That camping area was great. We've yet to find a place with so many free amenities. They weren't the best, but the price of free made up for that big time. Never seen an unlimited stay limit either.
Did you realize that this area has some of the most extensive pictographs in the country? They're mainly along the Pecos for a mile or 2 upstream from your location and can be accessed by a small boat launched from a ramp under that bridge. A few of us spent a couple of memorable weekends exploring and photographing them around 50 years ago.
Free.99 is the best price and easy diggings for rocks and fossils is also our style. Haha! Thanks for watching. We have some rocks for you. Can you e-mail us an address to send them? lizandcharlie@gmail.com or message on FB or IG.
that is a crazy amount of fossils , those shell plates were incredible . i guess that whole area is nothing but fossils . i need to make that trip one day looked like fun
Wow free camping and such a nice little community :) The fossils are amazing looking ! The views once again are stunning. It would be hard to leave a place like that !! Enjoyed watching 💯👍
Very cool location! Reminds me of my trip to visit my friend in Killeen Texas. The creek near her house was the same. We found so many amazing Bellerophon ( snail ) fossils and many other types like the ones you were finding. They are from the Ordovician period 488 - 444 million years ago to the Triassic period 251 - 200 million years ago. Extinct Gastropods ( snails ) The age of those shells is freaking amazing. Texas at one point in history was a huge tropical forest and their state rock is none other than Petrified Palm Wood. It's really a Rockhounds paradise when you know where to look. The cool thing is that the abundance of Rockhound Treasures make it kind of easy to find great locations to hunt as you found. Great video guys! It makes me want to head back soon!!
Thank you. If we ever make it back to Texas we are going to focus big on the fossils. We just scratched the surface. Holding something that old in your hands is just mind blowing. Texas really took us by surprise when we were told it would be terrible. I'll admit parts were, but the cool spots were worth it.
wow Love the day a day life of the Adventure closet. Your tips and tricks Liz are ingenious, Pillows and clothes bin combination genius. each having a bag of toiletries, very minimal. As a hairdresser Liz, I will give you an easy way to cut your hair. parting it down the middle make a four sections two in front two in back. first part the hair down the middle from the crown to your nose, then section off the two sides from the crown to just behind your ear gathering them up with two rosettes Long clippies or barrettes. or a shoelace to the exact amount you want to remove, try to look for the bed of the wave in your hair, you can cut that section oll at once. do the same on the other side. leave them tied up until finished. Then do the same thing to the back ones letting them fall to each shoulder blade. have Charlie tie them off leaving how much you want to trim them then just lift them over your hear look for the bed in the wave and cut in the bed straight across. It should be pretty even all around. I highly recommend a tube of blue VO45 oil for you to use on your hair daily the smallest tap on the end of the tube then rub that amount onto your finger tips and then gather up the ends of your hair and apply daily especially to the ends near your face. and residue left over put all over your hair and work it in before you comb it. A blissy pillow case will ease breakage by 90 percent consider getting a silk pillowcase. your curls deserve it. You once asked about easy to fix meals, I love rice a roni, chicken or beef. I gussy it up with bell peppers olives and sometimes artichoke hearts. your brown the meat, you brown the rice a roni's you add 2 1/2 cups of water and the packet of seasonings in the package and walla ! you have a great meal. easy peasy. love all the shell artifacts you Charlie found, much have been brought up with water sometime ago. Texas was a miserable trip for me in 1976 when we crossed her at her width in our very old willis wagon jeep.It was from 1941! with no air conditioning. We were broke down almost ever day and the long waits in the hot sun drained my enthusiasm for the trip. I was experiencing vertigo on the trip so it was an endurance trip for me. Glad you always find some of the greatest places to camp. your good at that. Best of luck on the trip. thanks for all the updates.
Hi YT Mom! Those are some excellent words of advice. I (Liz) am definitely going to try that haircut method next time. Fortunately we were travelling through TX during the lesser hot time of year. I could not imagine breaking down and not having AC out there when it can get into the 100s. Yikes! We love hearing about your travels. Thanks for sharing.
What a cool community there, that's awesome! What a great place to stay to camp. You really do show so many different sides to this world, I love it, so many amazing adventures and explorations. Not only is everyday life a learning experience, you also make a journey out of it. I loved this video! You both do amazing work, and work your butts off! Crazy with boarder control guards. Right, the mini van looks like it can hold a bunch of people inside! What awesome shell fossils, those are so cool, what a great area! Safe journeys!
Thank you. We're trying to document all the realities of this journey. The sacrifices and the perks. Sometimes your dresser is your pillow but there's cool fossils outside your bedroom door. lol! Oh and yes that was nuts about border patrol. They don't mess around down there.
Just found your channel and I think y’all are great. The 2 fossils that you found were echinoids they’re sea urchins ,some of the better preserved ones have a five point star like a sand dollar
I went camping at Falcon last year. Most of the water spigotes are bagged up because & I quote the older man that came to greet me here " Some RUclipsr washed out her hair dye with one. " So there's no water at most of the sites now. I can't find a way to say this politely but eff you for that. The shower wasn't that far away. I am very salty about that but I do enjoy the rest of your content.
Mixed emotions with your comment here, but doubtful they closed up the spigot because of us. We rinsed everything really well. I'm sure they're shut down because of aging plumbing. Glad you enjoy the test of the content we show. Next time I will try and do better. ✌️
@TheAdventureCloset As a fellow human I understand that we don't want to make mistakes. He said they still work but all got covered at the same time by the county officials for the above reason. Hair dye is full of harmful chemicals that don't rinse out of the soil. My first comment was on the unkind side and I'm sorry for that. We all screw up from time to time.
That little camping community was awesome! I wish there were more places like that. Great find with all the fossils! Totally cool
That camping area was great. We've yet to find a place with so many free amenities. They weren't the best, but the price of free made up for that big time. Never seen an unlimited stay limit either.
That view of the river from the bridge was awesome…..good that you found a place for camping with everything you need……great video guys!
It was lots of lucky finds. We were determined to find the best of Texas and I think we really did. Thank you!
Nice fossils! Love the variety of forms they come in!
They were really interesting. Turns out Texas has fossils just about everywhere you look. We might just have to go back.

