Seminole Canyon Texas: If Walls Could Talk
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ค. 2019
- After leaving Big Bend Texas in early March I headed East, closely following the Rio Grande and the border with Mexico. Just before Del Rio I discovered a charming little State Park called Seminole Canyon. Small in size but rich in both cultural and natural history, it was a great opportunity to catch the spring flowers and observe the ancient pictographs first hand.

WOW Slim, you owned TH-cam today with this amazing video of your stunning cinematography, inspiring narration and a cool “rock” bongo performance! Thank you🙏
Great video and music selection, that rock sounded amazing :-)
Don’t know what you did for a living, Slim, but if it wasn’t cinematography you missed your calling. 👍🏻
He checks items on my bucket list non-stop. That's what his full time job is.
Just a guess, but watching him do things I think he did fabrication of some sort. Metal fabrication? Fabricating stories of blow dried cats possibly? Whichever, fabricator is my guess.
Who actually is Slim Potatohead. And what he did for living. Anyone knows??
He is also a world famous rock drummer! 😁
Slim has a wonderful, soothing TH-cam channel. It is a diamond in the rough. I hope that more TH-cam viewers will find and support this fascinating channel. Indeed, watching Slim's videos is time well spent.
Slim Potatohead Rock the Rocks Tour. Tickets available on Ticketmaster. Thanks Slim for the Victoria Day fireworks from your Canadian viewers. I loved the Native American music. Perfect for this video and location. Once again you have outdone yourself with this amazing video. Top 10 on Utube. Cheers!!!
Native Americans use to use those Rocks to make Drums thats actually Old Native American Land that's why he plays this kind of music with the video Slim Potohead is Actually Part Native Him self im Cherokee Indian and Blackfoot
Panther Cave is a old cave on Indian Barrol Ground
excellent video, what I like about yours more so than others, is that you take us there, with both comments and photography.
Slim, your presentation reminded me of the groundbreaking narration and filming work Richard Proenneke did in his documenting his time in Alaska in the film called "Alone In The Wilderness." Has his work been an inspiration to you??
Cat vomiting while someone blow dries its tail ROFLOLOL!
I'm pretty sure that is exactly what the original artist was intending.
You had me busting Up on that one! I love these videos! Slim you are awesome!
Patti, even if that is the right explanation, I'm not going to try it on my cats. They vomit enough as it is. The sound of a cat's digestive system in reverse gear will bring someone out of a deep sleep every time!
Great balance of narration and quiet. That's what I enjoy about your videos.
Thanks for the tour of your tour Slim! You seem to have a knack for passing a gentle sentiment on to us viewers, and personally, I really appreciate your effort, especially in today’s world.
A very pleasant way to start another Monday. Even though it is a day off for me and most Canadians, getting out of the sack was well worth it!
Happy trails!
@@turkey4957 I work for a company that uses a lot of animals in its advertising, along with some overused, corny slogans. I use this avatar at work too, along with their corporate slogans. It bugs the management that drank the Kool-Aid, and bought the fakery hook line and sinker.
I am quite a rebel! Lol!
Your videos just get better & better!!
I never tire of watching lightening and listening to the power of God's great creation. Thanks again for sharing.
Texas has never looked as good as it does through your lens.
What a fabulous place . And you've got bigger balls than I have (sitting in the edge).
Perfect blend of creative commentary & cool music. Excellent , thank you.

Incredible captures on the lightning! I never get tired of your photography, whether it's video or stills.
Actually you're pretty good on them bongos👍👍👍
Thanks for the fantastic video, amazing photography! And beautiful background “rock” music 👍😀😂✅😂 you are making this Canuck jealous he can’t partake in the beauty you bring to us up here from our awesome neighbours to the south. Take care. Stay safe
Another great video.. Hollywood has nothing over you when it comes to a beautiful, well thought out presentation. This is another WOW production.
Thank you Slim PH for taking the time to set up your camera to photograph all the colorful flowers & vegetation.
Watching him play the rocks made my day! Love his life
You have your self a new subscriber!! Great videos
Awesome video! Although you did make me a little nervous on the cliff edges...thanks for sharing another adventure.
Thanks for flowers, you are the best !!!
Hi Slim You always Amaze Me Just Like Nature. .......Blessings to you ☺💖
You have the best videos. This one is a perfect example of how you guide us through your travels with concise explanations and visuals. Of course, always infused with clever humour. Enjoyed this video and thank you for sharing.
Beautiful
You are so talented...but, I do wish you wouldn't get so close to the edge.
