Kayak Camping in the Florida Springs: Caves and Catch and Cook
I join 130 paddlers at the first RockADock in Marianna, Florida to explore springs, swim into a cave and catch food by hand.
What’s in this video
I was aching for some adventure, so I went to Marianna, FL for the first ever RockADock, hosted by the Trip Smith YouTube channel. About 130 other paddlers showed up, and each day we picked a new waterway to explore.
I explore the area, go into a cave, swim through it underwater and catch critters to cook for meals. I met new friends and came home re-energized. This trip reminded me of the adventure filled life I want for myself and my family.
