- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- Texas is a massive state and it is hard to do it justice in one road trip. My dad and I spent 14 days exploring the state and made a full road trip video you can see below. If you want to experience Texas, we made this video to provide some suggestions on how to best make the most of your time in the Lone Star state. Be sure to let us know what we left off in the comments!

Advice from a native Texan: plan your visit between October and March, especially if you're headed into central and south Texas. "Winter" is mild, and you won't be miserable from the heat and humidity.
As for BBQ, its good pretty much everywhere. My favorite spot is Lockhart, TX, a little town a short trip south from Austin. You skip all the traffic and wait times of the cities.
Fredericksburg to the west of Austin has some amazing German bakeries, and the drive out there is laid back and beautiful. If you're visiting Enchanted Rock, you'll be headed out this direction anyway.
wow how original. Your favorite spot is Lockhart. Like WoOoOoOoOow
@@badabing8152 you must be an absolute scream at cocktail parties
I actually lived in TX for 20 yrs and thought I knew where to visit but you 2 came up with some amazing stops. Guess I’ll have to go back again as it was a favorite state to live/visit. Your dad is really coming into his own with the great humor he is adding to these travels. Keep up the good work guys!
You 2 guys are TRUE experts on travel videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us!
Very kind of you to say; thanks for watching!
Omg! Bucces's is unreal, just the jerkey bar is nuts, then you have the bbq!! It's never slow. Glad you found this place!!
South Texas Starter Pack: Gristmill Restaurant in Gruene. Ray Harmon's BBQ in Cibolo. Hays City Store & Ice House & Trattoria Lisina in Driftwood. Clear Springs Restaurant in New Braunfels. Chris Madrids burgers and dessert at Paciugo Gelato Cafe in San Antonio. Most of those have outdoor seating.
I really enjoy watching videos of you and your dad. We need more vids of you guys doing trips . You guys are so down to earth. Thanks for all the info on your trips .
@TheWakatela Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
So cool! I am taking a road trip from New Orleans to Texas in a couple weeks (to San Antonio.) This is really helpful!
whenever i am watching u people ,i start imagining that when me and my son will be there free from worlds worries and live the life the way you do .i think you are the luckiest person i ve ever seen .
God bless you and save you from evil eyes of jealousy .
love for you both from bottom of my heart .i m not a viewer of your video ,i am more than a well wisher of you like grandfather .although i am not older than your father but elder than U .😊
@TheAsif5182 You are so right! Josh and I tell each other that all the time. We are incredibly lucky and blessed in what we are able to do together.
Buc-EE's is a classic for mid road trip stops for me LOL
I was in Texas with a buddy two weeks ago. He forced me to drive the pickup truck to Buc-EE's. Worth it! I'm definitely visiting that cowboy area next time I'm in the DFW area.
Im heading to San Antonio soon . So glad you all released this video. You guys inspired me to pick it as my next state.
Hey you all, I think you all should do a FULL tour of Florida, not just Miami and Key West, Heck start off in Key West and End in Pensacola. I think it would be fun to watch, anyways thanks for allowing me to have a vacation i could never afford love you guys
Dont come into a video talking about Texas, and saying you all... It's y'all😂😂😅 just saying
Your relationship with your dad is beautiful!!! Love your videos!!!
I love these tip videos with your dad! 🫶🏽
@kassandrarendon723 Thanks! We definitely have a good time.
Texas is known to have the biggest state fair.
LadyBird is the name of Hank Hill's dog from 'King Of the Hill' cartoon!
When we lived there, Dandy Don Meredith, the former Cowboys quarterback, did ads for a Texas insurance company, advising the locals to buy the insurance from them, as an East Coast insurance company would not understand that a Sunday drive could be a 500-mile journey in Texas. Great tips and video as always guys!
Thanks for sharing!
What a super list of tips. This is so helpful, Josh and Pops.👏🏻👏🏻🤠🤠
Great video!
Very well done!
Awesome tips for sure! I've been a Texan since 1996....and I still haven't seen the entire state. Been to most areas by now though. I've learned of a few BBQ places via Josh and Pop's adventures. Looking forward to trying Goldee's and Cattleack BBQ sometime soon! Oh my top BBQ mention, is not on the list here for some reason....interesting. But if you're in the North Dallas area, check out Hutchins BBQ in Frisco and McKinney!! Gotta try a Texas Twinkie and don't forget the awesome sides!! Love me some Mac and Cheese and Potato Casserole.
