@@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI we found a tiny house to rent using Air B&b at 2389 and James river road. He has 3 for rent for $85 bucks a night. Actually witnessed the star link one night. Freaked me the F out!
Another cool video aperciate the effort you put into each post there’s something about each one I find very relaxing keep up the great work safe travels.
I like the way you travel. That’s one of my favorite places in Texas. The other two are the Pecos River and the Rio Grande at Santa Elena Canyon. The West Texas Triad. Great Vid.
Those are bump gates, you bump them at the right speed and they open and close automatically. No joke! But they can swing back and hit the vehicle if you don’t go through quick enough
Thanks! Kayak is probably the number one way people experience the Devil’s River. But it takes careful planning and preparation as the area is extremely remote. And there’s cerrain drop in and pick up points. The way the water was the day I visited, you could have just stayed in that area but I guess it all depends on the flow rate of the river. And the old fashioned by knob creek was great! Tastes almost like the real thing and much more portable than bringing all the ingredients separate. Highly recommend!
Thanks for sharing your Adventure, man your Jeep took that rocky trail like a champ. nice dinner looked amazing. What kind of drink was that you drank?
Thanks! I’m sure my outdoor cooking skills pale in comparison to the master himself. But, I try. lol! The drink is a pre-made Old Fashioned by Knob Creek. They make several, including a margarita one that is excellent!
The ones that I saw by the river the second day (ones who were picking up trash) were much friendlier and helpful. I never did go to the headquarters that morning.
That kind of comment would’ve irritated me as well haha. Maybe the park ranger assumed you were coming to kayak? I only say that because of all the regulations and requirements they have! I’m going this weekend for the first time and just going to camp and swim with my dogs. Most of the videos on Devils river are paddling focused, so your video is giving me a good idea of what to expect!
@@emilyf19Yeah. I’ve experienced this type of behavior from various park rangers, both state and national. To their credit, it is their job to know everyone’s whereabouts, probably for the safety of everyone at the park. I just didn’t want to have to get up the next morning and go back to the visitor center, just to get a tutorial about the place. 😂 Hopefully the water is a little more cleared up and has some flow to it when you go. I totally wanted to take a dip but it didn’t look very inviting with it being all stagnant. Then the rain storm had me worrying about the potential for a flash flood. Have fun out there!
@@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI Oh I totally have as well and agree haha I would absolutely not be going back to the ranger station the next morning for that!
Those are called "Bump gates" since that is what the ranchers do to open them; push them open with their trucks. They are angled to be self closing. The #1 rule of off-roading is to leave gates as you find them, I see at 8:58 in your video you encountered a gate that was held open. You should have left it as you found it since you had no idea who propped it open. Could've been a rancher leaving it open for cattle to move from one field to another.
That particular gate at 8:58 I had actually already opened off camera, so that I could pass through. I was finding it very tedious to film every single gate opening and closing, so I just filmed it as I went through it that time. I must have opened and closed over 15 of those “bump gates”. Very cool information! I can see why the ranchers use that style of gate. Most of them had a way to prop them open but some did not and left me scratching my head as to how I was going to get through. Very cool part of Texas! This is “Texas’ Texas!”
Just for future reference, those bump gates either have private property signs or purple marked fencing near them indicating private property. Yes you were trespassing. And this video is enough to land you a ticket for it. Yes a purple mark at the top of a fence post or on a tree indicates private property, do not trespass here in Texas.
I appreciate the comment. It was my understanding that these were all county roads with the land adjacent to them being private. I never once saw any signs saying to "Keep Out". I did see Private property signs but they were always to the side of the gates and there were even some signs that said to keep the gates closed due to cattle. Obviously written for those who would be passing through.
@@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAIto do an overlanding trip, I don’t know of anywhere in N. Texas. I don’t do offroad parks, so mine is only used as my hunting rig, which sees very basic offroad trails.
@@brianschor3832 Yeah it’s tough to do an overlanding type trip in Texas. Although, there is some pretty nice trails in the Ozarks, in nearby Arkansas.
I did put captions at Junction and Rocksprings. And I also put screen shots of maps from OnX Off-road to the route I was taking. The routes are called “Texas Traverse Leg 4” and “Dolan Creek Rd to Devil’s River SNA”. And I also showed a couple of the park maps of where I was currently at in the video. Is there something more specific that you wanted to know?

Great video 👍 such a sweet set up 👌🍻
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Good video!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
We started south of Mason at the lano river but only made it halfway before turning back to our camp site. Great video!
Nice! And thank you! I’ll have to drive that stretch south of Mason at some point. Where did y’all camp?

@@brandonmorrison-q3b Not a bad deal! I’ll have to keep that one in mind. Yeah seeing the satellites can give an eerie feeling sometimes.

Thank you! That means a lot!
Great video.. looking forward for the next one.

I love the BBQ in Juntion.
I've had Cooper's in Junction before. It's pretty good!

Thank you! Some great places here in Texas!

Yeah that’s definitely good to know! Very cool idea!
Great video, I've been thinking of going there also. Would you suggest taking a kayak? Also how was that knob creek old fashioned? Worth the buy?

@TheNotSoOrdinaryCarGuy good to know, thanks! And thanks also for the recommendation of the drink, it's my adult beverage drink of choice!
Next time you need to come to Llano and I'd like to show you a few good places brother, safe travels
Sounds good!👍 Thanks for watching!

What did those park rangers have to say the next day?
Were they pricks?

Pretty cool looking trip! I wish I lived closer to the S. Texas hill country. N. Texas is just….eh.
Thanks! It was a lot of fun. Are there any places you like going to in N Texas?

You should buy some chocks
I do have some. They’re not very tall though. The trailer does have hand brakes but having a back up way up keep it stationary is a great idea.
Hi Do you interested in adding some LED upgrade to your SXS? We hope to do some sponsorship with you!
Hi! Please reach out to me at my email address: pkess3@hotmail.com. Thank you!
@@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI Hi! We did send the email! Looking forward to hear you. Just curious if you are interested in this sponsorship:)?
@Auxbeam Hi! I never received any email from you. Yes, I would be interested.
@@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI It probably went to your junk files:)
@@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI Hi I wonder if you see the email from auxbeam?
closest thing they have in Tx to public land is a state park
Yeah mostly. There is Big Bend National Park. And Sam Houston National Forest. But other than that, not much else for large scale public land.
Do you have an Instagram page ?

what dates did you travel these areas?
Aug 30 - Sep 1, 2024
and no, I dont mean cc
put captions in your video so that we know where you are at
I did put captions at Junction and Rocksprings. And I also put screen shots of maps from OnX Off-road to the route I was taking. The routes are called “Texas Traverse Leg 4” and “Dolan Creek Rd to Devil’s River SNA”. And I also showed a couple of the park maps of where I was currently at in the video.