Because of YOU, we are Aliner owners going on a year now and enjoying the heck out of it. Buck still says Aliner should give you a brand new one for all the free press. Thank you for all you do for all of us. Buck and Kathy
You rock, baby boy!! Nice rhythm! The scenery is magnificent! I live in Texas and now must go to see Seminole Canyon myself! Awesome job you did on this video, as always!!
I really enjoy visiting this part of Texas. There is a picnic area just west of Seminole canyon that overlooks the Pecos river that is a really pretty spot. You also have Langtry, to the west, with a pretty garden at the rest area. If you are heading east on 90 I would recommend a stop at Fort Clark Springs in Brackettville. It is neat to walk around an old fort from WWII era, and a bonus is the large spring fed pool you can swim in. This is similar to Balmorhea, but a bit smaller.
Looking forward to seeing more videos. Safe travels.
Cheers and have a great day and a half 🎉🎈😎
One of our favorite campgrounds in Texas. A truly fascinating area.
Slim, Thanks for the wonderful pictures and the story tour about the Seminole Canyon. This is one of your best videos in my opinion.
Thank you Slim for another exquisite video. It is awesome to experience the country through your lens. Many blessings for you on your travels.
A couple of years ago I came for the Aliner info and stayed for the travel. Superb video Slim.
Hello I was watching Bob Wells, in his video and they were somehow discussing the aliner trailer. Bob mention when it comes to a liners he mentioned your channel so a lot of people knows who you are and obviously you have the experience and knowledge when it comes to this type of camper. You do have a fascinating channel I set there and I'll watch the videos all the way through. You do them very well. Thank you
Great video. Beautiful location!
I live in England so watching these vids of your journey is amazing . We do not have this space ....I love your journey Slim 😊
WTH! I've never seen a video like this..wow..I've seen a few of your videos and liked them but this was spectacular
I really enjoy your videos. “A cat vomiting while someone’s blow drying it’s tail”. Spot on
You produce the best videos on You Tube. Your an excellent communicator, and you show a real sensitivity to your surroundings. Keep up the great work. Richard M.
Thanks for sharing and beautiful pictures of nature.
Thank you once again for the thoughtful video.
I just can't get over how simple and quick it is to fold that camper. Very cool.
and again, another great video (didn't like you sitting on the edge of the cliff though) stay safe
Love your videos and the rock drum was amazing !
You are a great videographer. Great content. Very interesting.
Another awesome video Slim! Thank you , keep up the great work.
I'll be doing a little researching of the ancient art on those walls, too, and also wonder what the Tribal Elders would translate their meanings :) Your plant life sequence was dream-like and I admire your talent as a stone drummer :D Thanks for sharing yet another beautifully photographed and edited episode, Mr. Slim. Continued safe journey and happy adventures
I love a good lightning storm
This is professional-quality stuff. Outstanding.
Pretty good drumming there Slim!
Awesome beauty.
Seminole Canyon is now on my to do list.
Your video quality rivals those pf National Geographic!! The clarity in the flower close-ups is amazing.
I always look forward to seeing what you post.
Thank you.
I love your videos Slim! So beautifully made and so interesting! Love your narrations as always! Congrats for your 58K subs, you earned them! I always enjoy the music you chose as well, the whole video is so relaxing to watch! I always look forward to your videos!
WOW what a great trip this was. So happy you did the video for us and of course for yourself. Thank you!
You are Thee Pro! Thanks for all the time & talent you put into these. Chuckles too! Puking cat, Fabreeze, etc.
You Aced another video Mr. Slim
Nice. I had no idea this place even existed in Texas. I'd love to visit it. Watching from Dallas!
Thanks Slim, another enlightening and beautiful video. Beautiful soundtrack too. I just realized my phone has stereo lol
One of your best! Thank you Slim.
Love thunderstorms! Such power from mother nature. The tour was very impressive as well. Thanks for the wonderful video Slim.
Beautiful photography and videography! I live in East Texas and had no idea that this place existed. I enjoy your postings and your travels. Thanks for sharing!
Mike Malone . There’s so much hidden in plain view in our own back yards.
A man of many talents! Thank you for the great videos you put out.
Native Texan here, 62 years. Had no idea about this place, looks wonderful! Hope to visit it soon.
Your opening to this video awesome, the whole video like a National Geographic, Are you a professional?
That Lightening storm was good. So many varieties of flowers. I'm with you it looked like a shrimp, and I wonder do they really know what everything was in that cave, I a skeptic on that. Beautifully done video.
There are some days when only a video from Slim can cheer you up. Today was one of those days...
Absolutely great video..
Onward, Onward is the watchword.
Much appreciate your excellent work and the chance to see the desert in bloom. The rock art is fascinating and allows us to see without the expense and time of travel. Thanks so much!
