0:44
some things I would like to do
0:46

0:48
happens

some of the local today's happenings
2:18
here oh it looks like Pluto is going to
2:20
be here today there's some talk between
2:21
my mom and my aunt and myself about
2:23
possibly renting some bikes just
2:25
cruising around on the bikes however
2:27
with the weather you know possibly going
2:30
to rain maybe we'll just jump in the car
2:32
and go see some stuff maybe we'll stay
2:33
at the resort again just kind of playing
2:35
it by ear and I do like that the resort
2:38
has now has free coffee up at the
2:40
Mercantile up at the tide me over shop
2:42
where when I stayed here in January of
2:45
last year so 13 months ago give or take
2:47
the coffee was a charge for the coffee
2:49
but now they just have it out for free
2:52
any time of the day
2:53
you just go grab a piping hot Cafe
2:55
beverage
2:56
nice hat nice hat on
2:58
to be honest it looks like it might not
3:00
be a bad day weather-wise
3:03
it's a little it's like I said it's a
3:05
little warmer than yesterday and
3:07
even though there is some precipitation
3:09
on the
3:11
the forecast it doesn't look like it it
3:13
doesn't look too bad right now it's
3:15
going to be a great day okay we have in
3:17
fact decided to rent the Box these
3:18
aren't the bike rentals
3:24
well I have my backpack too if you want
3:24
to throw anything in here and bring in
3:26
this with it you're when we stop or
3:28
something I want to take some pictures
3:29
or something okay
3:30
okay we have rented four bicycles and we
3:33
are gonna go around popular destinations
3:35
here they have some different areas and
3:38
this is the map Disney's Hilton Head
3:40
Island Resort guide map
3:42
starting let's see the Disney beach
3:44
houses over here the
3:47
the running the bikes from is right here
3:49
and they have quite a few different
3:51
bikes
3:55
all right you guys are all set
3:57
what else oh they end up giving us give
4:00
you the bike and they also give you a
4:01
lock with a code
4:07
lock the bikes up in case you need to
4:07
get off the bike and do a little
4:09
sightseeing
4:11
and they also come with baskets this is
4:14
Hilton Head Island and red is all the
4:15
bike cars this is not a bike pad that is
4:18
just the highway
4:19
but everything else is about correct to
4:21
my knowledge so it is law on Hilton Head
4:24
on that cars have the right of way
4:26
locals know this they enforce it I
4:29
always tell everybody so just make sure
4:31
that you stop and look both ways every
4:32
time you want to buy I also asked for a
4:34
hard copy of the paper map that if they
4:37
had kind of an image that was a little
4:38
larger on the side of the wall I kind of
4:39
show but this is just kind of shows the
4:41
the layout of the land as well and then
4:44
color code when I color coded but
4:45
different numbers show well this color
4:48
coded it shows over here take a look
4:50
over here there are people kayaking out
4:52
here
4:54
foreign
4:59
that's awesome
4:59
it's like a kayak tour
5:01
hello
5:21
leaving Disney's Hilton Head Island and
5:21
on to the main
5:23
Hilton Head Island
5:36
and the way these bikes are set up is
5:36
just one gear and the brakes you just
5:39
push back on the brakes to stop so they
5:41
don't have any handle breaks
5:43
kind of like old style
5:46
of a bicycle
5:48
push back it's going to stop the bike
5:51
one thing I do like about Crossing this
5:53
very busy intersection is there an is an
5:55
underpass to Palmetto Dunes and goes
5:58
underneath us-278
6:01
this pathway right here
6:03
goes directly underneath
6:06
the highway which is nice
6:20
slide incline whoa not too fast
6:20
gotta be careful it's gotta hit the
6:21
brakes coming down here because it's
6:22
quite the incline
6:24
coming down the side of this hill
6:27
by going under that bridge it has put us
6:29
over at Palmetto Dunes
6:32
you can see a lot of the other people
6:33
ride bikes as well
6:36
it's building over here
6:38
well not so much the Welcome Center but
6:40
