- NEXT STOP... TEXAS HILL COUNTRY!
(EPISODE 276)
ℹ️ About this episode:
On this episode of LivinRvision, we are on our way to the Texas Hill Country. Before we adventure out to see as much of this beautiful hill country as we can, Pie Girl has two pie shops that she wants to make a quick stop at to see how good they are. They were both recommended by you, our viewers!
We also received an offer to stay at one of our viewers RV sites at a new resort called, Firefly Luxury RV Resort in Fredericksburg, Texas. If you are interested in staying at this exact same site, use this link here ( resnexus.com/r... ). This link will take you directly to their (James & Kimberly) RV site (Lot 90). We would like to help them out as much as possible to show our appreciation for hosting us at this gorgeous resort that is in a perfect location!
We have two days to explore the area and we found that two days is not near enough time to see and do everything this area has to offer. But that’s okay because it gives us a reason to come back again and explore more of the Texas hill country. In this video we explore Proud Pie in Katy, TX, Texas Pie Company in Kyle, TX, Fredericksburg, TX, The Enchanted Rock, The National Museum of the Pacific War, Luckenbach, TX, multiple wineries and Das Peach Haus where you can also rent an Airstream as an Airbnb!

Brian I swear they could use you in Hollywood. Your facial expressions 😂CRACK ME UP. They are on point every time. Great video as usual. I enjoy your videos all the time. I really want some coconut cream pie and that cherry pie would have been my favorite too. ❤❤
Been in Houston for decades and didn't know about either of these pie heavens! Time for a van trip!
Hill country is one of my favorite places to visit... Enchanted Rock, Fredericksburg, great German food and just the whole area! Be seeing you!
Love your inserted clips. They fit so well. Those tiny home communities are popping up everywhere. Great video!
Thank you for visiting Firefly! We own site 61 and love it! Can’t wait follow your adventures.
Thanks for the review of Firefly. We've been thinking of going there to stay in one of the tiny homes. See ya in two weeks.
"Maybe that's why they call it that." LOL. I'll say it again, thanks for making me laugh.
You’re welcome! 😉 😂
We love the museum. We actually spent an entire day there as Jim likes to read everything. Missed you this year at the RV show. Lady with the white hat.
Neat share.
Have you two ever visited New Braunfels, Texas. Another neat little town in Texas. It’s about a half hour away from both Austin and San Antonio. It has German heritage and many of the buildings have beautiful murals painted in them depicting the history and forefathers and mothers of the town.
Thanks for sharing. 🧡 We wanted to go there this time but didn’t have the time to go there also. One of our viewers and friend (@craftyclarke2514) had told us about it before also. We hope to get there next time. 👍🏻😊🤓
We visited the Hill Country in Texas in 2019 and enjoyed it very much. We headed south on local roads when we left Fredericksburg and my goodness, we saw a pasture with camels! Love rving, one never knows what’s around the next corner!
Next time you are in the Texas Hill Country go to Marble Falls. There is the Bluebonnet Cafe that has a Pie Happy Hour. You would be in pie eating heaven.
Oh yes. We live in San Antonio so we often camp and walk in Fredericksburg. Love it.
Oh how I love Texas hill country. We have gone every year for the last 6 years in the month of April for the bluebonnets in full bloom. If you ever get the chance to do that it’s incredible.
A few years ago when we had the Airstream, we traveled through and saw all the bluebonnets! Such beauty!!
Ah…. My old stomping grounds! Lived in Boerne not far from Fredericksburg. Next time climb Enchanted Rock and go to see the bats when it’s their season! Incredible and so much information. Right behind the Bat Tunnel is Alamo Springs restaurant…. Best burgers and onion rings ever! May even have pie!!
Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas, With Waylon and Willie and the boys. I sang that for Missy right before you did.. She looked at me like I was stupid, not the first time.. LOL. Looks like a cool town and an awesome campground.
I was glad to see y'all here in Texas. You did a great job of highlighting a few good places but y'all know how big Texas is, so come on back. Your welcome.
Love that bourbon Pecan pie! That Firefly resort looks awesome! Safe travels! ❤❤
My husband and I were in Austin last yr visiting my son and went to Fredericksburg and a few wineries and loved it! ❤❤
That's a beautiful and contemplative museum.
