Cody and Kellie, I wanted to mention that you two seem so much happier now that you are in the truck camper. You laugh more and seem to be having more fun. Not that you didn't seem happy before, just a lot more so now! You make me smile.
The need for a “reservation” to hike in a public-supported state park is so stupendously insane. MHO. I’ve never encountered that in any of the 33 states I’ve visited.
As a native Texan I can tell you that our state parks can get insanely busy and crowded at times. As such, park service tries to make it a more pleasurable experience for visitors by using a reservation system. Personally, I applaud them for this. And very much appreciate it!
I would say don't camp in Texas, it was awful last time I was there and that was a long time ago when I learned my lesson! At least the 90's- it sucked then.
Cody I grind my teeth too so bad my guards only last a couple months so instead of the expensive dentist guards I use the sports guards from Walmart and they actually last longer
Texas State Parks has a good phone app. It is very helpful. The reason they require a reservation is there are too many people. We sat in line once and barely eked in then wished we hadn't, wall to wall people, it was like a shopping mall. Spring Break, Easter, June, some popular parks reserve months in advance. Texas is also losing a State Park up by Dallas. The owners of the property are not re-leasing it to the state. The need for more Texas State Parks is great, many lakes are private, many wilderness areas are now developed. Safe travels.
When it comes to water I've never been somewhere that the water is salty. Until 2020 when I went to northeastern Montana and was like what the hell is this.
Colorado Bend is a gorgeous park. The long gravel road entering is a pain, especially when you have bikes in the open bed of your truck...that was fun. Trivia: When Elvis Presley was stationed in the Army, he would hang out in nearby Lampassas. Storms Drive in was a regular hang out. It's still there and if you crave a burger and shake, that's the place to go!
That water at that waterfall was so clear and beautiful 🤩 Plus y’all even look gorgeous when you wake up 😆 So fun hanging out with you both. God bless 🙏🥰
In California during Covid they shut down all the parks - city, county, state, beaches. At one point Yosemite was open and they got flooded with people. They didn’t have many people working, so no one was collecting the trash. People would just dump their trash beside the overflowing dumpsters! Then they started a reservation for just entering the park 😕.
QUESTION IF THE PEOPLE BROUGHT EVERYTHING IN THE PARK / BEFORE IT WAS TRASH 🗑 THAN THEY HAD THE SAME SPACE TO TAKE THEIR NOW TRASH 🗑 WITH THEM PUT IT IN 🤔 GARBAGE BAGS & TAKE IT BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM 🤔 MAKES SENSE TO ME ! MOST OF BEEN A LOT OF BRAIN 🧠 FARTING GOING ON / LAZY -SS PEOPLE / PACK IN PACK OUT THAT'S WHAT THEY DO WHEN THEY ARE HIKING , ETC OR OVERLANDING HOPEFULLY ! NO COMMON SENSE I SEE / HEAR ! JUST RUDE TO OTHERS THAT CARE ABOUT OUR PARKS / COUNTRY !
Hi guys, well I moved from Ocala Florida to Winter Gardens Florida today on an island. Its beautiful and if you come back this way hit me up. We are starting a hip camp. Would love to have y'all. 😊
This was a very funny vlog. I know you didn’t mean for it to be. But it was excellent at showing how things on the road can sometimes throw curve balls. I feel ya. Thanks guys.
As a native Texan I can tell you that our state parks can get insanely busy and crowded at times. As such, park service tries to make it a more pleasurable experience for visitors by using a reservation system. Personally, I applaud them for this. And very much appreciate it!
I think I was camping there the same day y'all went for a visit...because I was there during time change. When you mentioned the showers, I about died laughing...they do have a 'shower' but it is a faucet of freezing cold water right off the parking lot in the grass, no walls/doors nothing. I drove around same as y'all trying to find this mythical shower. Next time, definitely take the trail to spicewood springs, it's short, less rocky and fun! Also, you can swim in this springs. Also, the TX state park day pass is no joke, since covid the parks fill up super fast and they turn down people at lots of the parks, especially on weekends due to park full.
