Hi guy's 🙋♀️🙋♂️.. We enjoyed the video... Very interesting about the history of the trail/stops...we like the back little roads...get to see more..we are fair weather riders... Been caught in the rain and cold weather before... We'll not do it if we can get around it... But you guys are tough... We are not... Glad to see Lulu had a jacket on also... Thanks for the video... Stay safe...J&A
Being able to travel the back roads has been the best part of this trip. We have definitely changed plans to avoid bad weather. Neither of us are interested in being miserable while we ride lol. Take care you two! ❤️
Interesting stops! Was the Presidio in a neighborhood? Looked like a neighborhood park. Lawsy, that cold weather, I hope those hands can keep good hold on the bars in 30F. Anyway, really enjoying your backroad adventures. This fall has really been cold everywhere! Stay safe out there!
So glad you're enjoying the videos! The presidio was by itself but it's only about a mile from town. Luckily I have heated hand grips, but we'll be so happy to get out of cold weather.
Kate, Bubba. 32' Frost on the winders this morning with rain on the way. Portland Oregon. Apple airtags. Help when loose stuff Bubba. Safe travels and roads Brian and Cindy, "xtreambydesign with passion"
Dang it, I wish we had thought of using air tags on our cameras. Sounds like your weather is...brrrrr!!!! We have been in the low 30s overnight but have finally found 80 degree, sunny days.
I did a bit of additional digging on the web. The information I found indicates the trail was named for the ranch it ran thru. Here is a copy of what I found: “Welcome to Toe Nail Trail. In the late 1880’s, folks a-traveling’ up to Christoval from Scabtown-- That’s what they called that collection of brothels and saloons that “serviced” Fort McKavett ‘afore it became respectable-like and re-named itself Fort McKavett -- had to follow a trail fifteen miles north of the old fort through the Toe Nail Ranch. The ranch, by the way, was named “cuz it angled in a funny way across the corner of the county. Them people in Austin done give the trail a number. Don’t rightly recall what it is. Nothing interesting about a number. Pshaw, most folks still call it Toe Nail Trail and iffen ya ask for it by that ridiculous number, you likely to get a blank stare. Lotta folks have traveled this route over the years and still do. Give ‘em a wave iffen you see some while yer out thar.”
Another stop you might try is the Marathon Motel and RV Park, in Marathon on Hwy 90, they have telescopes and star viewing sessions for guests, Look at YT TCR Marathon Motel
Hope you guys find some nice weather! Maybe some duct tape for the cat scratches. Better a cat than a hog which are very prevalent in that area and especially in Big Bend (ask me how I know! 😒)
There's nothing better than backroad traveling, so laid back.
It's so enjoyable.
Sounds chilly. Stay safe.
Thanks! We will.

Very interesting. Thank you!

Thanks! We fueled up in Marathon on the way in to Big Bend. Might be a good stopover on the way out.
Another place in Marathon is the Burnt Biscuit bakery, fresh made goodies every morning and only coffee for 75 miles

We are very lucky to not be bothered by hogs or javelin. The tape is a great idea! Much easier than trying to sew it.
@@TipsyMarlinTravels Duct tape IS a "Must Have" item. It will solve so MANY problems !!! 👌👍👍👍
Good video. Ram mount for the gonpro.
Thanks! We'll look that up and get one when we replace the camera.
We probably already asked you this but, Do you guys have Thousand Trails or can anyone stay there?
Anyone can reserve a site there, but we bought a membership. They serve a good purpose, just keep your expectations low lol.