We spent a month there visiting state parks and loved it.
One of your best tour videos. Really covered Fredericksburg well!
Hugo Lake Virgil Point its a us army of engineers its gorgeous $22/nite water and electric
Oh I thought that Michigan Cherry 🍒 Crumble looked awesome! I was
Like oh that’s what I would get lol and then you got it! So what the helk is a luxury shower and bathroom suite? I liked that resort looked so nice! Brian, your narrator skills are off the scale..so good! WOW and who knew about all the wineries? Great Video, definitely makes me want to go visit. ❤
We really loved this area and we definitely didn’t even see the winery. We will go back. Safe travels
Nearly the entire Hwy 290 is full of hundreds of wineries!
If you ever come to Twin Falls, Idaho, stop in at Idaho Joe’s and try the boysenberry crunch pie! The best ever!
😋 Sounds delicious! Thanks!🤓
It very much was designed to be a true Resort, not your budget camping. They are adding Pickleball, indoor clubhouse, heated pool, etc. They also have great local artists playing live every Fri/Sat night (Bands are Top notch)along with food trucks. Their cancellation policy reflects that of many other RV nicer campgrounds in popular areas we’ve visited in that you can cancel, but are issued a “Credit” to use at a later date, when you reschedule.
Thanks again for staying Brian & Michelle!
Love the video, beautiful and the pie looks amazing ❤safe travels.
Another great video you guys👍 The way you put it together and present it makes it so interesting. Those pies look so delicious too😋
Excellent video this week! We have added this area to our travel book! Glad you guys were able to spend time exploring a bit but as Brian stated you only had a couple of days. Enjoy the ride to Arizona. Have you ever been to White Sands NP? We loved it in our LTV.
Not been there yet but to go someday.
Excellent video. The Museum of the Pacific War is truly inspirational - a Must See for anyone in visiting in the area.
You are probably already past this point, but the Aguirre Spring Campground in NM has spectacular views. One night of dry camping is still worth it! It is near White Sands, and Las Cruces, on your way to AZ. You will really love all the camping options in Arizona!
Glad you got to spend some time in our neck of the woods! When you were at the Texas Pie Company you were about 10 miles from our house! And Billy's company built the part of the Nimitz museum that you visited! Awesome video guys!
Oh wow! Were you home too?
Glad you enjoyed, thank you! 🧡😊🤓
There are so many yummy pies and beautiful Texas skies. Thanks!
TEXAS Native and I have been all over Arkansas and Colorado; but I have never been to the Hill Country. Your video makes me deeply ashamed!! Thank you for showing me what I have missed. Too old to see it now... As always I wish you love and Safe Travels!
Great work guys!
I never knew about Luckenbach TX
Just don’t visit Fredericksburg on a Tuesday. Just about everything is closed. At least the museums and restaurants. We were just the a few weeks ago…
You both are my favorite channel on CZcams. Each travel brings new ideas for me to travel to. Thank you both for sharing your travels life.
Loved this week show. We were in the hill country 2022 and stayed near potters creek. Love Texas
You knocked another out of the park as you always do. Great editing, nice travelogue.
Oh my goodness… I totally lost it with the jack nicholson clip 😂🤣😂 I was thinking the same thing 😂. The museum looked really nice, I think I would like that. The hike up the rock looked pretty steep 🥵 Michelle the next time you eat pie, you’ve gotta have your pie shirt on!! 😂. Take care! Safe travels 😁
😂
This is the place I was wanting to have you go to. Arkansas Bend Park in Lago Vista Texas is beautiful its $30/nite but its worth it and you would enjoy staying a couple nites. The sites are perfect and Lago Vista is a nice town.
Y'all did an excellent job filming and editing this video. Congratulations. Well done.
I might be biased but Texas is awesome! The Pacific War museum is hands down one of the most awesome museums in the world and I’ve been to a bunch of them. I’d hazard to say it’s better than the WWII museum in NOLA although I did not get to visit that one until after Katrina.
We really enjoy your travels. We’re Northeners who’ve spent seven years in the Hill Country. Be sure to try the brisket!
And by the way when in Texas pecans are pronounced “Paa Cons”. Happy Trails Yo’all!