this right here kind of reminds me every
6:42
time I see it of an old Pizza Hut
6:43
building
6:55
1663
6:56
States back too
6:58
so it says 1663 to 1983 that must have
7:01
been an anniversary
7:03
a 300
7:06
and 20 year anniversary
7:17
interesting that's a leaf blower
7:17
blowing the Leafs off the golf course
7:20
hey look at that
7:27
on the back of a tractor
7:33
one thing I like about this little
7:33
pathway are all these trees
7:35
just canopies of trees through here
7:46
I'm gonna say not plenty of shape you
7:46
don't really need shade today but
7:49
the walking and biking path
7:51
heading over towards the shoreline okay
7:53
we have tied the bikes up chained them
7:55
up two sets so they gave us two locks
7:57
for four bikes and we're just gonna walk
7:59
around here see what we can see
8:02
a little breather all right it appears
8:04
that the general store is open I have an
8:06
ATM inside they have some little boogie
8:08
boards out front have an ATM not inside
8:10
they have an ATM well this is ATM inside
8:12
but the ATM technically
8:15
is outside right there and you get all
8:17
the info of The Island a lot of golf and
8:19
whatnot over here here's a map of Hilton
8:21
Head down here that includes bike Bass
8:24
I don't know how far we're going to be
8:26
going
8:26
hey
8:32
hey they're putting out some new brick
8:33
they're gonna pop inside so you got to
8:34
pick up all people over there
8:36
play in their version of kind of like
8:38
tennis but not really actually I've
8:40
never played it so I really can't chime
8:41
it on
8:42
and they're gonna go inside let's see
8:44
what they got inside the General Store
8:47
this community here at Hilton Head has
8:50
their own General Store all the local
8:52
papers here the Island packet
8:55
as well oh they have salt water taffy
8:58
take a look at that this is almost like
9:00
a hacky sack of some sort but it's like
9:02
shaped like a moon it's called Bounce it
9:03
too it's a bouncy ball bounce it to the
9:06
moon and as you can see this is a very
9:08
big bike riding Community okay bike
9:10
racks everywhere
9:14
yeah I'm not real familiar with
9:16
pickleball
9:22
there's a lot of people out here playing
9:22
it
9:23
courts are full
9:25
it's like a miniature tennis court
9:28
it's like a one-quarter size 10 or a
9:30
half size
9:35
mom's getting a real close look she's
9:37
just walking right over there
9:41
that is a pickleball ah oh it's almost
9:45
like a wiffle ball
9:51
it's like a wiffle ball
9:51
interesting
10:00
it's like Ping Pong
10:00
yeah it almost kind of is like a kind of
10:02
like Ping Pong
10:04
kind of sort of
10:05
meta Dunes pickleball Center show what
10:07
my mom bought she ended up buying this
10:09
Seize the Day Hilton Head Island magnet
10:20
she likes magnets like I do for her
10:20
fridge pretty much everywhere you go
10:21
through here there are tons
10:23
oh bite look at this look at all of
10:26
these bike rentals that you can get when
10:28
you're just kind of cruising through
10:29
this is Hilton Head Outfitters
10:31
there's that particular one of course we
10:33
got these from the
10:34
Disney one but there's tons of resorts
10:36
around here
10:38
not just the one we're at there's a
10:40
checkpoint right there for automobiles
10:43
but we are riding a bike you don't have
10:45
to go through that you can just go on
10:46
the sidewalk I think it's more for
10:48
parking you have to like show your
10:49
credentials when you go over here
10:52
which I have in my car but riding a bike
10:54
you just go right along this bike path
11:04
Palmetto Dunes Beach Park Disney beach
11:04
house
11:19
all right so over here is the beach
11:19
house it's
11:21
a key here room key and that should open
11:23
up the door at this moment not a whole
11:25
heck of a lot of people in the pool it's
11:26
kind of the same layout as the pool at
11:28
the main Resort and gonna go out here
11:30
and take a walk over
11:32
on the shore well to the shore
11:37
and take a look at the beach the sign
11:38
