      One was you on stage. I have seldom seen someone enjoy life as much as you do in your videos, that is the way life should be lived, with boundless energy and enjoyment in everything. Your energy and attitude is contagious and a person can't help but smile because of it. Keep doing it. Great video.

    My son and I took a three day trip down the Suwannee. Thanks to Trip for making this video we got in contact with Dale at SPG. Couldn't have been better! The river camps are Insane! They're like resorts for Kayakers.
    Dale hooked us up and we couldn't have had a better time! Thanks Again!!

    I've been to the Suwannee river music camp. A friend of mine and his crew helped build the tree house.. I've been up in it.. and have pictures from inside of it. I think the music camp is really nice all the way around. I plan on staying there when I head down to Florida. Enjoying your video!!! Keeps me wanting to join you!!!

      Just found out yesterday, my friend told me that the Music camp has all new personnel and the camp manager that I knew is no longer there. Oh well it's still a nice campground. I will definitely be letting you know when I come down there, I'm thinking about bringing my daughter for a few days of kayaking.

    Great video. Spent a lot of my childhood and my young adulthood swimming in Suwannee springs and jumping in off the wall you were on. I've also canoed that river several times. Water appeared very high but I'm sure it was fun none the less. Looks totally different now compared to when I lived there.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh cool Daniel! Yep it was for sure high. I may have enjoyed it more at lower water where I could have seen the bottom of the river lol Glad you enjoyed it!

      FL is huge and has a wide variety of stream & river types. You definitely don't bad-mouth the Swannee, 3rd largest river in FL, in the top 10 largest rivers that drain into the gulf, not unusual at all apparently for the springs to be flooded out (& saw a bunch of docks that got flooded out too recently), and seasonally gets a bunch of dino fish (aka gulf sturgeon).
      If nessie exists in America, she probably visits the Swannee regularly xD