a reservation for a state park that sounds fishy may be to camp and day uses should be a small fee for parking more for a pass so they know how many people are there so they don't over fill but to hike park a reservation weird but i'm in MI. so yeah
Glad to see y’all’s back in our area good to see Jonathan back with you guys if only for the night. Longpool is great especially thru the week when not so many people
HI CODY & KELLIE 👋 THANK YOU 🙏 LOOKS LIKE A GORGEOUS AREA . SO NOW I KNOW THERE'S TWO COLORADO RIVERS IN DIFFERENT STATES . BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 GOD BLESS YOU BOTH ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏 I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO GO TO ANY PARKS / COUNTY , STATE , NATIONAL / LATELY WILL HAVE TO CALL , CHECK AHEAD BEFORE MAKING ANY PLANS TO GO . WE'RE GOING CAMPING THIS JUNE AT SAVAGE RIVER STATE FOREST FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS JUST TO HAVE SOME QUIET TIME EXCEPT FOR THE NATURAL SOUNDS AROUND US . IF WE'RE LUCKY OR NOT DO SOME FISHING TOO 🤔 THAT'S STILL QUIET TIME FOR ME !
Yes guys, you have to make a reservation for day use as well. So happy you guys were able to get in!!! I messed up and didn't reserve my camping spot early enough not realizing it was Spring Break, lol... No kids in school. Oh well, I got a couple of days reserved for this coming week thankfully. Love the videos guys! Thanks and take care!
I had mine remade several times. I also had my lower retainer made to be adjusted to move some teeth years ago. I worked as a dental assistant for 15 years.
i am in texas.. from texas.. i have NEVER needed a reservation to ENTER a park for a day. and i went to palo duro a week ago during spring break.. it was busy.. but it was for the day so no issue. idk what that lady is talking about.
About that “Day Pass” we can all thank Covid for that one! It doesn’t matter if you have a Park pass. We still have to reserve a day pass. Maybe it is to keep a closer count of how many people actually go there for a day. Love your channel!
I love watching videos of your adventures in Texas! As a native Texan I have spent virtually all of my adult life in and around the hill country. And I've explored all of the areas you are visiting in the state. Next time you're through Fredericksburg you need to seek out Altdorf's German Biergarten Restaurant. They have absolutely amazing German cuisine! It is our go-to eatery any time we're in the area.
In Texas have you ever been to South Padre Island Tx. Near Brownsville Tx. not to be confused with South Padre Island near Corpus Cristy Tx. miles of open beach water front parking admission is $14.00 once your in stay as many days as you want just boondocking and enjoying the beach breeze and sun rises, great fishing. if you make it down I'm in Edinburg, TX I have surf rods you can borrow, or wife and I will meet you down some time in the foreseeing future. We go down several times year during the summer. June-November is still good. July thru November is the red bull drum run the spawning along the gulf coast. I personally like October. Wife and I really enjoy your you tube videos keep them coming.
Cordy and Kelly with all the great food you make is it diet delight, weight watches, Jenny Craig just jokes around good luck with your travels happy camping
Hi guys - we have a Boondockers welcome site just SW of Austin called Casa Forston and would love for you guys to come out and stay. Austin is beautiful town and a very bike friendly/cross country biking trails a plenty. You guys look like your having some fun.
I'm the same about the time change. I wish they would just leave it with the Fall back time. I'm more productive, 😁 I love waterfalls. Have you ever been to Benson falls in TN? I would love to see more waterfalls. Nice video guys. Enjoy Texas.
You can use a chock block behind the wheels. Place the block, put truck in neutral and drift into blocks. Then put in park and apply parking break. I do this all the time.
I am headed to Colorado Bend for two nites in early April so my ears perked up when I heard where you are going. On a map I saw the shower is rinsing off only.
We visit Texas State Parks all over the Northeast area on a regular basis and have never had to reserve for day passes. Maybe it's just for some of the larger ones and not ALL Texas State Parks.
Happy to see Kelly with a hat ON this time!! Lather up you two! Cool hike! So weird you have to have a reservation just to explore the parks there! Thanks for sharing!
Always like watching your videos and travels. We travel in a van and use this water softener “ On The Go OTG4-DBLSOFT-Portable 16,000 Grain RV Water Softener”
She is wrong, you do not need a reservation to enter Texas state parks, I've been to three these past weeks (no reservation) no problem, if you plan on camping it helps sometimes, also if they become over capacitated they might turn you away, anywho just call ahead of time so you don't waste your time, God bless y'all.