Love your channel , picture perfect!
Great video. Loved the "bongo" performance. You reminded me of Maynard G. Krebs, complete with chin beard!
Slim, this is one of your best works yet! Loved the video and content. Thanks
Very talented!
Cool. Cool.Cool. The landscape shots. The tour and interpretation. Oh and the STORM.
Beautiful area; beautiful photography. Thank you for sharing.
🙏🏻 Thank you. I love listening to your stories and the videography is beautiful. Safe travels my fellow Canadian. 😀
What a uniquely beautiful place. Thanks for sharing.
Think that’s my new favorite video of urs! Thank u sir for sharing! Looking forward to ur next adventure!
This was an Amazing video, great music, awesome scenery.
Beautiful flowers. Another great video. Thanks Slim
Very beautiful there!!so nice and peaceful. Very good video.!thank you!!❤🙏
You are a real pro! So well done. I'm saving this one, as I'll be travelling too, and I'm a documentary nut. Ha, you left me with more questions! 😀 Thanks so much!
Thank you for visiting Texas Slim. You're the best.
Didn't know Texas had stuff like this. You are not far from Caverns of Sonora that has world class calcite crystal formations.
I agree, Charles. Slim should hit the Caves of Sonora. Do you know if they have repaired the butterfly formation that an idiot broke? I know it will never be the same; it was such a beautiful formation.
Terrific video! This will certainly be on my short list of places to visit.
excellent and intricate detail with spectacular views are magnificent along bongo rocks are mesmerizing except for the annoying flute noise!! have a safe healthy and joyful journey ahead!!!
In my somewhat older age, I've developed a new appreciation for the beauty of spring-blooming wildflowers, of which you featured many that I have never seen before. Without you taking me there, I would never have guessed that such archaeological, natural, and cultural wonders could be found in Texas. This has inspired me to visit Seminole Canyon SP, Slim. Thank you for whetting my appetite for new and exciting adventures that, if I live to be a hundred, I could not possibly do justice for. But it'll sure be fun trying! I now find myself looking forward to Mondays when I am sure to be delighted by your next TH-cam post. Keep up the exceptional work, my friend, and Safe Travels.
Thanks Cletus. If you like flowers the spring desert is amazing! SP
Excellent job of showcasing the agent Native American paintings. 👊👍😎
I've been fascinated since a child by how Native Americans survived in the natural environment and how their spirit world eludes all of us. The ghostly figure has a deep spiritual meaning. If you are close to nature you will feel it and perhaps understand its meaning. Another great vlog really enjoyed it.
WOW!!!! That was amazing!!... Thanks Slim so much.. I really enjoyed that.... I love stuff like that.... Awesome Job!....
Slim. I was at Fort Davis State Park that week. I'm so glad you get to experience my favorite part of the world. West Texas is a magical land.
Thanks for another amazing ,informative video episode.
Another enticing video Slim, thankyou. Happy Victoria Day amigo!
So calming my feelings get when watching your video. Your voice and content soothes my inner demon. Thank you
The music riff was priceless. Helluva piece of film.
As always, excellent video quality.
Thank you so much Slim, for sharing some History that 90% will never get to see otherwise.
Slim you are a stress saver. Bless you, Thanks. Wow, I love that rain and thunder. You wondering in such beautiful lush of nature makes me know for sure there is a God. The author and finisher of all things created. These caves and rock formation are spectacular. Thanks again.
Awesome performance on the rocks!!, you are a man of many a talents.....Thanks for the great video.....I find myself looking forward to Monday mornings.....
As an Australian / American living in Texas for the past 15 years in this State, I have found through people like your good-self Slim, that there is so much of this place that I need to see.
Those hollow rocks you played drums on were truly interested. You learn something new everyday. Thanks to you.
More Almonds as a rule :P
The walls do talk, and I hear what they are saying today, if not what they had to say years ago;
I was here, we were here, our lives were here...Do not forget us. Feel our lives!!!
The storm, the Stones, the flower, nature...thank you.
You keep that stones recording...use software, mix it up, and use that as your video audio...at least it is original ;) The harmonies of nature.
The missus and I will be visiting...as we go mobile soon and the canyon is half a days drive for us.
This video has been a moment of peace in an otherwise stressful and chaotic last few months.
Thank you.
Awesome as always buddy 👍 take care 🙂
I tent camped at Seminole many years ago, such a beautiful place, albeit extremely windy
You make me laugh! My father loved "interpreting" these images as well. We would just sit, stare, and giggle like crazy with his interpretations. Keep at it … Just love your videos!