Oof! You two packed in quite a bit~ Thanks for all the info ;)
I always enjoy watching your videos. I also have started trying different pies and am loving pie now! 😉
If you are around Marble Falls, TX, be sure to have pie at Bluebonnet Cafe!
👍🏻 Thanks! We’ve added that to our list for another time!
Thanks!
welcome my friends! ❤
Oopps i am in Oklahoma sorry Virgil Point is in Oklahoma
😂 that’s ok, still good to know. 👍🏻😊🤓
Great area guys, we love to visit wineries. Just checked and there 6 Harvest Host wineries in the area. Wow you could spend the week there. Yep we dropped a pin on the area. Pearl and I have now switched to a Class A and love it. So this will be something we can do someday
My girl is BACK.
🧡🤓
Thanks ! good one..
Was just in Luckenbach three days ago. Tried to drive down to Firefly off the cuff since we were close but it’s gated and no one was at the shack, oh well. Fredericksburg is our favorite Hill Country town so far. Still visiting around and each has their charms.
That’s my old stopping grounds, growing up in Austin, we spend most weekends in the different lakes in the hill country. Enjoy the trip. Spring time is much prettier but anytime is great!
We went with family to enchanted rock years ago (16) you could drive right in. A few years later me and husband went back and there was the longest line waiting to get in, we left and came back early the next day. We had heard that you had to have a reservation to get in now, you just proved it to us! Hope you enjoyed your Texas visit, if you ever come back thru I-10 at the Orange state line, come stay for free at our house, we have a plug in spot ready. (we use it for our Rv when we’re prepping for a trip) 😊
🧡😊🤓
We just love that area. Our first trip was during the big freeze 3 years ago and we did not do anything. Went back two years ago and did several of the things you did. On our way to Big Bend/Terlingua now looking for warmer weather.
Very informative video, beautiful cinematography. Very much enjoyed the YMCA silhouette!
You should try Pie Peddlers in Glen Rose Texas
I'd pick all the pies I liked too! I used to live in the Texas Hill country when I was a kid.
Another great video! Thanks for giving the reviews of the restaurants you visit. We too were surprised at the size of Luckenbach, Texas! We must have blinked, we complete missed the little area you visited. We were there at the end of March last year & saw all the beautiful bluebonnets. We would love to go back during peach season sometime. Keep up the great work, we always look forward to your videos.
I love traveling with you guys!
Thanks for bringing us along!
What's too sweet?😂
🤷♂️ 🤷♀️ 😂
So close … but you missed it! I recommend you check out Kerrville, Ingram, Hunt and Comfort the next time you’re in the Texas Hill Country. All are unique historical towns in gorgeous surroundings.
Great video!
Firefly is a nice but pricey park. They have no cancellation policy unless you pay a hefty fee and even then it is two weeks out. Make sure you make that reservation.
It very much was designed to be a true Resort, not your budget camping. They are adding Pickleball, indoor clubhouse, heated pool, etc. They also have great local artists playing live every Fri/Sat night, along with food trucks. Their cancellation policy reflects that of many other RV nicer campgrounds in popular areas we’ve visited in that you can cancel, but are issued a “Credit” to use at a later date, when you reschedule.
Thanks for sharing. We didn’t think the price was bad at all for an rv site when we were there, especially for everything it had to offer. If anyone is questioning, just go to the link and put in a date and you’ll see the daily rate for that date. Cancellations we are not familiar with and didn’t see what that was. We felt it’s definitely a great place to stay.
Great video! I know I’m old and forgetful, but is the ranking that flashes on the screen new? Have a great week!
Glad you enjoyed. I used it just a couple times in the past but decided to bring it back.
Welcome to the Hill Country!
Pie for lunch. Who doesn’t love that?
Enchanted Rock about 20 miles from my home.
We live in Katy and I had Proud Pie for dessert tonight. I don’t know y’all had been through here until just now!
And we were at Firefly a few weeks ago!
If you are still in the area, you would love the town of green GRUENE, Texas, and or Wimberley Texas. I am in Dripping Springs and I frequent both of those towns.
