    Hi everyone A number of you have asked how you can watch the videos in order. On our channel's home page if you select the video tab you can then sort by oldest, newest or most popular. We have also created playlists to help you watch the videos you want. There are playlists by country, series (such as Backpacking Central America). We have also grouped all the food videos together and have one called watch from the beginning where they are all in order - hope that helps those of you wanting to watch more - have a fabulous week xx

    LOL the iron gate to our ranch has "We don't call 911" on it. Welcome to Texas!
    There's a common saying in TX- "if you don't like the weather, just wait a minute"!

    Love it. I think I told you about how, in Idaho, they’d pay us $5 per rattlesnake skin. My adventures on horses way in the back country looking for snakes. My friend nearly killing himself. I was 10! Think about that???? I rode a horse, fully loaded with guns… finding my life. I remember fishing poles…. Campfires and feeling like a king. When they say, “They don’t makem like they used to,” it’s true.

    Those old blocks making up the jailhouse are genuine Texas limestone, which exists in abundance in the Hill Country.. Locals also invented limecrete which is an early version of concrete.

    Just to let you know, with regard to the "Bat Houses"... most of the Hill Country of Texas is covered in limestone caves, that house thousands of bats. At certain times of the year the local weatherman can actually track them on radar. The largest cave in Texas is Natural Bridge Caverns north of Garden Ridge, TX, Longhorn Caverns south of Burnett, TX off HWY-281, and InnerSpace just north of Austin on I-35. Great to see you got off the Interstate, to take in the local color of the "True Texas"!

    • @yvonnetaber1859
      @yvonnetaber1859 2 года назад

      I commented on your San Antonio video and now in this video you’re in the Hill Country where I live! The Caverns would have been perfect way to spend a hot day in a VERY naturally cool and beautiful cave system. You picked some very fun places to visit, and there’s so many more. I know you are on your way elsewhere…be safe and enjoy.

    Yes, there were camels in Texas -they were stationed in Camp Verde, in central Texas, where the Army used them as beasts of burden on short supply trips to San Antonio. I have been there and also, lots to do in that whole area.

  • @sassycats2572
    @sassycats2572 2 года назад +1

  • @markr4619
    @markr4619 2 года назад +3

    The reason for the camels is becausethe US Army used to have a camel corps for trekking materiel across the harsh West Texas desert all the way to the West coast. They were found to be much more effective than cows with wagons and were used surprisingly a lot in the days before the automobile ! LOL I think they were imported from Arabia in the 1800's

    HI Chris and Marianne, you really captured the Texas Hill Country vibe in this video. The leather shop was my highlight, I’ve always wondered how they prepare snake skin for objects. You continue to meet wholesome folks who represent the area you are touring and thanks for sharing them with us. I’m so glad you got a taste of Texas rain, I bet the smell was glorious and made sleeping good. Be well and travel safely.

    That is a great purpose for that old Greyhound bus , now a goat bus !! When I was a kid I would ride buses like that with my grandmother . So cool !! You’ve probably seen the new Greyhound buses on the interstate that look like boxes. No style like the old ones.

    I know its out of the way, but the Rio Grande Valley, the southernmost tip of Texas is a treat. The Valley has incredible, authentic Mexican food and the area is pretty homogeneously bilingual with Spanish. The South Padre Island is the beach everyone goes to for spring break and it is one of the nicest Gulf Coast beaches. Maybe some travel guides would say its high in crime, but it's completely overblown and a very very unique area of the US. Hands down the closest you can get to Mexico, both figuratively and literally!

    Loving the USA videos. I have some questions: 1) Do you ask permission before filming inside shops/places of interest and how do you get staff to talk on camera? 2) How do you film without being self-conscious of people around you giving you weird looks or something? I filmed for a Vlog today and was so self-conscious. I want to be confidant like you guys.

The camels reminded me, if you go through San Diego, Ca. there is a place called Oasis Camel Dairy in nearby Ramona, Ca. and they sell a variety of camel milk products. Glad you've been able to get out into some wilder places in nature to spend the night. And yes, I watched Dallas as well, who can forget the cliff hanger....Who shot JR? Hope you've had a great weekend, take care.

    Your videos serve as FREE TRIP for your followers.
    Here is a little comment:
    When I was in New Orleans I always felt that HOT AND HUMID weather
    Which is fed by the Gulf of Mexico. You guys really need a good cooling system. I wonder if those Walmart fans are good enough to cool you at nights.
    I liked to know that, I want to buy the power source, dolar panels and the fans myself, what do you RECKON?😗
