MANATEES & Our Camping SECRET at Blue Springs State Park, Florida 

We're so happy you found us!! ❤️❤️❤️ And what a coincidence that you live in the Panhandle. I think you'll love some of our upcoming videos! (hint hint) 😊

Oh my goodness, you are so sweet! We're so glad you found us!! 🥰

I know! We must have been camping on one of the coldest nights of the year. It really is a great time to be outside when you're in Florida. Sarah is a cold sleeper so she welcomed the extra power for the heating blanket. 😂🔥

Haha! That was only about three years ago. 😆 We might have changed a little bit but hopefully not TOO much! Thanks for the love! ❤️

Haha! 😂😂 We've ran across racoons on so many occasions camping now. One of the most memorable was in Gatlinburg, Tennessee when we were cooking Indian for dinner and an entire family came down like gangsters! They were not scared at all and kept getting closer until finally we had to escape! They're so funny!

@@PSAdventures wow haha would have ran away i can stand up to one but I don’t think I’d stand up to a raccoon mafia lol

That's so awesome Jessica! Happy birthday! 🎂🥳 I'm sure it'll be a little chilly but if you get a good fire going it'd be the perfect weather for camping! Also, the air outside is pretty cold but the water temperature actually stays the same year round so it'll be it's normal 72 degrees. Enjoy! 💓

Thanks for the suggestion Don! We had biked around the area on the Rails to Trails path a long time ago but didn't have our bikes with us on this one. What a great area to have biking, hiking, camping, and kayaking all in one. 😊 We're so lucky to have it nearby.

@@PSAdventures We live in Dade City (a bit N of Tampa) and Blue Springs is one of our favorite FL State Parks. We both retired last year and have been making the rounds of the State Parks, especially parks with bike trails nearby.

Nice! That sounds like a dream come true, retiring and visiting state parks. We have a ton of them on our list and can't wait to discover more of them. Let us know if you find any favorites!

Blue Springs my neck of the woods for 50 years, I lived off of Blue Springs Ave. which use to be the original entrance to the park but now you can ride your bike over the pedestrian bridge that goes over the tracks which Amtrak runs on and the auto train and you pay a dollar at the kiosk box to go in ..The Spring to Spring trail was just completed on the South side of Debary which connects DeLeon Springs, Lake Beresford, Blue Springs, Gemini Springs and Lake Monroe Park before you enter Seminole County by the Sunrail Station. If you go over the St John's river in Seminole County by Lake Monroe Park the bike trail turns into Seminole cross bike trail and Seminole Wekiva trail which will connect to all the bike trails together from Deleon, DeLand, Orange City,Debary,Sanford, Lake Mary, Altamonte Springs, Casselberry, Winter Springs, Oviedo and even on to Orlando, Winter Park 😀 and now Clermont. Most of the Seminole bike trails were built on existing railroad tracks. My Aunt lived in Altamonte right next to the Lil Wekiva River where the old sketchy wooden train track bridge crosses the Lil Wekiva which is now the San Sebastion trailhead on 436 the Seminole Wekiva trail loved visiting there on the weekends growing up! I really liked the video of you all canoeing on the Wekiva river something I really want to do eventually and the Rock Springs. I ended up doing a video going down the run at Rock Springs it came out pretty good. Some of the fondest memories I have growing up near Blue Springs is my Dad carrying me over his shoulders to get to the boil back before there was even a boardwalk there just mud. Thanks for sharing and bring your bikes next time you won't be disappointed there's a natural sinkhole that the bike trail goes around which is a Lake but its a amazing view right next to the RR tracks

Thanks so much! It's so awesome to visit such beautiful places. We love armchair traveling to places we've been too! Thanks for watching! ❤️

Haha! The life of vloggers. Blue Springs is a great place to visit if you haven't! We've camped many times over the years and it's always a fun experience. Diving at the boil is a pretty cool experience also!

Thank you so much for the kind words! We work hard to make our videos better all the time. 😊 Blue Springs is such an awesome place especially when you get down to the boil. Happy adventuring!

Thank you so much GT! It's crazy looking back on older photos. We definitely haven't lost our sense of adventure! Hehe. A back in the day history video would be fun. We wish we would've been filming back then! We have tons of photos though. So happy you're enjoying the videos! 💕

It's adventure Thursday! We thought we'd try out a new day. Our cat doesn't mind being on camera. 😆 He loves the attention. So glad you enjoyed the video Freeman! 🎉

I forgot to wish Paul a happy belated birthday!!!!

Thank you so much Freeman! 💕 Paul had an amazing birthday. He always wants to be outside for his birthday and that's what we did! 🎂

Glad you enjoyed our video! We'll have to visit Ginnie Springs sometime. We hear it's nice!

We would've been a lot colder without our secret weapon! 😂

Thanks so much for the suggestion Rusty! We had heard there was somewhere in Florida where manatees went near a power plant but couldn't remember what it was. So glad you're enjoying the videos! Go truckers! Paul's dad was a truck driver for many years and we have a lot of fond memories of him in his semi. Happy adventuring!

@@PSAdventures If you do go wait for the coldest weather you can. The colder the water the more they react to the warm water discharge.

Awww, thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks so much Judi!! Our current tent is a Mountain Laurel Designs (MLD) Duomid that's several years old now. It's a pyramid tent that you use trekking poles with. We're looking to upgrade our tent soon to a similar but better model. So glad you enjoyed and thanks for the birthday wish! 💕

Thanks for the question! I'm not sure there are regulations on firewood in Blue Springs but you'll have to call and ask if you're worried about it. I'm pretty sure at this park there isn't since we've brought firewood many times. Normally though we buy firewood bundles from Publix and bring it in but if we forget we just buy it right at the park there since they have it for sale. Definitely check to make sure they have it when you go though since they might sell out.

@PS Adventures thank you I appreciate the response.. I'll be camping there with my family towards the end of April .. I was reading online you can only buy wood at the park but people have been telling me I can bring my own .. I'll call and double check ..thanks again

Thank you so much Beth! It was site 33. Are you planning a trip to Blue Springs?! It's getting to be the perfect time of year when you can see lots of manatees!

@@PSAdventures yes I am! I am in Miami and desperately needing a break from city life.

Nice! Well... you probably already know this, but all the springs are quite different in that area. So if you're interested in doing a little spring hopping, we'd also recommend Juniper Springs for the kayak run (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QQ1ZC_i1x9E.html) and for the pancake experience (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ppiu0wB-X-s.html). Whatever you do, we're excited for you. Enjoy!

No we don't have any kids other than our little fur ball at the moment. 😆🐈 While we do love being around kids, we aren't planning on them in the future. We try to build friendships and focus on family, but also keep busy planning a lot of adventures!

@@PSAdventures I love your videos !!! Keep making em definetly puts a smile on my face !!!!
