy, but highly recommend the outfitter: "King's Landing."
That is a beautiful park and great photography. But there’s no way I’m paddling in the swamp with those alligators. I’ve seen too many alligators attacks on people fishing in kayaks. Kudos to y’all and I would never get in the water like you did!
We have been in the Everglades and quit counting the alligators and I mean huge. Y’all are the bomb!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks, Jim! Only saw one, but was thinking about how many might have been under us in those waters! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, brother!
Go Gators!! 🐊🐊🐊
Very appropriate, buddy! :)
Hello
Thanks for joining us, Michael!
SOMEBODY ACTUALLY KYAKED ACCROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.
Now that is an amazing accomplishment!
No way there’s so many 🐊
Yeah, they are there, but it's very rare to have any issues with them if you don't harass them. Still, agree with you... they can be intimating!
PRAISE YAH! HAPPY SABBATH! WAY TO OFTEN CHRISTIAN'S DISMISS THE LAW OF YAH AS AN OLD COVENANT. NO. THE LAW IS ALL ABOUT YAH'S LOVE FOR HIS PEOPLE, JUSTAS A GOOD FATHER SETS RULES AND BOUNDERIES FOR THEIR HOUSE. IT'S ALL LOVE. YAH SHOWED ME THAT THE LAW SERVES TO KEEP US SAFE, HEALTHY, IN HARMONEY WITH THE TRUE BODY OF MESSIAH AND SET APART AS HIS OWN. NO MAN'S MASTER IS REVEALED TOTALLY BY WORDS ALONE. A MAN'S MASTER IS REVEALED BY HIS OBEDIANCE. JESUS HIMSELF SAID, Matthew 5:17-18
King James Version17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. AND PAUL HIMSELF BEARS WITNESS. CONTRARY TO WHAT PREACHERS SAY HE BELIEVED. YOU NEVER HEAR THIS FROM THE PULPIT. ROMAN'S 3:31 New King James Version
Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law. BE BLESSED. YOU REALLY SHOULD CONCIDER THAT DEATH VALLEY HIKE. IT TAKES A LITTLE HOMEWORK
That is true. Saved by grace... but the grace that saves is never alone. It always produces the fruit of obedience.
@@AmericasParks AMEN. I FIGHT WITH SIN SO HARD. BUT THAT'S A GREAT THING NO MATTER HOW HEAVY THE BATTLE IS. BECAUSE IN MY FLESH THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD SAY NO TO OR FIGHT THESE THINGS. I ONLY FIGHT THEM BECAUSE I WANT TO BE PL;EASING TO YAH. I OFTEN TELL HIM, I AM UNWORTHY TO SERVE YOU. BUT I AM WILLING HOWEVER YOU WANT ME. I ALWAYS PRAY THAT WHEN I FAVE A MINISTRY PROJECT AHEAD OF ME. YESHUA SAID, NARROW IS THE GATE AND HARD PRESSED/DIFFICULT IS THE ROAD TO LIFE AND FEW FIND IT. PEACE, BROTHER.
@@AmericasParks ANOTHER THING YAH TAUGHT ME ABOUT HIS LAW IS THAT IT IS THERE BECAUSE OF LOVE, MEANT TO KEEP US SAFE, HEALTHY, IN HARMONY WITH OTHER BELIEVERS AND SET APART AS HIS OWN YOU SEE A MAN'S MASTER ISN'T FULLY REVEALED BY HIS CONFESSION OF HIM. A MAN'S MASTER IS REVEALED BY HIS OBEDIENCE. YOUR CHANNEL IS AN INCREDIBLE ;BLESSING. THANX.,
