Glad that you back finishing the FT. I never seen that moss or plants you showed today. Congrats on a 1000 miles

@lyndaduncan8329 Жыл бұрын

Kelly, I’m a native Floridian and the moss you picked up is known as Deer Moss.

We call them lightening bugs where I'm from. Haven't seen any since moving to AZ. I miss them.

Hi Kelly from Canada. You’re such a sweet person, the world is nicer with you in it. Man the fireflies were crazy!!! And the picture plants, beautiful. Thankyou for sharing with us.👍🇨🇦✌️

Thanks for all of your videos and for this one. It is always nostalgic for me watching people hike through the Florida panhandle. I used to walk into the Apalachicola National Forest and camp when I was a student at Florida State. I lived for a while in Crestview, near Elgin where my grandfather worked in Civil Service and retired from. My father was stationed at Elgin before I was born. My grandfather and I often fished in ponds in Okaloosa and Walton Counties. I really enjoyed the woods there.

Hey Kelly, hope you didn't get a nosebleed from that high elevation! LOL stay safe you guys 😊

Wow, beautiful part of the trail. Thanks for the video. Plant life was amazing. Stay well and be safe. The white moss made it look like a fairytale forest.

I was at that campsite about 3 weeks before you and the fireflies were like I had never seen before. I literally sat there for hours just watching them. Glad you got to enjoy them too.

💥1000💥 Great job! The firefly fireworks were amazing! We used to get them like that in Maine when I was little. Like honeybees, not so much anymore for similar reasons. Beautiful hike Kelly. ✌️

The freeze dried maggots in dirt or wakame really gave me a start. Takoma Park is 350' above sea level and ten to fifteen degrees cooler most times than downtown D.C. And it's reason for being. The pitcher plants were suitably beautiful and horrid.
