Kevin Baker I'm still LMAO over that Target! I didn't see a Coral Snake. Another poisonous snake found along the coastal areas of the south. Blue Sky's and Safe Journeys!
That 6 second shot was totally worth the time you put into it. When you take extra effort to do something special it says a lot about how much you care about your product. I was impressed.
+Nomadic Fanatic you should have a user meet one day, so people can get your autograph take pictures with you etc... in large city, padre island was a bit remote
The production of your videos is very good. The edits and filming are very well done. Many people on you tube could learn a lot about how a video should be presented by checking yours out.
Oh my goodness, I laughed out loud at that Target. I wonder if it was originally supposed to be a drop box of sorts for people in that area to pick up packages.
Thanks for another nice video. The Target is just an example of some West Texas Humor. There is a similar Prada Store in Marfa. You're blowing through the best part of Texas, in my opinion. Alpine, Marathon, Marfa, Ft. Davis, Terlingua, Big Bend NP are some of the most interesting and beautiful places in the state. The weather out there this time of year is great, also. Happy Camping
Like the new intro. Loved the shot of you driving over the bridge. You put so much time into your videos. Great work! Target bldg. was funny! Wow, I knew there were different rattlers, but was not aware of so many. Safe travels to you and Jax no matter where you roam.
I honestly have to say your videos are better without her and to me at least you seem happier and more carefree. The best advice I can give you man is Karma will always get you there's no out running it. Keep the positive vibes and work hard to make old mistakes right and ignore the haters as long as your in the right.
Great video. I liked the shot of the RV going over the river bridge. You took the time to name all the snakes, awesome. You do some brilliant editing. Thanks
Awesome video, as usual. You do go to great lengths to produce excellent videos. You have the "Best" sound level audio editing of anyone I watch. So many channels have their volume levels all over the place. One second you have to turn up the volume to hear conversations and the next it's so loud you're scrambling to turn it down. Thanks for sharing. Be safe, enjoy the journey.
"FIRST!" I LIKE IT WHEN YOU CHANGE THE INTRO TO DIFFERENT SCENIC VIEWS! Never knew there were so many varieties of rattle snakes. Keep on truckin Eric.
Hi Eric, I found your channel about a month ago and must say despite all of the rude comments you speak of I think you do an excellent job with all aspects of your channel. It gives me great pleasure to see your art of filming and editing put together to produce some excellent viewing of some places I would probably not get to see and some I might. You give me hope that someday I can escape the cold and snow of Northern Indiana winters and start chasing 70 when my wife retires UofND. Keep up the great work. If you get back to Northern Indiana some time look me up and we can have a cup of coffee and a conversation. Maybe we can squeeze you in our driveway for a short stay. Stay safe and happy, Roger
I'm wondering how you got the very distant shot of your RV driving across the bridge. You must have put a lot of effort to setup the camera position for that shot. Nice!
I posted a video over on Patreon talking about the shot. Yes, I left my Canon camera back at the campsite, drove back out to the highway, drove over the bridge, made a u turn, drove back towards the campsite again, came back to get the camera, and then I "really" left the campsite. Often times, I may be putting a little too much effort into a 6 second shot.... But it's fun to do.
Really cool shot your van going across the bridge from a distance. Really liked that part. Probably an uneasy feeling leaving your camera their filming. Also frantic rush crossing bridge, jajaja! Anyway thought that was a nice affect.
Loved the long shot of you driving over the bridge! So cool! I also admire you for how much you seem to have grown personally. You roll with the punches much better and keep such a positive outlook which, in turn, actually helps you KEEP a positive outlook! I always look forward to your videos😊 God Bless🙏
You are traveling west. Keep eye out along border and keep safe. Great video as always. Hopefully your feeling better today. There's always tomorrow to look forward too.
Had to laugh at the Target store made me think of the time last year when we were traveling into WY from SD and we seen a stove in the middle of a field with the oven door open and the sign next to it said OPEN RANGE....hahahahahaha
Great video!. That one was fun. I felt like I was there. The Target store made me laugh. haha and that was quite a collection of snakes. It was great to see them there, not on a trail. lol Thanks for the video, Eric.
OMG, we laughed so hard when you showed the target store.. .. only Google or the GPS could make this believable... LOL. The rattlesnakes were awesome. Thanks for sharing! Drive safe.
I can't believe you didn't boondock at the Marfa Mystery Lights Viewing Station. I was there 2 weeks ago, and did actually see the lights out in the desert! too bad you missed that! And Big Bend National Park?????? You blew right by??? oy!
I've only seen one rattle snake in my entire life (and I heard it before I saw it)! Nature and wildlife is so fascinating to me...thats a cool little spot 👍
I have been for Fort Davis before, there is a observatory nearby so the city uses street lights that produce very little light pollution making views of the night sky's wonderful.
Love the prank. I'm from the west coast as well. I just love when your on the side roads and there is barely another car. Americans don't realize how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful and mostly empty place. Keep on truckin. Love your vids. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
