      @@lyleSchmidt honestly bud I was watching reviews on some new toyo tires I just ordered for my truck and you popped up ha! Can I ask how you navigate? Do you download the map off the site then plug it into Google Earth or do you use an actual GPS like a Garmin?

    • @lyleSchmidt
      @lyleSchmidt  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @TGLASS24 yeah, I use Gaia GPS as my primary and OnX Offroad as a backup, both are apps and desktop software. I'll use Google earth just for street view referencing during planning.

    Excellent video yall. I'm a nomadic photographer based out of the Llano area. I know this route like the back of my hand and have captured the beautiful wildflowers, nature and landscape the area provides. I enjoyed watching this so much that I'm joining your overland adventures.

    Fried Prairie oysters are actually delicious. I even had cold fried Buffalo balls from a hotel and restaurant in Marblemount, WA when I went camping in the Cascade Mountains. My friend's wife drove the 25 miles down the mountain to town to meet her friend that came to camp with us and they ate before coming back up. She saved some because she knew i loved them but only had them one time in 1988 at a rodeo in nacogdoches.

    We just got back a few weeks ago from doing this trail. We camped across the river a bit from where y'all were at for a few days. It's our second time doing it and May is definitely a better time heat wise.

    Great video, I love the Llano, Mason and Fredericksburg area and have done part of the Hill Country Trail that I found at OnX. Was that big water crossing on the James River? Also it was cool to hear quotes from Lehman's book, I haven't read that one yet but just finished Captured by Steven Zesch who grew up in the Mason area and is a relative of Adolph Korn, who was also captured by Indians in that area. I look forward to more videos.

    Howdy, if you are in the Leakey area and looking for a spot i have one that you might enjoy. I grew up in the area and i would have to argue that lums bbq in junction is better than coopers. Ive seen this country from behind the wheel and seeing these drone shots gives it a great perspective. Great job editing.

    You've reminded me to get the Jeep back on the trail this fall when it cools off a bit.

    I just moved here from the Utah area. It's been a little hard to find places to camp out in Texas, with 95% privately owned land. I came from a state that had 80% BLM land. Let me know if you make it out to the Corsicana area.

    well
    couldn't overland in Texas
    would choose Idaho
    Upstate NY
    Minnesota
    Banff
    Whisper Mountain
    Wyoming
    Montana
    it might be less expensive
    as the price of fuel
    might be easier to take

      I'm going to say no for 90% of the year. If tge creeks and river are up but still cross able then yes. If you want to drive around in the riverbed dispersed camping spot south of Mason then yeah probably to be safe.