Be careful when in tx state parks using the showers and not having a rv spot! Day use only does not include shower privileges! The ranger happily told me that when I was passing thru and I have the tx state parks pass so free entry for day use that I couldn’t use the showers🤷🏼
Your "adventures" this week sounds like something that would happen to mu husband and I on a trip. 😂 Glad it all worked out anyway and it was quite entertaining!
Great episode! Pasta Bella is a favorite of our son and his girlfriend but we missed out on going there {again} this spring break because they were closed on Sunday :\ If you get time one day, check out Pedernales Falls SP for some amazing hiking at the falls and Pecan Street Brewery in Johnson City for some brews and yummy food afterward. Also, Torr Na Lochs vineyard and winery for the most epic views and delicious wine in the hill country. Safe travels back to Arkansas!
Retired, moved to Tx. Bought the park pass, haven’t used it yet. Thanks for letting me know about reservations for day use. Traveler most of my life & never ran across that. If you camp you’re charged a daily entry fee too. Tx. Is beginning to suck & thinking of moving on. BTW FLORIDA IS worse!!
So the TX State Parks charge $10 advance res for day use? Do they offer an annual pass? UT St Pks also charge an entrance fee, but no res so far. Some of the most popular ones get crazy crowded like the desert reservoirs that offer water sports. UT has an annual admission pass that does save money. I will file this video in my memory in case I end up in TX during spring break. Crazy. Glad you got a nice dinner!
Glad yall got to go to Colorado Bend. Imo for pure hiking that's the best state park in the hill country. So many trails and variety to each of them. The Gorman Falls are the main attraction but there is so much more to see there. I wanted to add those reservations aren't as much as a hassle as it would seem. Alot of times I'll go on the website and make a reservation either the night before or even in the morning when im on my way
I would love to have a solution for The Thirst. I try to watch the salt in take as well. has a lot to do with it? your teeth grinding I have TMJ terrible arthritis. Love that there is regular people out there dealing with the same issues. Ty
Utah does the same thing. We needed a reservation to get into Arches. They wouldn’t let you in unless you were there at your time slot. It does help limit the amount of people in the park as parking is limited.
Actually Arches is the only park in UT(national, state, etc.) that has a timed entry res system. It's just a necessity. Trust me, you would hate to be sitting in an entry line for 2+ hours, drive into the park and not find any parking anywhere! Rocky Mtn. NP in CO also has timed entry res and has for several years.
I like that fall back much better, too😉. Do either of you ever see going back to a 9 to 5 type job? Very cool…I never think of Texas as somewhere you encounter waterfalls.
@@veeemit9719 same here, trying to escape from that! With our imminent move to the countryside. Trying to grow my channel and red bubble shop! Greetings! Feel free to check out :)
What app do you use for your meals? You knew you had apple oats or hummas toast available, was that an app?? I need to organize my meals and food supply better. Thanks! Love you guy!!!!
I have an Suv and a small travel trailer, but I'm liking the looks of your setup better. I get around 15 mpg on the hwy that was a big part of choosing for me, HOW much MPG do you guys get???
Our family has camped in our state parks many times. We always made reservations for the camping. But not once in my life have we been told we couldn't get in for just the day. I'm ashamed of my state. Going to be sending Governor Greg Abbott a letter on this. It makes me mad. I hope you had a great time but I'm now disgusted with my state.
