Me and my wife, Regina, live in Longview, Tx. We’re going to buy our first RV soon and we’re excited to find your channel via Grand Adventure video in Padre Island seashore. Looking forward to seeing more of your informative and relaxing videos
I watched this video in the past when it was released. I was rewatching to plan a trip for next year. Im sad to say, it looks like Bison Fest has not happened since 2022, and the cafe is temporarily closed. I was looking forward to them both. Thanks for the video.
That’s too bad! While you’re in town, check out The Coffee Mill. We had great lunches there last time we were in town (a few years after this video was filmed). www.coffeemillandmercantile.com/
We have been there on day trip. It would be nice to make a circuit trip to Palo Duro, Cap Rock, and Copper Breaks State Parks. I would like to see some of Melany’s star art. I love the stars and some of our State Parks are a great place to see them.
I'm looking for a suggestion. I'm planning a trip for next May. I know we are going to start at Palo Duro Canyon State Park, I'm trying to decide between Caprock Canyons vs Copper Breaks for the second half of our trip. I'm leaning towards Caprock Canyons and doing a day trip or two to Copper Breaks.
That's a tough call. We really enjoy both Caprock Canyons and Copper Breaks. But I think if we had to decide between the 2, we'd go with Caprock Canyons. We love watching the bison and the prairie dogs. Both parks are beautiful and have good hiking so you can't go wrong either way. Enjoy your trip!
@@rvamericayall Thanks for the reply! We will have 21 nights out total, so I'll have plenty of time to do day trips to the other park. I have a popup, and carry too much stuff.. so I don't want to pack up and move camp more than once.
Thanks Ray! The only real issue we have had is with the refrigerator. It wasn’t cooling properly or making ice. But we fixed that ourselves the other day.
@@rvamericayall Thanks we have a gas class A and may get a diesel in the near future, not real familiar with the engine on your coach looks like it runs great. thanks
We have a 275hp Cummins which is small by diesel standards but works great for this coach. Our 35’ Palazzo had a 300hp Cummins. We have been very happy with the Cummins engines. What we like most about the diesel pushers vs the Class A gas that we had is that the cockpit is quieter and cooler since the engine is in the rear. The ride is also smoother.
Lived for several years in Lampasas. And yes, it is LamPAsas. Even heard people pronounce it LampasASS. South of there is Burnett (not Bur-nett. Its Burnit durnit cant you learn it). LOL. Lived in both back in the 80's. Beautiful hill country. Had to move back to Houston (Crosby) for a better paying career.
How cool must it be to camp with the Bison around! We'll have to get out there one day. Its just under 5 hours from where we live. I love those vintage tractors! I'll check out Melany's webpage, I'm looking for some earrings for my wife for Christmas and the ones I see here are very cute, just her style.
Hi David! Y’all will love Caprock Canyons. It is definitely worth the drive! Thanks for checking out Melany’s jewelry. She makes everything by hand. It’s good quality stuff!
I am writing again to tell ya'll how very much I enjoyed this video. I know how beautiful it is! We have been there. Our saddle club used to ride horses there Before the bison were allowed to roam free. But I don't ride there anymore, but rather we just go camping there. We have had rain for a few days , first week of Oct. I am such a fan. May God bless yall always. We live just outside of Lubbock.
Hi Coral! Thank you so much. We bet that riding through the canyon was quite an incredible experience! It’s nice to have such an amazing park not too far from your home. We always look forward to our next visit there.
I used to live over there in Lampasas (or as we called it-Lampas ass)lol. Actually nice place. But, 30 years ago, I moved back to Houston to be what I am months away from retiring from. Heck, may meet yall one day out there soon.....Keith
Just returned home from Albuquerque, NM and watched your video! Loved how you showcased Quitaque, TX and the campground. As a matter of fact, Caprock Canyon State Park is on our bucket list to visit within the next year!
Hi Dino! Welcome home! Glad y’all enjoyed the Balloon Fiesta. We love Quitaque and Caprock Canyons State Park. We can’t wait to see pics from your visit there. Y’all will love it!
