good morning everyone happy day to you i've got my vlogging camera set back up here in the rv
it is a beautiful day in alabama but i'm leaving alabama today time to get on over into florida
then go see my buddy rv prepper wayne in panama city and uh check in so it's a three hour driving
day i'll stop at anything interesting or quirky and uh thanks for joining me guys
i'll be uploading this video with some nomad internet there's a link below in the video
description if you need some unlimited high-speed mobile internet thanks for joining me guys
what there's a bucky's in alabama now guys this is the the beach express location ah this is perfect
and get some cheap gas before i get into florida and i'm totally out of beaver nuts i gotta get
me some more beaver nuts this is awesome i love bucky's i always thought it was kind of weird
they don't advertise their gas prices most of the time until you get here and actually like
physically look at the pump but it doesn't matter they they beat any local price so you have to take
that chance you know it's the best in town every pump has diesel on it too that's pretty cool
pretty cool hey bucky just here to get some of your nuts put them in my mouth i'm going to hell
for that oh check it out they have a nut sampler pack with four different kinds of [ __ ] nuts
all right i'll go for that oh wait a minute never seen these before beaver nuggets milk chocolate oh
my god they even have dark chocolate i think i'm gonna try some chocolate covered beaver nuggets
y'all all right back out here to get some gas not the cheapest i've paid this trip but a dollar
96 a gallon ain't bad i think i paid i paid a dollar eighty a gallon in northern mississippi
at a flying j with my discount a dollar eighty that's that's that's some cheap gas but hey it's
the right time to travel i guess all right let's try one of these milk chocolate beaver nuggets
i like those a lot better than the plain ones actually all right we are so close to florida i
can smell the beaches and everything just check everything real quick everything looks good
tires still have air let's get back on the road folks hey here we go check out these signs coming
up on our right the florida state line escambia county and florida welcomes you those palm trees
oh my gosh the sunshine state indeed uh currently 71 degrees here in florida it's
warmer down south but the high today is 74 and the low is 52. nowhere near freezing cold so dan
it's a good feeling i have missed florida awesome we've got the florida welcome center coming up and
i realize again that maybe i should get a sun pass if i'm gonna be going south um
i gotta yeah i might get a sun pass from the vending machine i gotta get over you can go
ahead and go over semi that way because i'm taking this exit we'll go check it out though
thank you thank you thank you all right state of florida welcome center again
a lot of hurricane damage so i don't know if this place will be open a lot of other things going on
that might not make it open to and checking camper parking okay head on over here hey
i remember this place it looks a lot more wide open we're missing a lot of trees over there huh
i wonder if they have any fresh squeezed florida orange juice juice i need some juice
all right we'll go check it out okay all right raise your paw if you're excited about florida
your paw you your little you gotta raise the ball if there you go you're excited all right
i don't think it has ever been this nice sunny and beautiful when i arrived to florida
you guys have been with me for a long time what does it always do when i get to florida we don't
use that four-letter word that starts with r because it ain't doing it today you got sunshine
got a big old blue angel on a pole yeah and then customary thank you for visiting uh florida sign
i feel good man feel really good now all right well we are in the florida welcome center i get
a little thing you can take a picture from they still serve fresh squeezed florida orange juice
oh my gosh more and more more and i got some information about the sun bass
there's the uh sun pass vending machine let's go outside so i guess this is kind
of a spoiler alert i am going to be going down farther south in florida this month
don't know if i'll be going all the way to key west but i do kind of need another uh intro shot
because i got tater tot so maybe i could go find my beach over there with the palm tree do a new
uh intro i don't know but anyway the sun pass idea they she pretty much talked me out of it because
i'm not too axel anymore i'm a four-axle traveler with tater tot on the back and so the rate is
double and you would still have to put an extra ten dollars on your card every single time before
you go through a toll booth so she said the best thing for rvs to do who are towing either a truck
towing a trailer or a class a towing a car she said just always go through the cash lanes or
go an extra 100 miles to avoid all the tolls when possible with google earth so i got some options
but i'm not going to get the sun pass right now okay back on the roads go see wayne
all right so we've now gotten several of these overhead signs uh indicating that the bridge
in pensacola on 98 on the way to wayne's is out the hurricane took the bridge out so uh
google maps does not know that yet see the sign coming up u.s 98 bridge closed followed not
uh it might take a little available to get there that's right y'all
waffle house hanging out here with rv prepper wayne hey everybody panama city beach found a
uh waffle house that's open it's been a while where there's one more person down there but
you see those palm trees out there yet we're in florida folks i got my berg for my murph
that is delicious what'd you get wayne the same i got the original with the egg and cheese awesome
awesome get our grub on them head over the beach all right i'm gonna rest my stomach for
my burger we got got palm trees sun's getting ready to set out here on the beach in panama
city it's a beautiful day they got this pier that goes out here uh wayne went out here one time i
think it's like three bucks to go out to the end of the people like to fish or just get better
views but uh i'm more of a beach guy white sand is it worth the view oh yeah yep all right get that
sand it's different than the mississippi stuff it looks like snow almost nice so we got front
beach road that runs behind all those hotels and everything you see there and some people out there
body surfing there as the sun goes down looks nice so you got to go back about six seven years on my
youtube career when i was first here i remember tilly with the brake problem and i met rv pepper
wayne and he he fixed the brakes and i came out here for the first time to see a white sandy beach
a northwest guy that's used to the puget sound gray dirty sand and murky water and i saw this all
this white crystal clear sand and clear water out there and i just couldn't stop smiling back then i
still love it it's still one of my favorite places to be in florida panama city beach but with all
the hurricane destruction and even this last storm you know it changed the whole structure of this
portion of the beach moved a lot of the sand back and the canal now twists and turns through here
uh before going out to the ocean so you can't even walk out there i mean i can take my shoes
off i wanted to but yeah definitely one of my favorite spots just come out listen to the waves
and just enjoy it it's beautiful out here and wayne can't get enough of all these
hurricanes that's why he stays because he just loves them hurricanes huh wayne oh yeah
it's january and uh it's high 60s to maybe low 70s some days here so it's not crazy busy like
spring break time but i would imagine again march and april this place will be kicking
and bumping again i won't be here then i like it when it's like this a little more peaceful and
laid back and traffic's easy rolling through here so anyway i'm gonna i'm
gonna spend uh the day and the night with my buddy wayne catch up here and then we'll get
on the road and go do something different in florida so i'll get back to you in a bit
so uh jack's had an interesting day today wayne has some kitties and i will admit it was my bright
idea to uh introduce jax to wayne's kitties and how did that go probably one of the the worst jax
implosions of all time he completely freaked out on them
on me he scratched me pretty uh bad actually he drew blood i don't know what it was necessarily
that made him love that one cat in washington state on the river but every cat before that and
every cat after that jax has given a strong thumbs down too and i don't know what to do because
everything in me wants to bring one more cat into our traveling lives and no matter what i do lately
i don't know i wish we could have adopted that winery kitty but
we tried terrible idea eric it's late now i did not mean to stay up till 11
i've been editing at the computer over there i have got to get some sleep because i've got
plans tomorrow morning i've also got plans to shoot out another video here in just two days
i man no i nope i'm not going to do it i am not going to justify my actions anymore
i love florida there's a lot of stuff in florida i like and i'm going to keep the variety going and
everyone's going to judge me for that but where i want to go right now well you wouldn't you
wouldn't understand so good night guys i'll see in a couple days from somewhere somewhere magical
bye