#55 Good Morning Eric and Jax: Sorry that you drove by Langtry, Texas. Maybe next time. Some rest areas have signs posted in "dog runs" to alert folks to be on the look out for snakes. Lovely country, cute "Target"---I saw that one, too! That's why I love to travel---you get to see things of interest----fun.
That is funny ! Not to someone needing some basic shopping , but still...Love the scenery I have never been to this part of our country, also thanks for sharing the historic markers. The snakes and reptiles I personally could drive right past. To me this is # 1 reason NOT to camp /sleep on the ground and to have some type of RV !
Hey, Eric, I have been watching for a couple of days and really enjoyed the artistic aspects of the photography and also your story. I was hooked when you were in upstate New York and drove to the 2-floor Walmart that I go to. Then you went up Route 7 to Bennington Vermont a trip I take to get away from it all...... keep entertaining people and traveling around. You have inspired me to the lifestyle..
Keep having fun buddy, jax is your true hero and best friend, give him kisses for us, be safe,keep moving forward, life is a journey...barb and Joe in Tennessee..
interesting to see all those different types of rattlers... had no idea either there was one in the Pacific northwest...would have thought it too cold.
Gotta love west Texas - not may stores, but a lot of nothing unless it bites, stings or pokes you.. Thanks for your awesome comments about the Pecos River Rest Area, We love it as well and only 30 min from home. Also I sent you an email a few days ago..
Love the shot of you crossing the bridge that was cool. Had to be scary to leave your camera behind like that. If it was me I could not get back to it fast enough. Have a good day see you in the next vid.
OMG, LOL for sure. I REALLY laughed out loud for a couple of minutes over that Target. That was sooo funny. So glad you filmed it. I loved Ft. Davis. Did you see the fort? You were only 3 miles from Ft. Davis State Park - another cool place to visit, and about 30 miles from the McDonald Observatory. I went there, but got there after it closed. I really want to go back and visit Ft. Davis again. It doesn't look like it, being a very small town, but there's a lot to do nearby. On Highway 90, you may have passed right by the Prada Store, lol, and not even know it. Google Prada Marfa. It's right on Highway 90, west of Marfa, just west of the tiny town of Valentine, Texas. It was built as a piece of art. It's a tiny store front, and behind the glass are real Prada shoes and handbags. Unfortunately, after it was built with the shoes on display, it got robbed. I guess they broke the glass. So now there are still shoes in the window, but only one foot of each shoe, not a pair. It's really cool. Do take a minute to Google it. There's so much nearby, although you don't really know it just going down the road. Do think about coming back. Eric, you are an awesome videographer. I was doing some amateur photography, but never had time to learn videography. Your bridge shot was amazing, as well as the time lapse from your dashboard. Very cool.
LOL on the faux Target!! I suppose you could send a revision request to Google to update their info. Wow about all of those rattlesnake varieties. As a hiker & camper, I've had numerous encounters with them, some where I've almost got bit. I don't know what your plans are, but if you keep heading west on I-10, it is the annual international gem & mineral fest in Tucson. Happy Trails!
The bridge shot was great! I haven't been down that road. I've been all over Texas, but it's quite a sizable state. Laredo is preferably my least favorite location. Stayed in Cross Plains to visit a friend. Bought my guitar in Abilene. Just passed through Amarillo a couple days ago, left Santa Rosa, NM heading to Joplin, MO. Left Joplin at sunset and arrived in Chicago at Dawn. Catching Zs in a warehouse parking lot.
I hope you visit the old Ft Davis which is outside the town. It has been preserved and nice to see. There is a nice park too. Also there is a great scenic drive and McDonald Observatory. You are in an area where you can experience the old west.
Hey, from Sept.22,2024..... That's so wow! I remember as a child I guess it was route 66 before they put in the interstate we used to stop at those picnic areas just like the one that was behind you at the beginning of the video. What I remember the most as far as the eye could see it was white sand beautiful white sand and it had shells seashells of all sorts. Probably was in my early teens. Or maybe younger I just know for the 10 years 1970s we travel to California stayed with Grandma and enjoyed California and it's beautiful Hay Day.
Some of those roads in Texas are a bunch of miles of nothing followed by a "What the heck" moment! I traveled the road that follows the Red River. Some cool things to see along that road also!
Wow this video had SO much in it. Some of the prettiest country is where you are in this video. I liked the shot of you going across the river. Was hoping we could ride along with you across it though. Amazing scenery everywhere. Loved the new music you got on the vid. I would have nightmares after seeing all of those rattlesnakes. Wonder how likely it is to run into one of them in the desert. Hope you found a safe place to over night park.
The little building dubbed 'Target Marathon'... according to an article I found, apparently it popped up out of the blue a year ago, possibly as some kind of road site 'art'.
Marathon was an interesting place I visited many years ago. The one thing that sticks out was a diner right there by hwy 90 and 385. You walk in and immediately you feel like your back in the 1850s cowboy days. I ordered a soft drink and they made it right in front of me with soda water and syrup. Pretty cool at the time. Keep traveling, I enjoy your videos. :-)
just wanted to say I love the video. its cool to get to see some of the places I might not ever get to see on my own. keep up the good work. stay safe, and have fun.
You just created a world wide attraction; the smallest Target store in the world.
Kevin Baker I'm still LMAO over that Target! I didn't see a Coral Snake. Another poisonous snake found along the coastal areas of the south.