No we did not!!! That would have been amazing to go see. We certainly missed a lot in Texas.
Thanks for taking us along on another adventure! I loved seeing the fossil hunt at the end!
Thanks for watching! The fossils are always our favorite parts about your videos. You've helped us a ton with identification.
That was a nice adventure.
Cool camp spot free.99!!
Wow so many fossils that looked like a really good spot, with minimum work needed to collect.

Oh cool, ok I'll send a email out my bad took a while to see this 👍
that is a crazy amount of fossils , those shell plates were incredible . i guess that whole area is nothing but fossils . i need to make that trip one day looked like fun
If we go back to TX we're going for the fossils. We were finding them everywhere. It was a lot of fun!

Oh we could have stayed at that fossil bed for days. They were endless, but Opal would have been bursting at the seams! lol

What an awesome find!! It was nice to see how and what you brought with you. We are going through stuff now and we still have so much we don’t need.
You really do find out that you don't need all that much. Just don't skimp on the emergency stuff. You will have flats and dead alternators.
We just blew a spark plug 😢 $300 later….🤦🏽♀️
@@moandjen ah man! The Hot Mess Express is testing ya'll.
Daily 😂😂 But we love this ride!!
@@moandjen that's how the love is built. Through all the memories and hard work. We just can't wait for you guys to get rollin.
Nice video guys!!
I'm really glad to see you,you make amazing videos!!
Good follow-up to you!!
Thank you so much. We have a lot of fun.

That camping site is awesome , I wish I would have camped on my trip :( ... and I love the gastropods , those are some great looking death plates
Thanks. We made some lucky finds in this part of TX. Would love to go try our luck again for more fossils out that way.
@@TheAdventureCloset I hear there are ammonites in Texas ...Big ones... but sadly no idea where

I really like that you do that, and appreciate it. The rocks are just an added bonus on the already cool life adventure!
I prefer places that have less people as well. Beauty day out in nature is the best. Good catch with the dog! Wonderful find on the fossils.
If it gets too peoply it just takes from it. Thank you for watching! Saw you got a new one too. Be over in a few.😃
Awesome finds we love camping too in europa.
Thank you. Are you a full time traveler?
Was that a brown praying mantis? The bridge and fossil finds were pretty awesome!
We think it was some sort of mantis. It definitely was brown so you probably nailed it. Cool bug! Thanks for watching Lori!
wow, that was amazing
Thank you! It's a wild journey we're on.
@@TheAdventureCloset it’s a beautiful free spirit experience
หมู่บ้านเล็กๆนั่นน่ารักมากเหมาะกับการพักแรม และการค้นพบซากหอยก็น่าตื่นเต้นมาก เป็นการเดินทางที่สนุกและน่าติดตาม New Subscriber here!

Oh wow! How cool is that. Thank you. We're glad you found us and enjoyed.
Fun stuff! :D
We have similar ideas of fun. Hope your trailer is coming along nicely.

Those one fossils you asked about could be like the head of a crinoid, maybe
Oh really? Didn't think about that. Cool! Thank you.