Hi Susan! Thank you!! You will LOVE Caprock Canyons and Bison Fest! Beautiful scenery, amazing wildlife, and great people! We always have tons of fun there.
OBTW, yall have brought some valuable information to a fellow sgt and I on making first RV trips in home state before we both move to bigger and better. Than you so much.
Great video! Y'all crack me up! I sure wish we had the time to go up there to Caprock! Until we can break away, we live vicariously through your videos!! 😁 I don't know if it will show up here but this has the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. That's the actual name of the classic fable. mentalfloss.com/article/63386/enduring-legacy-pied-piper-hamelin
@@rvamericayall I've been bugging Mickey about it! 😉 Can't wait to get up there and try Bison Cafe and enjoy the beauty of the area. Oh, and I LOVE your new cap!❤❤❤
I’m looking at Caprock and it says they have WIFI. Were y’all able to get a signal without that booster? I’d love to be able to go up there while teaching online!
I would recommend you buy the RainX washer fluid. Once you use it you will never use anything else. Its orange in color and your visibility will improve a lot.
Hi Sam! You just made our day! We haven’t had a chance to explore the city of Tyler yet. But we LOVED our visit to Tyler State Park! Here’s our video in case you haven’t seen it... ruclips.net/video/78g-AtdNgYo/видео.html
Do y’all like Caprock Caynons campsite and views better than Palo Duro caynons campsites and views better ,I haven’t been to either one ,but will be going soon
We like them both, Randy. It’s 2 different experiences. At Caprock, the RV camping loop is up on the canyon rim. At Palo Duro, all camping is on the canyon floor. Definitely do both!
Another excellent video. Everything sure was nice and green around Caprock Canyons area...bet they really appreciated the rain. Quitaque is a neat little town...saw it when we visited the state park last spring. Thought Turkey was cute too. Will have to look into that Bison festival. Looks like fun. Happy travels. 😀
Thanks for joining us on this journey, y'all! If you'd like to see our original video featuring Caprock Canyons State Park, please check out ruclips.net/video/z4ihYCst8_I/видео.html. And, as always, you can find more about this trip on our website: rvtexasyall.com/rv-lifestyle/rv-trip-quitaque-texas-bison-fest. Safe travels and happy camping!
You’re very welcome. We prefer the diesel over our gas because it has air suspension that give us a smoother ride, and since the engine is in the rear, the cockpit is quieter and cooler. The maintenance is more expensive on a diesel, but the engines are typically built to handle a lot more miles in their lifetime.
When we were there we had freezing weather, have you been to the Bob Wills museum ? Our Arkansas FMCA club will be in Mineola TX for the Tyler Rose Fesival.
The Pied Piper: The true story of the Pied Piper. Everyone knows the tale of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, who lured 130 children away by playing his pipe, but few people realise that the story is based on real events, which took place on the day of Saints John and Paul on 26 June in the town of Hamelin, Lower Saxony, Germany in 1284.
We had freezing weather when we stopped there a few years ago. Have you been to the Bob Will museum ? Our Arkansas FMCA club will be in Mineola, TX for the Tyler Rose Fesival in a couple weeks.
We were saying during this visit, we’d like to see the park in the winter (as long as there was no ice on the roads). We haven’t visited the Bob Wills Museum yet, but it’s on our list! We hear great things about the Tyler Rose Festival! Have fun!!
I live in Georgia and I get a kick out of how badly the "GPS lady" mispronounces the names of most of the towns around here, especially the ones that are of Native American origin...it's a hoot...I think Star wants a Bison Burger ;-)...along those lines the Bison Cafe is on my list of places to visit while in Texas...
I am a winter Texan and have just found your videos. Love them! But when you are talking I wish you didn't have music in the background. Hard for older people to hear. Keep up the videos!
I love driving in the rain
Always a fun experience... not! LOL
I love driving in major rain storms
That’s interesting 🤨
My man said, slow it down, like a true Texan, in the left lane, passing all the slow drivers. 😂😂😂
🤣
fun vid safe travels
Thanks Allan! Hope you’re having a great week!
thanks its been good [graduated from my walker to my cane]
That is GREAT news!! Glad to hear it!