Nice video, Eric. Love how you put all that effort into filming yourself crossing the bridge. That's why we love your work!
Thanks for the very interesting visit. You definitely have a talent for digging out unique places to visit.
eric your doing fantastic man , keep on a trucking i love your vids, watch everyday
Your video technique is constantly improving...good job
The production of your videos is very good. The edits and filming are very well done. Many people on you tube could learn a lot about how a video should be presented by checking yours out.
Thank you for keeping Texas clean!
That 'Target' shack was hilarious! Cool snakes & reptiles. Thanks.
Oh my goodness, I laughed out loud at that Target. I wonder if it was originally supposed to be a drop box of sorts for people in that area to pick up packages.
So many different types of snakes out there. thanks for sharing Eric very cool. Safe travels buddy.👍
Thanks for another nice video.
The Target is just an example of some West Texas Humor. There is a similar Prada Store in Marfa.
You're blowing through the best part of Texas, in my opinion. Alpine, Marathon, Marfa, Ft. Davis, Terlingua, Big Bend NP are some of the most interesting and beautiful places in the state. The weather out there this time of year is great, also.

Thank you.
seem to be doing fine...keep up the good work...ignore the haters
crazy how Ziggy broke up with Jax
I honestly have to say your videos are better without her and to me at least you seem happier and more carefree. The best advice I can give you man is Karma will always get you there's no out running it. Keep the positive vibes and work hard to make old mistakes right and ignore the haters as long as your in the right.
OMG, that is hilarious!! A tiny Target in the middle of nowhere!! Love following and watching you and Jax.
Great video. I liked the shot of the RV going over the river bridge. You took the time to name all the snakes, awesome. You do some brilliant editing. Thanks
and we are back to the Eric we know so we start to see Jax and America again.
Nice up load thanx.
lmbo love the Target bro lol thats funny. Well they gave you a target ha