over here says sea turtles Nest here
11:43
the beach provides a nesting Place sea
11:45
turtles from May through October
11:47
so that would not apply to right now is
11:49
this Marsh
12:13
you think it's the salt that makes like
12:13
salty Suds I have no idea
12:36
we've got people fishing out here got
12:36
people riding bikes
12:38
can ride bikes on this beach which is
12:40
pretty fun
12:41
the last time I was here last year
12:49
fishing right from the shore
12:49
then it looks like they go and put the
12:52
fishing pole up over there in a little
12:54
stance all right so my aunt and uncle
12:55
are going to walk down the beach mom and
12:58
I have decided to go back and get our
12:59
bikes we're gonna ride our bikes on the
13:01
beach because
13:03
if you ever rode a bikes on a beach
13:04
before no never have be my first
13:07
first experience
13:09
so this says please keep off the dunes
13:11
but you can walk through the dunes on
13:14
these Dunes on either side back up to
13:16
the
13:17
little dock up here to go to the beach
13:18
house to get our bikes
13:20
okay unlatched it
13:22
we're off
13:25
riding on the beach time
13:34
there's going to be a little soft sand
13:34
but once we get past the soft sand it'll
13:36
be a little hard harder sand
13:38
and then they have this little
13:40
blue pathway that you can ride across
13:42
too it's almost like the yellow brick
13:44
row or yellow brick road but it's blue
13:47
new beach regulations only small plastic
13:50
shovels Allowed no big shovels so you
13:52
gotta walk through the soft sand
14:00
remember last year I texted you and I
14:00
sent you a video of me on the beach
14:01
riding a bike he got I want to do that
14:03
when I go there so now we're going to do
14:09
as long as we can just make it through
14:09
the soft sand
14:15
we got this
14:15
hard compact sand up here
14:18
all right we're doing this
14:20
mom's got her bike I got my bike the
14:24
beach behind us hard compact Sands now
14:27
we're off okay because this tide is a
14:29
little higher the sand is a little
14:31
mushier but I remember it it's actually
14:34
pretty difficult
14:36
pretty difficult to pedal on it to be
14:38
honest
14:44
we tried
14:52
we got like 20 we got like 30 feet
14:52
evidently because the tide was at like 9
14:55
A.M went out
14:56
and because there's really no sun
15:01
but you got a sample of what it's like
15:01
to ride on the beach small sample
15:05
you did it
15:07
kind of an anti-climactic
15:17
Ally well last year
15:17
when I was here last January it was hard
15:19
compact it may have been a different
15:20
time of the day where it wasn't mushy
15:22
this is what really mushy it was almost
15:23
like concrete last time
15:30
look at this guy he's like
15:30
he's doing good he might be a local and
15:33
he has
15:35
stronger legs than you and I
15:43
it was a lot easier last time I was here
15:43
trust me
15:46
he's just riding right along on the
15:47
beach
15:53
he's not even having an easy time he's
15:53
he's struggling a little bit too
16:06
and Daytona Beach he used to used to be
16:06
able to drive on your car on Daytona
16:09
Beach I think he might still be able to
16:11
I've never done it
16:21
I'm just gonna have to figure out when
16:21
the sand will be compact enough
16:25
we'll have to come back out here another
16:26
time
16:28
right on the beach
16:30
this is pretty awesome but it just
16:32
wasn't meant to be today
17:13
the kickstand even stands up right where
17:13
the water is hitting so it's not too
17:15
mushy but once once you get body weight
17:17
on there
17:18
tires kind of sink into this
17:21
sand dunes like this and I'm supposed to
17:23
walk up on the dunes
17:25
but they have these little
17:27
fences on each of them
17:28
evidently like the wind buffer to maybe
17:30
to stop when the wind goes up there well
17:33
I don't know honestly I don't know
17:35
but these fences have something to do
17:37
with the wind and the sand and keeping
17:39
the dunes
17:40
in place
17:46
you see them on each Dune
17:46
