    Good video. I don’t have an RV. I live in a cold climate area. I’m interested in renting a cabin there next winter for about a month. I just researched it. About $130 a night. Nice. Looks like a perfect place to get out of the winter for a month. Thanks for the great video.

    Old timers with cast iron pans used pig tail to grease their frying pans. They just left the tail on the back of the stove until they needed it. While the skillet was heating up they’d grab the tail and at the cut off section, slide it along the surface.
    Another good video and thanks for the intel.

  • @wandrousvindella716
    @wandrousvindella716 Před 2 lety

    Another fun video! Thanks for the tips. I'm a Georgia girl and we use everything but the oink. So pig tail can be cooked in most dishes for flavor. I know there are some that eat pigs feet and tail (not me) but you can put it in with your beans. Next time you pass thru I-20 near Bremen GA stop at Pioneer Ford & check out the small car museum at the dealership. Also when in Charleston SC go to Bessinger BBQ the first Wednesday of every month for the car show. Hope to meet you on the road~

    • @LizAmazing
      @LizAmazing  Před 2 lety

      Ah, that makes sense for flavoring the beans, thanks! We won’t be close to Bremen, unfortunately but we will be heading to Charleston. Thanks for the tips!

  • @johnharper2016

    Looks like a nice place. I lived in Naples, Florida for many, many years. I currently winter in Melbourne, Fl. About as far north as I can stand as far as wintering in Florida. It gets pretty cold in Jacksonville. Better than Minnesota but to ensure nice warm weather thru the winter you have to in very south Florida. Happy travels.

    • @LizAmazing
      @LizAmazing  Před 2 lety

      Yep. Depends on how warm you need. In February it was perfect but there were a couple days where it felt too dang hot for us!

  • @FearlessRVLiving
    @FearlessRVLiving Před 2 lety

    You can put pig tails in a pot of beans or greens as seasoning. I've never done it but I've seen it done. Funny story, you guys are parked in our old spot at flamingo! we were there from June of last year to the end of January. when the new company bought it, they hiked the rates tremendously and booted about 2/3 of the full timers that were there. we enjoyed our time there. Nice place!

    • @LizAmazing
      @LizAmazing  Před 2 lety +1

      When we called last year they said the rates were $800 a month. That seemed too low. Although we paid $1400-1500 on the water, we were surprised that the ones not on the water were only $100 cheaper. We loved 162 and would stay there anytime. So glad you got to enjoy it for so many months!! And good to know about the beans, that makes sense. Thank you!

  • @nicholousprotonotarious6535

    The campground is nice it's in a not to bad area and the lake is nice I would recommend this as a good spot to go. It is close to some real bad areas that are not that far away by vehicle, so if you venture out just pay attention and do some research. Also, the heat is no joke here it is hot as hell most of the time and the mosquitos are bad. however, when this was taped it is nice out. No slamming LIZ AMAZING, love their videos and the information they put. I just know Jacksonville...

      Nothing but awesome!
      Now that I live in Missouri I can see them on approach.
      To bad I also saw when the one that crashed was coming in and saw the trail of flames and smoke and knew something was wrong and went in and watched as the video feed was shut off then the announcement of the disaster.

Next door to tennis courts, baseball field, walking trails, grocery, gas, and thirty minutes to nearest Walmart. I cannot fathom $1400 per month for an RV site, but it looks pretty nice! Today, I am heading to Arkansas next for free boondocking in the Ouachita National Forest. It just shows you the vast differences in cost of RV living.