Thanks for the tips! Ill be headed there in April!
How exciting! Thanks.
Awesome channel! You do a great job on every episode! Sharing that quality time with pops is beautiful.
Thank you for highlighting my city of Dallas and the great state of Texas!
Always so well done Josh and Pops! Really good tips. Been in ATX since 2013 but never visited The Stockyards so will use your tips
Very interesting. There are so many things I never heard about Texas and your review was so helpful in opening my eyes to them. Thank you Josh and Dad.
Hopefully more Texas vlogs up coming looking for additional ideas. Heading to Texas early April for the Eclipse, Waco maybe a week in the area. Also stops at Bourbon Street,La then onto Nashville,Tn then meander back to Ct. Thanks for all your content Loved the Leavenworth,Wa. Vlog definitely want to return there! We were close last year in the Crater Lake area just not enough time maybe next year July24! Happy Travels All The Best & Happy Holidays! Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed. PS would be Remiss if I didn’t acknowledge The Star “Pop’s”!!
@chhook949 Hahaha! Thanks for the vote of confidence!
Hi there , I like your videos so much since you give my wife and me a good virtual tour of all the states and Infact you gave us a good idea of what to do when visiting the USA. I wish your family a great Christmas and New Year
Hi Pops! 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥
Great video as usual guys!
@twochickens3954 What's up!! Thanks for watching.
You rule Pops !!
@JoeinSeattle Thanks for the shout out!!!!
Nice ..!! ❤
Nice job guys, but a few other places to look at. Include a trip to far South Texas (the Valley) to see the places around Brownsville (you might catch a SpaceX launch at Boca Chica), check out one of the great birding hot spots on the Texas coast from Brownsville to Sea Rim. Or you can see huge flocks of Sandhill crans in the panhandle near Muleshoe.
I've been to several different areas in TX, over a 37 year timeline and I've never seen a Buckee's! All year I've been hearing about this place. Got to find one next time I'm in the state. I loved Palo Duro Canyon and Big Bend is top of my list.
They are mostly along the Interstates.
I am sorry to say I have not had the opportunity to watch your videos in about 6 months due to LIFE. I am catching up on the content. I am a subscriber still. I love the content. Way to go guys.
@gabrielvargas2553 God bless, Gabriel and I hope you are on the other side of whatever life challenges you were facing.
Great tips. Thank you Josh, and Pops. My son is going to go to Texas soon. And he’s like Pops, he like to know the history of the places he visits. I’ll send him this video, so he can get some ideas on where to go. 🙌🏽
@violetbf3773 Hello Violet! Always nice to see your name! I think Josh actually wants me to expand some of the history in the videos. Not a huge amount but just a few more observations on each trip. Fun to think your son might enjoy some of the history too.
@@popshiking that would be awesome, Pops! 🙌🏽

I need to know where I can go during December/January. Btw I am a native Texan so I need something outside of TX
Florida!

Texas! I wasn’t born here but as soon as I got here I knew I was home! I turned down some good jobs to stay in Texas. Don’t want to live anywhere else and already know where I will be buried. I have been all over the US of A and many parts of the world. There is no better place than Texas! God Blessed Texas! By the way, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin ain’t Texas anymore! If you want to see the real Texas stay out of the big cities. Unfortunately even San Antonio has fallen from Grace and become too cosmopolitan! Get off the interstates and on to the State Roads and Farm to Market Roads. Stop and visit with real people, real Texans along the way! They will treat you like kin and talk your ear off! Like I said, God Blessed Texas by putting a little heaven on earth and He called it TEXAS!
At the 4:04 mark - where is this??
Pedernales Falls State Park in Blanco County Texas
How many states have you all visited! What are your top 5 states for photography?
One tip for a great trip….go somewhere else
Buccee's? Seriously? That's what passes for culture in Texas? It's very, very low brow. A truck stop on steroids. And their barbecue? Meh. Heavy, loaded with fat and smoke and unhealthy sides. Look, I like Texans. My wife was born and raised there. But the cowboy culture? And the often horrible weather? Not for me.