there's these little offenses all the
17:48
way down the beach I was just mentioning
17:49
how you can drive on the beach in
17:51
Daytona but evidently someone is driving
17:53
on the beach here maybe an employee or
17:56
uh
17:57
some Patrol in the beach over there
18:00
a truck on the beach
18:03
turn it off
18:07
yeah
18:07
I think it's a ranger
18:10
oh they're getting ready to instruct
18:12
those guests to get off of the dunes
18:15
oh they're gonna they're gonna lay down
18:17
the wall
18:28
witnessing
18:28
some chastisements
18:31
they take the dunes very seriously out
18:34
here Palmetto Dunes
18:36
also
18:37
there's an airport close by because take
18:39
a look
18:41
there's an airplane right there
18:43
it's like it's either I think it's
18:44
Landing it's not taking off its Landings
18:46
because and now back on to the shore
18:49
well off the shore off the beach
18:52
onto the shore
19:03
sign reminding again the cars have the
19:06
right-of-way out here
19:31
get a little exercise oh going over this
19:31
hill
19:32
going over this hill
19:42
kind of noticing this unique Corkscrew
19:42
type of tree here
19:45
you see how the roots start off here
19:48
well not the roots but the trunk that
19:51
splits off and then it corkscrews around
19:54
to the top
19:56
that's different
20:04
you ever seen a tree like that before
20:04
like a corkscrew tree
20:11
it branches off and then that yeah
20:11
corkscrews around and then up to the top
20:15
it's me
20:24
enjoying our beautiful day here in
20:24
Hilton Head Florida it's a nice day it's
20:26
not too hot
20:31
oh look at these over here my shortest
20:31
up here
20:37
I love flowers so here from I see a
20:37
flower that's unique I always make a
20:38
porch look at it
20:44
any idea what those are no I do not I
20:44
don't know
20:58
this is a beautiful bike path through
21:12
they were cones
21:12
pine cones
21:18
of the Mainland
21:18
500 feet from the underpass
21:21
also the highway this kind of works out
21:24
well we're heading back because it is
21:25
starting to mist right now it's starting
21:28
to starting to rain just a little bit
21:30
I should have my sunglasses on
21:32
keep the Mist out of my eyes
21:37
yeah it's right now
21:37
starting to miss a little hard now the
21:39
rain's coming down
21:41
perfect timing we're heading back
21:43
I like to have this mirror here just to
21:45
make sure there's no one else
21:46
approaching from the other side
22:08
one thing about this bike trail I will
22:08
stay I almost said truck stop bike trail
22:10
I will say it is Iconic
22:16
raindrops falling on my camera
22:19
and back in time
22:53
definitely precipitating just a little
22:53
bit
22:54
I'll knuckle across on the bridge back
22:56
over to Hilton Head Disney island on
22:59
Hilton Head Island it's like an island
23:01
on an island and now back over to the
23:04
Broad Creek Mercantile
23:06
turn the bikes on
23:07
got a nice little cardio custom steps I
23:11
had some rain saw the beach
23:13
covered a couple miles
23:15
got the bikes all returned checked back
23:18
in hello squirrel
23:20
oh there's another squirrel over there
23:21
look there's squirrels everywhere right
23:24
also went back to the room and gonna
23:26
take back to the Mercantile
23:27
got to take Indiana Jones where there's
23:29
a lot of stock we rented this
23:31
well I rented this yesterday we all
23:32
watched it last night
23:34
in the room so I'm gonna drop it back
23:35
off
23:36
and I believe I saw something about
23:38
Pluto
23:40
was actually going to be here on
23:42
property doing a little Meetup
23:44
at 3 P.M so I'm gonna walk over there
23:47
it's getting close to three so
23:49
see what's going on
23:51
see a Pluto I've never seen a character
23:54
ever
23:55
I've heard sometimes they have the
23:57
characters here
23:58
this might be my chance
24:01
possibly here's an interesting little
24:03
fact
24:04
I mean it's pretty much common sense but
24:06
stated here on the side
24:08
kind of like this little houseboat here
24:10
