I'm glad I found your channel. Your name is what caught my eye: "Secrets of Texas." What's in a name? Lots.

This is my. kind of place. Thank you for including us in your beautiful, historic adventure. Long may they protect this heritage.

Thank you sir, I can't wait to go farther south....I hope to visit before I die. Loved my time in Texas.

I've been to Palo Duro twice....a great place to visit

To clarify: The town of Velasco (the first capital of Texas) was roughly 100 miles east of Indianola, where present day Surfside Beach is located, in Brazoria County.

Home is Port Lavaca. Indianola is great stop to hang out!

Texas has a lot of springs and underwater caves. There's a big spring / cave system in San Marcos.

Project 2025

We’re the 1,800s hurricanes due to global warming?

God is not going to ask anyone about someone else's life. Every person's opinion about someone else is mute.

I grew up about 100 miles from there, never heard of it to my recollection. Great video, good background music.

Those rocks really make this place very special. Seeing the hiking route prompts me to caution everyone to watch where you step. Falling from one of those rocky bluffs could truly be catastrophic. Best to hike with a friend or two, and with a cell phone in case anyone has an accident. But definitely worth a visit! By the way... has anyone ever seen a snake in among those rocks? Don't snakes love cool spots like that?

Can you travel through it without a kayak?

Please note the correct pronunciation of the following: CA-Val-ry are men on horseback. CAL-va-ry is where Jesus died. Thank you for the video, which is really good.

I went north of Lake Amistad and was amazed at the beauty, cleanliness, and remoteness of the river. This is true because the river doesn’t flow through any human development and has few human visitors. Unfortunately this wonderful natural jewel is now being publicized. The more known it becomes the more likely developers will show up and ruin it, what with the population explosion in central Texas and the arrival of very wealthy people. So sad that we can’t share about a wonderful place then worry about it being “discovered.”

Nine minute video to wander around Waco? You must have gone around twice. 🤣 Kidding… we love it here.

There is an old zoo in the Town of Lampasas Texas that few know about. I know because LAMPASAS was where I was born and raised. Graduated in 1991 😂 !

I lived in Laredo for 20 years. I miss it. This is an informative and positive video. Thanks.

Very interesting and Beautiful place! I didn’t realize though that Texas considers puddles to be lakes.

Why they are not being converted to low cost retirement communities is puzzling.

The name doesn't do it justice. Why do they have to name it the Devil's river? Ugh. How about something more inviting like the Swaggering River, the Lonesome River, the Sweetwater River or the Lone Star River? Something this beautiful shouldn't be giving homage to the devil. Goodness gracious, mercy alive! The devil ain't PURE folks!😘

I paddled that river every year for a decade. It’s one of my most cherished places on earth. I still have all my maps and journals from all of those trips.

Thank you! Our neck of the woods. Couple of things. First, thanks for the 'Prada' insert just outside Valentine, TX. I've watched many a vehicle slam on their brakes when it comes into view. Second, sadly, Cornudas Cafe (aka May's Cafe) has closed down. I ate their every week for almost four years on my weekly trip from El Paso to Carlsbad. Absolutely great food, yet, all good things must come to an end.

Gotta love east Texas

they're son's of B's ?

So Jack Hayes massacred the native Americans? ..hummm

Knowing that history can/is tweaked a bit…… I wonder if some kind of dark magic was performed on those mounds??? Who REALLY knows?? Really cool area though and lived not very far from there for years 👍👍👍

😂

this place needs to be developed up to the water, looks risky to leave a car abandoned at the parking lot, come back its stripped

Refineries and local officials ruined the city. But it is a swamp

I proclaim protection and safety and longevity of life in Jesus name amen 🙏

Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. 🤍🤍🤍🌈🌈🤍🤍🤍. Thank you. Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal saviour??? I do. 🤍

Be sure to pack a case of deep woods off insect repellent.

I could imagine all that, it is written so it must be true. Good citizens are real, once upon a time. Make the world like your dream again.

Sheridan homey. Don’t forget Janaks

So sad what liberals have done to this city

I’ve seen a video on this place before sometime back. It wasn’t as long as yours, they didn’t cover as much you did.

Great video, thanks. I descended from the Thielepape family. Brothers George and Wilhelm arrived in Indianola. My great great great Grandfather George, a civl engineer and draftsman, settled in Austin and became one of it's most prominent citizens. Wilhelm, an architect, engineer, music composer and lithographer, went on to become Mayor of San Antonio. According to the diary of Prince Carl of Solm Braunfels, Thielepape traveled with him extensively when he first visited Texas.

My mom graduated from Paducah in the 50s, pretty much at the town's peak. In 1996, my grandmother passed away and my mom sold her house. It was a small house, but it was in good repair and had central heat & air and a carport on a double size corner lot. My mom got $6,000 for it.

If you can't pronounce "Appalachian" (Ap-uh-LATCH-un) correctly, don't use it...

Like most towns in Texas to this day, Indianola seems to be a masonic town at its roots.

Texas Propaganda. The State is Shit

Texas. The Armpit of America. Didnt we have to Save Them from the Mexicans??!! Yeah thats what I thought!

The book blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy describes this city as the “biggest town of sin in all of Texas, full of whores, plumb up, they say you can get clapped a days ride out when the winds right, and about any kind of meanness you can name!” And historical references made during the anti texas remonstrances against Texas annexation verify these claims, Texas is a haven for vagabonds, criminals, bigamists, hellbenders, fire eaters , and desperadoes in the entire North American continent, call the Texasses sons of America?! So are the sons of Botany Bay England , but who will place the transported convicts of new holland with our reputable and intelligent New England puritans?! And so will rank Texans who immigrated on necessity to escape justice and the gallows amongst our northern free and industrious citizens, sons of pilgrims and Washington?!

Used to know another spring in Bertville.. but now its all hunting ground.. family went there for years

Great video, thanks for sharing! I attended school in Harlingen and we played a few baseball games in Roma so know that stretch of 83 well! I always thought it was odd that yhe RGV was not considered south Texas, too. Not sure the origin, but geographically for purposes of research, South Texas is considered area soith of San Antonio through the brush country region and then roughly south of Laredo-Corpus line is Deep South Texas. Coming from the Willamette Valley of Oregon also thought it was odd it was considered a Valley, too. My HS history teacher claimed it was called a Valley because when they were trying to entice farmers way back when they often associated valleys with fertile soil. Supposedly when they would bring them down via rail they would go through the King Ranch region during the night so no one knew they actually weren't passing mountains. Marketing at its finest!