Looks familiar. I believe that is Anson TX with the court house
We love this entire area Matt

I just suscribe to your channel.
Greetings from North Texas.
Welcome Mario! We're glad you found us.

Looks like a fun time!
It was Linda! We love that area and always have fun at Bison Fest!
enjoyed the video. very interesting
Thank you Todd!
I HATE driving on interstate in a storm! Makes me SO nervous! Glad y’all had a safe trip!
Thanks Cindy! We were definitely glad when we got past the rain.
We had our first experience with it last week. We can do the rain, the wind had us white-knuckling it down I20 for 200 miles!
Yikes! Yeah, the winds are no fun to drive in.

Awesome! Would love to see the map of your route. 😊 Look forward to your other vids.
That’s a great idea Monica! We will see if we can figure out how to work in a map in the future.
That's funny your in the hammer lane passing every thing on the road saying your slowing down
It was raining so hard, we were only going about 30mph. The water was pooling in the middle lane so those folks were going a lot slower.
Awesome video! Now I know how to say Quitaque! Can't wait to see where y'all go next!
Thanks! We love that town. 😁
6:16 Doggo check in.
Star loves to travel!

Hi Rick & Mona! Thank you! We appreciate you joining us on our adventures. Have a great day!

Hey Jennifer! We LOVE Caprock! It's been a few years since we've been there, but last time we were there they did not have park wi-fi.
@@rvamericayall thanks for responding! I’ll call them to check.
I would recommend you buy the RainX washer fluid. Once you use it you will never use anything else. Its orange in color and your visibility will improve a lot.
Thank you Paul!
I find myself eager for your videos. Ever visit Tyler Texas? Thanks you two very much. Sam

Looks like tough driving you guys be safe out there enjoy your journey. ☕️🍩
Thanks David! It was a real mess, but we made it through safely and had a great time in Quitaque. We appreciate you watching!
Where do you travel in the winter?
Where ever the weather let’s us! 😁 (but so far always in the south)
Yup, pied piper used his music to drive mice from town. When the town didn't pay, he used his music to draw out all the children. Lol
Do y’all like Caprock Caynons campsite and views better than Palo Duro caynons campsites and views better ,I haven’t been to either one ,but will be going soon
We like them both, Randy. It’s 2 different experiences. At Caprock, the RV camping loop is up on the canyon rim. At Palo Duro, all camping is on the canyon floor. Definitely do both!

LOL! Thanks for coming along. Glad you enjoyed it!
I keep hearing all say slow down but you was passing every car on the Road
Hi Thomas. With the rain we were going about 30mph. The center lane was going much slower since water was pooling in their lane.

Have you guys download that app . I drive taxes it has the live camera is on your highway systems that will let you know where the heavy traffic is.
No, we hadn't heard about that one, David. Thanks for the tip... we will look for it!
RV Texas Y'all yes they have cameras all over Texas cities and it’s Drive Texas.
Thank you. We found the website DriveTexas.org. Good info!
Hey guys since you have done both, is it easier to drive a Deisel compared to a gas engine rig?
Hi! Yes, we personally like driving the diesel better than our old gas motorhome.
Ty so much. Trying to decide. We feel like you. We have a Fleetwood boulder 35.
You’re very welcome. We prefer the diesel over our gas because it has air suspension that give us a smoother ride, and since the engine is in the rear, the cockpit is quieter and cooler. The maintenance is more expensive on a diesel, but the engines are typically built to handle a lot more miles in their lifetime.
We need an HEB and Gringos in Phoenix. Oh yea, GO STROS
They need to work on that! :)
Might as well back the Astros. Texans 1 and out again in post. sigh. Still love them though
Go Astros!
