    I see a lot of comments about Josh popping the question. Honestly if he does, that’s their business, and if they choose to let us know when that happens…. That’s also their business. Right now, I just see two wonderful people sharing their lives together and just enjoying life. THEY are the ones who carry the camera and allow us to have just a small peak into their lives. No matter what happens, ring or no ring, I just hope the great content keeps coming and that they have the happiest life together.

    You guys are definitely the Dynamic Duo of RUclips right now. Totally outstanding piece of work. Breathtaking vistas with the personal shots blended in, a masterpiece. Huge respect for the hours, post trip editing, I’m sure.

    I discovered your channel a little over a month ago. The second video I watched was your most recent trip to Lajitas. Your flight over the domes allowed me to catch a glimpse of a home (now Casa Grande), I used to stay at during my Thanksgiving trips to stay with one of my best friends. They sold the Lone Star Ranch a few years ago to Jeff to build the domes and cave casas. Seeing the ranch from the air was absolutely epic. I’m so glad you got to go up to the summit, that was my favorite spot in Texas. Thanks for sharing your experiences. And it’s wonderful to watch the life you are building together with Chelsey. Wishing you two many decades of smooth flights.

    Super cool man. Stunning video and cinematic editing. I can only imagine how many hours of work it took to produce this video. Just incredible!
    I love the flying videos, but the thing that I’ve discovered after watching this video is that you need to make the destination the focus of your trip, as much as you do about the flying aspect, or you risk turning into a total airplane nerd (like I already am) and alienate yourself from the special someone in your life that is flying with you, regardless whether they are a pilot or non-pilot. Great choice of destination and accommodations. Josh, It was great meeting you at Oshkosh this year at the pavilion!

    Met you Josh a couple of times at past Airventures, met you again this year with the lovely Chelsea at AirVenture, and talked about stuff including my newly flying RV-14. Yous guys are an integral part of my aviation RUclips experience, I’m a happy cockpit club member, this installment is cool. My RV-14 is based at KSAD, which was on one of the videos when you stopped for fuel there. That’s home for me, and when I entered T89 into ForeFlight, that makes a very do-able trip. What a cool place! I love the AZ desert as much as you love the Texas desert. Thanks for another great series!

    • @Aviation101

    From our beautiful irrigated farm with a quarter section of never plowed land home site and its many acres lake in the Panhandle, I've never experienced sweeter air or more pleasant mornings anywhere. But then again, I remember thunderstorms topping out at 80,000 to 100,000ft rushing headlong up & over the Caprock, or three feet of snow now covering the ground that was bare 20 minutes ago. My wife on her first visit stood aghast as we looked across the Plano Escotada & me saying, "Isn't it beautiful!" She said, "What's beautiful?" ....I guess you have to be born to it

Try to go at night and look through one of the telescopes, the place is very romantic for couples and there is the Indian Lodge right down the road with a good restaurant on site.

    Exceptional camera and editing work. I may be biased as I share your appreciation for that part of our state. You might want to consider flying in to Alpine some time. Some great B&B's there and you can check out Marfa, Valentine, Alpine, and Marathon areas. Probably not the volume of things to see compared to Big Bend, but still has that magical feel in the area.

    i've seen Big Bend multiple times, both from on the ground inside the park, and though the sighting window of the boom compartment while doing Air Refueling with a receiver on the AR197 track. It is stunning scenery from every angle, and I'd love to visit there again sometime in the future.

    @rossrichardson7232 Год назад

    Looks like a nice place to stay. Might have to try it out. Years ago we made a trip to Big Bend and had reservations in Terlingua. However, when we got to the park we were able to get a place in the park and cancelled Terlingua. We hiked into Santa Elina canyon until the trail ran out and headed back. It was a great trek. We also crossed into Mexico in a rented gutted out aluminum boat at Boquillas and walked a mile to a little village for beer. Then back to the boat and back to the U.S. The river is not deep there and the cost was US$1.00 each way. You two had a lot of fun and looking forward to future adventures

    People still bury their loved ones in the Terlingua Cemetery. It's a phenomenal place to shoot night Milky Way timelapse and stills when Sagittarius is setting in the west. It's also where I saw a ghost :) Legit. Maybe. Idk...
    I've never tried the hike up to Mesa de Anguila (above Santa Elena Canyon and to the right) but the view down on the Rio Grande from up there photographs well.
    I'm glad that you got to eat at the Starlight. It's iconic. There's an old church around the corner that photographs well.
    The restaurant up in the Basin closes in December if I remember right. They are going to tear it down and rebuild it. It's going to take 2 years and the lodging will be closed too. That's a bummer. I typically stay in the Basin when I go to BiBe.
    I wish you could have hiked up to the South Rim (go up Pinnacles trail. That's my favorite way to go). When you top out... it's amazing. Take a lunch and sit at the ranger cabin park bench for a while. I could type for hours...
    Guess what's below the window? Waaaay below. Cattail Falls. Fairly short hike and when you're the only one or two there... it's amazing. I've caught it when it was just a trickle and I've caught it gushing. Never caught it dry.
    The Window Trail is not easy. I don't care what they call it. The down hill to the window is fine. The uphill hike back up, facing into the sun as it crests over Casa Grande, is tough.
    Another fun and easy location in the park is the Mariscal Mine. That's back on the River Road. Running the River Road is a kick.
    I've thought about flying out to Terlingua but that airport is sketch. I'm glad you did this video. Something to consider...
    Great video as always Josh.
