    I went down there last summer. Did you get the chance to meet any of the people there? Rainwater and Vance Tomey are some Real cool dudes.

      That sounds like a fantastic trip! While I didn't personally meet Rainwater and Vance Tomey during my visit, I did have the opportunity to interact with some locals and experience the unique atmosphere of Terlingua. It's always great to connect with the people who make a place special. Rainwater and Vance Tomey seem like interesting individuals to know. I hope you had a memorable time in Terlingua, Texas, and perhaps you can share more about your experiences there! 🌵🏜️🤠

    Hey, just wanted to say I'm enjoying your content and this way of virtual exploring on TH-cam! Cheers from Poland and best of luck to you. Hope you visit Europe some day if you haven't already!
    PS don't forget about food reviews please!

      Hey, Pastel - thanks!
      We have been to Europe pretty intensively, and we have a few selected European countries on our playlist for you to check out. We visited Poland as well, but unfortunately this was prior to our TH-cam years, so we didn't vlog then.
      We will be back next time! 😃 🇵🇱
