    Went for the best Mexican food of my salty little existence at House of Tamales in Austin, TX. Then drove south for a dip in Jacob's Well, and lastly got ourselves a wicked little campsite for fire pit BBQ chicken and smores. It's a good day.

    Man... I can't even imagine how long it takes to edit all of this. When not driving on camera you have to be just hovered over the laptop! But! I greatly appreciate it! Show cases what goes on, on a deeper level. Sure, a video of a campfire is easy. A time lapse of it with a voice over transition into food that made my stomach growl this morning.... Well, that's another! Keep em coming!

      Sometimes I do have to pry Simon away from the computer, but usually he edits in the morning before I get up for an hour and then we start our day :)

    as a kid, the family would picnic deep in the local woods beside a chillingly cold creek...we'd put the perishable items in large pickle jars - pickled eggs in one jar and the potato salad in the other; then setup the campfire area; go for a long walk in those mystical woods...our return back to the camp site would be rewarded with hotdogs on sticks over the fire; pickled eggs and potato salad and my mother's deep dish brownies for dessert...wonderful times...

    You need to head to San Antonio to the river walk. There is also some great caves right outside of town.

    WOW... what a cool spot! How deep is that swimming hole?? I will say, after binge watching for the last week, I am caught up on your series.... now get busy and upload some more episodes! LOL ;)

    • @findingsimon
      @findingsimon  8 років тому +1

      Hahahaha Simon is sitting in the A/C editing as we speak!! Thanks for watching :)
      Oh, and the opening goes down for 30 feet but it continues down at an angle for 120 more feet. It's considered the most dangerous swimming spot in Texas because you can't tell how deep it is so many people go snorkelling or diving and then they can't get back up in time. We didn't swim down very deep but it was still super cool!

    • @Greighday
      @Greighday 8 років тому

      That's awesome... thanks for the info! I went swimming in a very deep natural swimming hole under a waterfall near Cookville TN., It was unforgettable for sure!

    What do you do when an area doesn't allow dogs? I usually skip no dog places but I feel like I'm missing out on so much.

      It was really hard to see. it sort of just looks like a metal plate. But yes, we accidentally left out the shot of it! Sorry. Here's a wiki page on it though. You can see what I mean about how hard it is to see:
