What a great park had no idea it was there! Gotta go to it now. Thank you for sharing 😎
Same here
Me too!
Central Texas never ceases to amaze me. So many wonderful gifts of nature tucked into the area. Thank you!
The Branch Davidian scene struck a nerve, I am sure with all watching.
I will move to TX by the end of 2023.
Thanks for sharing this precious place!
This is so nice a video thank you so much
In the late 70s & early 80s you could swim at Tonkawa Falls. I have great memories of summer picnics & jumping off of the falls. There are climbing holes on the side of the falls. To be strong enough to climb up was kind of a major accomplishment at least to our group that went. Insurance companies stopped writing policies for swimming during the 90s. Too bad. It was a lot of fun.
When it came into view, I had flashbacks of being there with friends, sliding down the falls. Always a great memory.
Didn't know that couldn't be done anymore. That's a shame.
It was so much fun! We climbed and jumped a hundred times, swam and slid, picnics and long sunny hikes, even in winter we went. It seems nothing ever improves.
Too bad. Screw insurance companies. Doctors now won’t do stents unless the blockage exceeds 50%. Why? Insurance and Medicaid won’t pay.
Ypu can still swim there at least I did last week there was a few cops watching but there was like 40 people out there just no coolers, I think it's a rv park now and maybe that's why you can swim idk it's right next to the football field and was free to enter.
Awesome! I’ll have to go back and see it.
Beautiful TX area. I bet the view from the tower is even better on a clear day. The NM fossils are amazing.
You took us to a spectrum of energies … and ended it w/a reminder to all of us.
Don’t trust ✨ thank you ✨
Please continue your travels. I like the places you show.
I agree, best time to go for a hike is right after a rain
Yours are the most interestingly informative travel videos on this channel. Primarily, you do not focus on s!ums, trashed out neighborhoods. Your voice is also very pleasant.
Beautiful state park never knew about!
I just swam here last week my friend jumped off the high cliff and went straight like a pencil, he hit the bottom and broke his ankle in 2 places lol it was a good time though beautiful place
Every since I went there over 60 years ago, I always thought there was something strange about Wako.
Wow. Very potent video--thanks. Some things speak for themselves.
YES VERY BEAUTIFUL!
Wow! I used to live there. The falls are really flowing. Tonkawa also has petroglyphs. Thx Secrets of Tx
Awesome video!
good job on the waco part it is a sad tragedy
I used to swim and cook out there all the time
It is beautiful but you pronounce it wrong, lol.
Many happy memories there from my teens, jumped off those cliffs many times. It's not as safe now as then, more water and other factors. But it's a great place to swim, picnic and spend time in.
May all those souls rest in peace...pure tragedy
9:00 All those babies lost... Rest in peace, they are the innocent.
Concerning the tradedy in Waco, My husband said this was a reminder of the government saying "Hey, we don't want you doing your own thing, we will destroy you." They brought tanks apparently and there was a stand off and I don't know who shot first, but whatever the case, these poor souls didn't deserve to be massacred, especially these babies that died. So so sad.
The “Waco” incident occurred about 12 miles outside of town near an unincorporated town of Elk. Waco does not deserve this label.
@@charleslangley6036 I didn't know that! That's crazy.
Not sure it's as simple as the governement saying, "we don't want you doing your own thing". It's been reported that Koresh was having sex with multiple minors regularly, claiming he was god, so it's ok. Not surprising, it happens often with religious cults (the leaders use their position to have sex with their followers). WIth that said, certainly a shame to they all died, especially the children.
Awesome! I've been waiting and hoping you'd post something next to Waco! This is perfect! Is it pretty soggy and wet down there this time of year?
No, some of this video was shot in early summer when it was raining a lot.
You worded that very well both sides messed up , the situation could have been different . GOD BLESS
one of the tonkawas favorite foods, was roasted comanche...
Were you able to see McLane Stadium on your trip?
No, but I do have video planned that focuses more on Waco itself
@@secretsoftexas6872 The Grand Lodge of Texas Memorial Temple is in Waco and seats 5,000. It has a museum and is staffed during regular business hours for visitors...
In places such as this, I worry about snakes.
Great video. Gotta visit. The punishment has to fit the crime. Clearly it did not. Children? Really?
Great place to picnic. Pronounce the name correctly please. There is also an old cemetery nearby.
I remember the time and place I saw the buildings burning. My professor had contacts 'on the ground' there and we received weekly updates as it escalated. Very sad and agree with you on it being "an abuse of power on both sides" as I've experienced the cult side first hand with a similar org.
I have no idea what you are talking about at 8:05. If a judge signs a warrant and I have nothing to hide why would I not allow a search to be conducted? My family's lives are more important than a inconvience of having my home searched.
