@mikejenkins4598 2 года назад

I stayed there for over 45 years and was owned by the Gladwells until just recently. It was by far the best family atmosphere in all the Keys .Over the years I introduced over 50 families to BPKFL to this great maintained park .But I stayed there in July and sad to say I was very disappointed in the upkeep and dirty restrooms.I can only hope the large company that purchased it will get it together.

@GablesOnTheGo 2 года назад

We met some folks that were very sad to see the change of ownership, but I will say the new GM seemed very nice and Annett is still at the counter and she was awesome! Maybe they are just going through growing pains and will get things together! We had a nice time...

Things begin to slow down a bit in April...still not super slow but better than January! The slowest months down here are September and October.

@jimmoore7725 2 года назад

Thanks. I enjoyed this video. I have seriously been considering ordering a Rockwood MiniLite after the first of the year. I think they are well built and a good value for the money! PS would you consider videoing the Key West Christmas boat parade this year.

@GablesOnTheGo 2 года назад

We can try, but we don't get down to Key West that much...we do have a video up for the Key Colony Beach boat parade from two years ago! We'll see what we can do on filming KW.

I’m a knew subscriber. Ytube was spying on our conversation. We’re in Key West at sigbee right now considering staying. I just have to say I’m 41 and take care of myself so I don’t (as my Grand Momma used to say) “let yourself go” So I must say you look fabulous! I pray I can keep it together and look half as good as you do.

@GablesOnTheGo 2 года назад

@alcabrera3648 2 года назад

Bought a 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie and it also came with a 23 gallon tank. After one tow with the boat I said heck no, I ordered a 33 gallon tank from the dealer and had them do the retrofit, yes it cost me a penny but I'm planning on keeping it long term so it was a no brainer.

@GablesOnTheGo 2 года назад

That looks like exactly the route we will need to take!

@jayjohnson9668 2 года назад

Been to that campground many times……its OK but not great. Pretty much what you are gonna get for the $$$$ in the Keys.! Its all relative when u r in the Keys. But if you want to rough it this is an adequate place. Nothing fancy but very affordable if you are down for fishing/diving with no frills! It aint no Ritz but great for the hard core fishermen/divers that dont need all the ammenities and just want a clean place to camp/stay. You can always drive to bars and restaurants nearby. As far as a place to lay your head its great!😎

8:00 There's no cheating physics when it comes to pulling a load! Agree on the cooled seats. This year I bought a 2007 Cadillac XLR with 36,000 miles and it's the first car I ever owned with them. Inversely, heated seats (far more common) are a total waste in Florida except if one of you wants the A/C really cold, then the heated seats let everyone be happy! 10:40 On Nov. 8th when international travel is allowed I bet you'll have a Canadian invasion!

@GablesOnTheGo 2 года назад

We've got the Cadillac SRX with heated seats, black on black......geez that thing gets hot down here!

@joyce52 2 года назад

Love your little camper. I could easily live in that. I love being in small places since I am alone. Laurie, I have a question for you. What brand sandal were you wearing in this video. I have very narrow feet and those looked great. I usually have to have the thong type with as many adjustable straps I can get and they looked perfect. I have several pr of Sketcher ones similar to those, but I really liked the look of yours. I probably already told you that I had my last cruise planned for Dec. and it was cancelled, so that is a bummer, so I am getting my sunshine and warmth through you two.

@GablesOnTheGo 2 года назад

Hi Joyce! It would be great for one person 😃 My sandal are Chacos brand. I have had them for 5 years or so and they are great! They have good traction, arch support, and very comfy. Great as water shoes too. I am glad we can bring you sunshine and warmth!

@beachdiva9586 2 года назад

And a cool tee shirt you're wearing, Laurie. Is it from USA Palm? We retired to Gulfport, MS where we don't need much more than tees, shorts and flip flops. Love your show!

@jimpatrick8021 2 года назад

Man $150 a night, I might have to park on the side of the road, got an old converted school bus or hit the state parks if they will even let me in with it. Looks like an old bus outside much different on the inside. I do enjoy the videos..

Big Pine Fishing Lodge changed hands recently and rates rose astronomically. Another reason besides October theres no one there.

Actually their rates are comparable to the other ocean front campgrounds in the Keys. All the campgrounds are sparsely filled in October.

The new truck gets 8mpg , the old Dodge got 14mpg pulling anything, and it got 24 or or so on the highway not pulling....but it's tough to show real estate in an old Ram straight shift that sounds like a tractor...but I do love that old truck!

@motofarmmx2430 2 года назад

Been following you guys since you started. Should of never gotten rid of the old truck. Hopefully you realize the 6 speed ones bring 30k with high mileage now. They keep going up in value where that f150 is going down. Also the torque might be close to a stock cummins but its really not because the cummins makes its peak numbers at such a low rpm. A light tune on it and that f150 would be no where close. I still have my 06 I bought new and a 97 mechanical cummins. Had the newer trucks but they're not for me. Oh you could of hooked up some newer cooled seats in your old truck pretty easy if that's what you wanted.

@GablesOnTheGo 2 года назад

I haven't sold it just yet! 30K?? I'm in, just bring me a buyer!!

@motofarmmx2430 2 года назад

@@GablesOnTheGo awesome. Yes 30k. How many miles are on it? Look up gateway car connection. They specialize in pre emissions diesels. They sell their inventory super fast. They even have a text alert list before they post them.

@GablesOnTheGo 2 года назад

So my Dodge has 202K miles on it, and I called the guy at Car Connection and they don't take anything over 150k miles, but he said my truck was a hot seller and that he would recommend putting a price of $18k on it, and ironically that's exactly what we were asking! The truck is up in north Georgia now and we will be selling it up there. Thanks!

@motofarmmx2430 2 года назад

@@GablesOnTheGo they would price it with 100k at 39,990 or 43,990. List it on a Cummins facebook page. Guys ask 30k all the time and they sell. As long as its not rusted out. If I was in the market I would buy yours up in a second for 18k. If its a 4x4 and rust free I wouldn't take less than 28k. Family friend just sold one that was a relative that passed. 160k for 34,000
