    I finally subscribed after watching several videos. I like your videos since I, too, have mobility issues. Keep the videos coming to keep us informed so we know where to go.

    There are stairs to the right of the look out at penitentiary hollow but they are very steep but it’s very cool down there.

    I love that you're revisiting some of the parks you've shown us in the past.
    Dude, thanks for everything you do, man. Your videos are my escape as I watch almost daily.
    Hope to cross paths with you out there one day. My wife and I have plans on purchasing a travel trailer in about a year
    and our journeys across Texas will commence! San Antonio here.

    The lantern hook is for hanging trash. My first stay at MW State Park I didn't hang the trash. I woke up to two of the biggest raccoons digging thru my trash and hauling off a small cooler. You need to go into town and eat a burger at Woody's. You won't be dissappointed!

    That's hard to believe that if you extended your trip to arrive a day early, it moved your whole trip forward. I'll have to make a note of that to check. Enjoyed the video dude!!

    • @DudeRV
      @DudeRV  Год назад

      Texas state park reservations are made through the ReserveAmerica.com platform, so I am pretty sure any campground reservation system that uses this platform will have the same setup.
      As always, thanks so much for your support, Fred.I sure wish Yall could make it next month!

    After watching your first video, I took a trip their (December, 2022). It is such a fabulous park. I stayed in a shelter site. It had a beautiful large for pit in the back. I’m not sure I can put pictures in comments, but I don’t think I’ve stayed in a more beautiful site with exception to Big Bend. I never found your infamous mountain lion.

    Thanks for sharing - LMW SP is definitely on my list - and will certainly take note of your campsite picks. BTW, I was stationed on the USS Kittyhawk (CV-63) for three years - 1975-1978. Also want to wish you a very happy 2023 New Years!

    Real close to us, But the water absolutely is horrible there. Make sure to fill up your own fresh water tank before going, or have one hell of a filtration system

    • @DudeRV
      @DudeRV  Год назад +1

      I have one hell of a filtration system. 20 micron pre-filter and then .01 solid carbon block and then a second onboard .20 micron. I hardly ever connect to the city water port anymore. We just run off of the onboard tank and fill every few days as needed. Thanks for watching!
