Those are land crabs. Our friends live in Hobe sound Fl. The only time in my life I’ve seen them. We live on the gulf side coast.

That underwater dive looked absolutely amazing. Such a special place. Loved the turtles. Even the wee ones scurrying sideways along the path. So cute. What a natural way to use those shells. Your foody bits are always so mouthwatering...drooling as I watch. See you next week. 👍 🎥 💖 🙋‍♀️

I like the places you went too. The Garden was great and beautiful. The food too! I liked when you went to a place called Mimis. I heard if the that rice krispys chicken. Some guy was on tv showing how to make it. His looked different. Like more brown. That one looked better from Mimis. Snorkeling looked fun. Loved the Gardens. Very beautiful. Thank you for this video. See you both next week. Have a great week.

Wow, I have been to caves in OK, New Mexico etc. and scuba diving in different oceans, but did not know this type of mix existed in USA, I had heard of the one in Mexico. Interesting mix of danger and awesome. And don't say you are scuba diving alone, you did have a camera buddy. Safety first....thanks for sharing with us!

@NewstateNomads 3 жыл бұрын

It's pretty amazing this exists here! And yes, safety first! You must always have a buddy, I just meant there were no other snorkelers down there at the moment. :) Glad you enjoyed our video, Janice! Thanks for watching! -Katelyn

Those are Fiddler Crabs. The ones with one big claw are male. You can pick them up with two fingers from behind. They are everywhere in the waterside areas of my hometown of Brunswick, Georgia.

Devil’s Den has been on my list! 72°F water seems warm in theory....but I prefer it in the 80s! Thanks for the suggestions of other things in the area. I don’t know what those little crabs are called, but they are all over the tidal marsh area of Robinson Preserve here in Manatee Co.

Glad it's on your list, Tara, Devil's Den is such a unique snorkeling experience! 80° sounds pretty ideal, though. 😂 Thanks as always for watching and your support! 👍 -Howard

Caitlin was so beautiful last week, when you shared her concern for Scout. I hope Scout is feeling good. Now, I'm an RN and I was wondering if you both would share your vaccine with us. I think it would help more people be feel more comfortable with getting the shot or shots if they saw people they know and trust get vaccinated.

@NewstateNomads 3 жыл бұрын

Lisa, thanks so much! We did share it several weeks ago on our official Instagram and FB pages, but will also look into including it in one of our episodes. The challenge was the FEMA site didn't allow any photos or videos onsite (except for a cute photo spot they setup as you're leaving). We are proud to do our part! 👍

thanks Nomads for your videos. Came across your channel while checking out Banff Park. This is our first year with our motorhome and looking forward to exploring the US and Canada. We have a Labradoodle. what suggestions do you have for being able to explore where dogs are not permitted? We have been taking turns babysitting our boy while the other goes off to explore.

Peter, glad you found us and great question! We put together an entire episode on how we travel with our 3 dogs, and specifically how we keep them safe while exploring.

Hi! The water was cool but not cold. I was comfortable in a bathing suit vs needing a wet suit. Hope you have a great time, it's definitely worth a visit!

Can you fly a drone here?

Hey JP, if you have permission from the ownership group (like we did), then yes! Regardless of location, you should always ask permission in advance when flying on private property. 👍 -Howard