GOOD MORNING BEAST NOMADIC FANTASTIC ERIC JAX RUclips VIDEO 🐈🐈
hope you and Morgan are still talking she's just like you good people
"FIRST!" I LIKE IT WHEN YOU CHANGE THE INTRO TO DIFFERENT SCENIC VIEWS! Never knew there were so many varieties of rattle snakes. Keep on truckin Eric.

Keep up the great work. If you get back to Northern Indiana some time look me up and we can have a cup of coffee and a conversation. Maybe we can squeeze you in our driveway for a short stay.
Stay safe and happy,

Jax has a camera only for him. That's really cool ! ahahha
Cheers,
Roger.

Haii Eric
Back to normal
No obstacles on ure video
I enjoy again..
Keep moving
You're making me want to go to Texas and I never thought I'd say that.. Gorgeous scenery and your vids are very well done.
thanks!
Oh, Eric...."Target"!!! LOL! (: Harsh, but beautiful landscape.
Beautiful snakes. I'm so glad you like to visit the unique and different spots.
these are the kind of videos why I watch this channel! just showing places and things around :)
Really cool shot your van going across the bridge from a distance. Really liked that part. Probably an uneasy feeling leaving your camera their filming. Also frantic rush crossing bridge, jajaja! Anyway thought that was a nice affect.
Loved the long shot of you driving over the bridge! So cool!
I also admire you for how much you seem to have grown personally. You roll with the punches much better and keep such a positive outlook which, in turn, actually helps you KEEP a positive outlook!
I always look forward to your videos😊
God Bless🙏
Enjoy your videos Eric and seeing all the places you visit , keep it up dude!
Great too see your heading in that direction Lots to see and do ahead ...
That Target was hilarious! The snake, not so much! Safe travels my friend.
I would never have seen that Target without you showing me this video. Thanks Eric!
That was pretty funny!!
Thank you for picking up the trash anyway.
You are traveling west. Keep eye out along border and keep safe. Great video as always. Hopefully your feeling better today. There's always tomorrow to look forward too.
Had to laugh at the Target store made me think of the time last year when we were traveling into WY from SD and we seen a stove in the middle of a field with the oven door open and the sign next to it said OPEN RANGE....hahahahahaha
That's for picking up after someone that threw their trash out. Like They say Don't mess with Texas.
Enjoyed this video. Like the idea of the map book, gives me an idea of where you will be going. Thanks Tom
Great video!. That one was fun. I felt like I was there. The Target store made me laugh. haha and that was quite a collection of snakes. It was great to see them there, not on a trail. lol Thanks for the video, Eric.
Man, that warm weather looks so nice. Thanks for bringing us along Eric.
Great video! I really enjoy watching your travels and all the cool finds! Safe travels!
OMG, we laughed so hard when you showed the target store.. .. only Google or the GPS could make this believable... LOL. The rattlesnakes were awesome. Thanks for sharing! Drive safe.
I can't believe you didn't boondock at the Marfa Mystery Lights Viewing Station. I was there 2 weeks ago, and did actually see the lights out in the desert! too bad you missed that!
And Big Bend National Park?????? You blew right by???
oy!
Really good & upbeat video Eric, I liked the music Mate.
Kind Regards & Safe Travels Mate, Steve.
I've only seen one rattle snake in my entire life (and I heard it before I saw it)! Nature and wildlife is so fascinating to me...thats a cool little spot 👍

Banded rock rattler looked dead to me. Actually most of them didn't look right.... Did you see any of then move, even a flick of the tongue?
You screwed up dude! When you were in Sanderson you should have went south to Big Bend State Park! Very disappointed for you! :-(
That is funny ! Not to someone needing some basic shopping , but still...Love the scenery I have never been to this part of our country, also thanks for sharing the historic markers. The snakes and reptiles I personally could drive right past. To me this is # 1 reason NOT to camp /sleep on the ground and to have some type of RV !

