A Texas River Hiding 100 Million Years of History - The San Gabriel

- A short film about an otherwise quiet, understated river in central Texas and how it has shaped and impacted everything around it for millennia.
We often like to think that we are above and beyond the effects of even small rivers in the modern age, but in reality, we are still very much at their mercy.

Native Texan here, very well done video. You deserve way more subscribers with this quality of content. Keep on the grind, I have no doubt you will succeed through this medium.
Excellent!
I lived in Georgetown from 1985 to 2013, and now live in San Saba. I have floated and kayaked in both forks of the San Gabriel and hunted between it and Willis Creek and fished on Granger and Georgetown Lakes. Really enjoyed your storytelling and history of the river!

Born and raised here in TX and I still find fascinating stores about it, esp. the hill country. Excellent short film!
Excellent story telling!
what a magnificent article of the historical impact/effect of our Texas rivers. Your presentation style is so accessible, please continue with your research and presentation/preservation of our Texas river history.
Born in Taylor, moved to Georgetown and never been more than 15 miles from the San Gabriel. Thank you for doing such an amazing piece on her. I have a deep connection with every place you visited. From the camp tejas at Georgetown, to the bridge on 366 (my grandpas friend used to own that house with the big satellite dish btw) it was really great to learn some things I didn’t know, and see these places again
This was pretty cool video !
Really nice video. Beautifully shot. I’ve soent a lot of time exploring the San Gabriel, especially the South Fork near where I have family. I think it’s one of the prettiest rivers in the state. So much history too as you documented so well in this video. Nicely done!
Thank you!
Amazing river and super lucky to live next to it!
Awesome river that a lot of people don't pay attention too or forget. Glad someone finally showcased it.
Thanks for watching!
Let me know what river or part of Texas you'd love to see next!
Would love to see a focus on the formation of the Highland Lakes and the larger history/importance of the LCRA to the region. Love your work!
Medina/Bandera has some awesome stuff
I've always said the story of the Trinity is one that deserves a deeper look.
The Lampasas River and Stillhouse Hollow Lake would be great. Have a small place there and it's a pretty stunning view and bridge on 3481/Stillhouse Lake Rd with the lake over full now. Lots of history from marine fossils, the Gault site, Maxdale Bridge, Hanna Springs, prohibition era liquor stills that the lake was named after, and the current water pipeline to Lake Georgetown.
Amazing video dude the quality is insane for a few hundred views, subbed and notifed cant wait to see any new texas content
Thank you!
More coming soon!
Longtime Texas river lover here...just wanted to say thank you! Everything about your vid is on-target and very well done. Exvellent!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The music fits so perfectly with the cuts. Great edit!
Thanks!
Loving the longer format and the drone shots especially!
Liberty Hill areas...both north and south, have found some nice points over the years.
We love this video! Our apartment community is located close to this river so we decided to learn more about it. Great editing, Dylan. 🛶
Excellent video
Thank you very much!

9:03 According to the map, the Worley Bridge is on County Road 428.
Beautiful river and the springs that flow into it. Unfortunately, many springs are drying out because of man's use for drinking, ranching and farming. Jacob's Well a well known spring has zero flow because of over pumping the aquifer. Many rivers are contaminated by chemicals from man even though we have laws against doing that but no one to enforce them.
Unfortunately very true.
Talking about the springs, water cycle, and other environmental impacts on the watersheds is definitely one of the videos we want to make!
We love our rivers and springs and we want to help educate more people about why it's important to protect them
Great video and narration. Im also in georgetown tx. Didnt know about the dinosaur tracks. Would like to take my grandson to them. Can u give me directions to them?
The railroad bridge is not a truss structure. It is a combination wood bent structure plus two steel deck girder on masonarry spans.
how can it be 100 million years, when the earth is only around 10 thousands.
That's just the youngest turtle that is that age, the turtles below that are much older.
