I used to go to Enchanted Rock when it was privately owned in the 70's We pitched our tent on top of the dome and the biggest storm came through it was a terrifying night followed by a gorgeous day. It was actually the first time I saw a rattlesnake he was up there on top with us.
That’s a cool story , I went last year for the first time and I loved it . But never did I imagine camping up there , I’m sure y’all saw so many stars !?
Voll interessant ! Really interesting tour, as all your trips are ! I really like your TX channel, it's informative, funny and always full of surprises. Thank you and your team and best wishes from Germany.
There is also an elephant habitat just outside the city that lets you get close and interact with them. (Not a zoo) It is about $100 per person I think, (give or take?) and you need reservation to take part.
I used to live across from the museum when it was under construction on Austin St. My brothers and I would sneak in and climb all over the tanks and have our own battles. Almost got caught several times by security
Been awhile since I’ve had a good meal in Fredericksburg. Certainly not at the Auslander. I guess when you walk in with a camera crew they step up their game. It’s not bad, just not good. Better to just enjoy the vibe
As a German, I always have to laugh when I see places and restaurants like this. Germany doesn't look like that. There are restaurants that look like this in Bavaria, but there are only tourists there. The food isn't German either, it's Bavarian.
The town was founded by German settlers and maintained much of the culture, many of those settlers came from Bavaria. It was founded around the time Bavaria joined the German Empire. German is still spoken by many there and Texas-German is a dialect just as Bavarian is. They are aesthetics and some traditions carried on by descendants of settlers who are proud of their heritage, they are not trying to emulate your modern Germany.
@@macdhomhnaill7721 When I was there a few years ago, nobody spoke German any more. I know the history of the city. But traditions are cultivated there that never existed in Bavaria or Germany. Not even at the time of the emigrants. It's more of a Disneyland based on what people make up in their imagination.
@@nataschaha9470 I know several who do. You mentioned Bavarian aesthetics and there was an explanation for that. As far as “Disneyland” goes, that’s quite patronizing and is hardly something you’d say to Irish folk in Ireland who are trying to keep some classic tradition alive in their modern spin on things. Things change and evolve. America was a British colony, and it developed its own identity, but does not ignore its British roots. It’s seen in much of its government architecture. Yes, change tends to happen over centuries, especially the last few. Acknowledging roots isn’t bad just because it’s Americans doing it. I’d wager not one person in the state of Texas declares Fredericksburg a perfect representation of modern or even early-modern Germany. I for one am happy to see people (even ones who dare live on the North American continent) remember where they came from while molding it to who they have become, as they have every right to do as it is their heritage. They are Germanic people same as you, they just live elsewhere, and their ancestors are your ancestors.

‘Austin Daytripper’ talk about a “blast from the past”…👍
Season 1 Episode 5. But it's worthy of a rewatch.
Had no idea the show used to be called "The Austin Daytripper", but it kinda makes sense. Start local/small and branch out...BIG branching out!! LOL
Yes, although he lives in Georgetown
Chet looks so young! Good to see these episodes i never saw on PBS 🎉
I also like the trail on the left side of enchanted rock. Theres a little oasis there. After that, take the perimeter trail clockwise to turkey peak
Rathskeller Bistro is my favorite restaurant in Fredericksburg. It's small but the food is amazing.
Fredericksburg is a great city to visit, always a awesome adventure.❤ The people are so friendly and kind.
Love it. Been to the top and the Caves. Great Video.
We don't have basements in South Texas because the water table is high, not because digging is hard.
ENCHANTED ROCK! Let's go, Kelbo!
From the thumbnail, I thought it was Hannibal Lecter eating German cuisine and a German. 😮😂
There is also an elephant habitat just outside the city that lets you get close and interact with them. (Not a zoo)
It is about $100 per person I think, (give or take?) and you need reservation to take part.
The pioneer museum is nice too
Fredericksburg ❤ is my favorite place ❤

Try Otto's or Derlindenbaum. Missing out on Quintessential Chocolate and Messena Hof.
The title says season 1, episode 5, but the description notes it was in season 5. Any clarification?
Definitely season 1,
@@jasondelaney6849 I figured after watching. Chet looked so young.
Linda is high on that photo in the credits:P
It is fun
Love Chet & his excellent team & sponsors too !
Cool
One of my scariest experiences lol
Chet looks like a college freshman haha
I almost was.

Good place to get beer. But I would not eat there.
Ya hallo folks…Fredericksburg ist eine nette Texas burg
It says Fredericksburg

Basically a Texas tourist trap. Overpriced strip mall in the middle of nowhere surrounded by grape farms.
Still a punctuated destination that gives you a reason to try it out for yourself. Pros and cons always come with that.
I bet this guy is from Dallas
Chet has hair......kinda.
BABY CHET!!!
My ex-husband Bruce climbed it
Don't eat at Otto's in Fredericksburg. Terrible.
Like #77