Excellant video Eric. I prefer to see snakes behind glass or diseased. Jp
That's a hoot!! So much for artificial intelligence! But it was a TARGET! That was a very cool snake place.
Woohoo close to Big Bend NP!!! If you have the time it's worth the detour...
Great vlog..Welcome back.
Great snake pictures, hope you found a place to get groceries..Couldn't ask for a better traveling buddy than Jax., Drive carefully and stay safe..
Keep having fun buddy, jax is your true hero and best friend, give him kisses for us, be safe,keep moving forward, life is a journey...barb and Joe in Tennessee..
Awesome from start to finish. Thank you.
interesting to see all those different types of rattlers... had no idea either there was one in the Pacific northwest...would have thought it too cold.
I'll assume that's not a petting zoo.
Went with intro 2, good choice.
Gotta love west Texas - not may stores, but a lot of nothing unless it bites, stings or pokes you.. Thanks for your awesome comments about the Pecos River Rest Area, We love it as well and only 30 min from home. Also I sent you an email a few days ago..
time past when you have fun....Eric ad Jax Again on the Road ....nice
for navigation, get the co-pilot rv and pay small fee and you can have offline navigation
cool target..someone should set up some display stands in the small building
Ah, you are finally getting to the part of the country where they grow all the rocks!
Nice to see you getting back to your old self. Thanks for that little bit of education on rattle snakes but can you see my dust............ :-)
Love the new Pecos River intro
The spot you built for Jax is great
Love the shot of you crossing the bridge that was cool. Had to be scary to leave your camera behind like that. If it was me I could not get back to it fast enough. Have a good day see you in the next vid.

I'm glad to see your happy without her. Keep on rolling.
velia garcia he needs someone like you in his life!
Double thumbs up. Loved the video. Thanks for all the work you do. I look forward to every video.
You've made some real nice videos on your trip to the East Coast, South, and now Southwest. Keep up the good work.
I hope you visit the old Ft Davis which is outside the town. It has been preserved and nice to see. There is a nice park too. Also there is a great scenic drive and McDonald Observatory. You are in an area where you can experience the old west.
Keep it real Eric, awesome geocaching with that small target building.
I was not aware there were different Rattle Snakes. The ONLY snake I like to see though is a dead snake.Thanks for sharing!
Hey, from Sept.22,2024..... That's so wow!

Good morning Eric and Jax, Safe travels!
Wow loved the music for the snakes !!! Great vids Eric.
Man,I didn't know there were so many different kinds of rattlers.
gotta love Jax! always there!!!!
LOL that Target!
Some of those roads in Texas are a bunch of miles of nothing followed by a "What the heck" moment! I traveled the road that follows the Red River. Some cool things to see along that road also!
another great video. glad to see you smiling. as always be safe and enjoy life. give Jax a scratch for me
I think this is the third time I'm watching your Yoda videos and I didn't realize the space cat t-shirt. Pretty cool!
Wow this video had SO much in it. Some of the prettiest country is where you are in this video. I liked the shot of you going across the river.

Always a good idea to have a good map with you. Can't always rely on electronic devices.
Marathon was an interesting place I visited many years ago. The one thing that sticks out was a diner right there by hwy 90 and 385. You walk in and immediately you feel like your back in the 1850s cowboy days. I ordered a soft drink and they made it right in front of me with soda water and syrup. Pretty cool at the time.