Yeah, whenever covid happened the state parks in texas got so busy and crowded that they started doing reservation only for EVERYTHING, even hiking. Which is ridiculous, makes me sad that texas is getting so crowded now😢
YA... NOT A FAN OF TEXAS AT ALL... TOLL ROADS EVERYWHERE, DID YOU KNOW THE TAXES ON A HOME IN TEXAS IS 2.3%? THATS MAKES 300K HOME VALUE $5000 A YEAR, UTTERLY REDICULOUS, THATS LIKE CALIFORNIA OR WORSE. MY TAXES IN IDAHO ON MY 1/2 ACRE ARE $98 BUKS. NOW THEY WANT RESERVATIONS FOR A STATE PARK?? BOOKED FOR ALMOST THE REST OF THE YEAR? THEY CAN KEEP THAT STATE. I COULD SEE THE LOOK ON YUR FACES... I WAS SHOCKED. I LIVED IN CALI FOR 50+ YEARS AND NEVER WENT TO YOSEMITE... FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON... MONEY MONEY... TOO MANY TOURISTS. I KNOW IM RANTING, BUT THE POINT IM MAKING IS ITS JUST BECOME A SHAME THE WAY THINGS ARE NOW. I AVOID ALL THAT, GO WHERE ITS NOT REGULATED AND CONTROLLED LIKE THAT. I WENT TO YELLOWSTONE IN MAY OF 2022, AND IT WAS SO NICE AND LIGHT TRAFFIC, NO RESERVATIONS, EASY FREE DISPURSED CAMPING A FEW MILES AWAY... THAT KINDA STUFF IS WHAT IVE RESORTED TO. I FELT BAD FOR YA ALL..... AND I KNOW IT TURNED OUT O.K..... IM JUS SAYIN.

If y’all are going to spend any time in TX state parks, you should get a park pass. Day Use Passes are free & you get some discounts on camping.
We've visited/camped in 3 northeast Texas parks recently. No reservations needed for day visits.
I would say don't camp in Texas, it was awful last time I was there and that was a long time ago when I learned my lesson! At least the 90's- it sucked then.
@@cindyholt3808 things have changed for the better… drastically.

Day use reservations sucks. I wonder if it was something that stayed as a result of Covid? Or it could be some State Parks just got too crowded.
Texas state parks can potentially get overwhelmingly busy! That would make for a miserable experience for everyone! I applaud the reservation system.
Please say tootsie again. Lmao. Laughing at that accent
I'd much rather fall back 😢
You could always take a shower at a truck stop (if your desperate). Also you can get a gym membership and shower. Great video!

😆😂🤣😂😆 thought I was the only one with that kind of luck. 🍀🙏❤️
Let the man drive! 🚐🗺️
Our family has camped in our state parks many times. We always made reservations for the camping. But not once in my life have we been told we couldn't get in for just the day. I'm ashamed of my state. Going to be sending Governor Greg Abbott a letter on this. It makes me mad. I hope you had a great time but I'm now disgusted with my state.
👍👍👍👍👍😀
Yeah, whenever covid happened the state parks in texas got so busy and crowded that they started doing reservation only for EVERYTHING, even hiking. Which is ridiculous, makes me sad that texas is getting so crowded now😢
👍✌️
I was told that this is the end of time change...no more!
That would be great!!
YA... NOT A FAN OF TEXAS AT ALL... TOLL ROADS EVERYWHERE, DID YOU KNOW THE TAXES ON A HOME IN TEXAS IS 2.3%? THATS MAKES 300K HOME VALUE $5000 A YEAR, UTTERLY REDICULOUS, THATS LIKE CALIFORNIA OR WORSE. MY TAXES IN IDAHO ON MY 1/2 ACRE ARE $98 BUKS. NOW THEY WANT RESERVATIONS FOR A STATE PARK?? BOOKED FOR ALMOST THE REST OF THE YEAR? THEY CAN KEEP THAT STATE. I COULD SEE THE LOOK ON YUR FACES... I WAS SHOCKED. I LIVED IN CALI FOR 50+ YEARS AND NEVER WENT TO YOSEMITE... FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON... MONEY MONEY... TOO MANY TOURISTS. I KNOW IM RANTING, BUT THE POINT IM MAKING IS ITS JUST BECOME A SHAME THE WAY THINGS ARE NOW. I AVOID ALL THAT, GO WHERE ITS NOT REGULATED AND CONTROLLED LIKE THAT. I WENT TO YELLOWSTONE IN MAY OF 2022, AND IT WAS SO NICE AND LIGHT TRAFFIC, NO RESERVATIONS, EASY FREE DISPURSED CAMPING A FEW MILES AWAY... THAT KINDA STUFF IS WHAT IVE RESORTED TO. I FELT BAD FOR YA ALL..... AND I KNOW IT TURNED OUT O.K..... IM JUS SAYIN.
Guadalupe state park didn’t require a reservation when I went in February. Was it on a weekend? I think if you go on a weekday it’s ok.