We left Texas now but we’ll have to add those to our list. Thank you for the recommendation! 🧡😊🤓
+1 for Greene & eat at Gristmill. @@LivinRVision
Going to palm springs in a couple weeks. Told the wife about Sherman’ deli. Any suggestions on sandwiches. Safe travels
The Stacker! It’s a huge Rueben but even their regular Reuben is great. Even with the gluten free bread is very good. We may see you there! 😁🤓
I’ll be on the lookout
The pie looks delicious, we appreciate the hard work you do to find good pie. 😂 Our home base is in Az and we would love to meet you guys when you’re passing through! We live in the mountains (Heber) but are back and forth to the valley all winter.
Y’all’s affinity for pie is infectious! Maybe I missed it, but have y’all done a video on how much you’ve had to change your lifestyle between all of the RVs you’ve had? Also, other than space what challenges Vanlife has versus your Class A or your Airstream, and all of the differences.
I know the feeling. Pie Girl has infected me as well! 😂
Yes. Each time we have changed to a different RV, we released a video and talked about the differences as well as in talking about the differences in various. Ideas along the way. We give little pieces of information within numerous videos also so that there is little nuggets of info within multiple videos regardless of the title. If someone skips a video because of the title or skips ahead during the video, they’re going to miss things.
@@LivinRVision Thank you! We are considering downsizing for retirement. Appreciate your content!
We’re downsizing from a 34’ class A to a 24’ Leisure Travel Van next week. It will be an experience 😂 Love that tiny home rv resort but golf carts $100/day? 😳. Another great video!
Yeah, at $100 a day, we’ll walk 😂 It’s a nice place and convenient and their RV site rates aren’t bad at all.
Too sweet? Is that really a thing? 😂
Love this video!! Fredericksburg and area are amazing. We visit often. Swing through Eastland, Texas at some point and visit "Old Rip"!! P.S--Llano--is sounded as it cat
👍🏻 We find our pronunciations online, many times different than what locals pronounce
love your channel!!!@@LivinRVision
Fredricksburg is a cool little town, im more a fan of Wimberley as its right on the Blanco River ;)
Brian: in the time you have been in the Strada, have you encountered situations where you would have preferred having four wheel or all wheel drive? Thanks for your time and the great pie filled videos.
We have not, we have not been anywhere where we needed 4wd/awd.
Just saw that y'all want to come back to Old Tunnel. If you do, be sure to eat at Alamo Springs Cafe, right there by the park. Best burgers and Onion Rings in Texas - and I don't like onions!!
+1 for Alamo Springs. You were so close, I figured you went there.
What software do you use for your editing? Your videos are excellent!
Thank you! It really has very little to do with the software. They all do all the basics with some few differences and add-ons that you can purchase and utilize, but “you” still have to do all the editing and creativity. I use Final Cut Pro.
Great place to visit in the spring with all the bluebonnets. Try some peach cobbler also. 🥸😎🤓
😋👍🏻🤓
I've been to Fredericksburg and Luckenbach twice in the last 3 years as well as many other places you have been, I'm always amazed that you see different things than I do! Guess I'm more blue collar than you! I spent the night twice in the Luckenbach parking lot! I'm curious why, with a van, you stay in these high dollar resorts? I know you hit the Cracker Barrels so you do have some boondocking capability. I sold my Class A just to get away from row camping! I just wanted to say that your B-Roll really helps to tell the story and gives a better sense of the place. I hope to do as good as you do with my own videos! -Jimmie
Well, as mentioned in the video, the place we stayed was one of our viewers personal sites.
Have you given any thought to settling down, or do you "hopefully" plan on continuing your freedom? Any regrets?
No plans as of yet. The only thing we want to eventually do is by a small place to put all of our things from storage in and utilize as a place to stay very short term once in a while.
No regrets, the beauty of the country and the people we meet keep us going. We can easily stop anytime we want. We have been full-time over 5 years now. 👍🏻🧡😊🤓
👍
I see you parked right within the lines on the street. How long is your rig? We are in the process of buying a B, 21 feet long
It’s 24 ft long
How much power are you getting from your solar setup?
Just 300 watts which is only like a trickle charge for the 1,260 ah of batteries it has.
@@LivinRVision I realize there are 300 watt worth of solar panels on the roof. Are you seeing 100% of that capacity being actually delivered? I'm not sure if you have the renogy or another charge controller installed but there should be an app with the metrics. I thought the 300 was more of a theorical max but would be lower in real world use. If you are getting 100% power from those, that would be amazon. Please let me know? Thanks.
@youtubeviewer4356 the reason I mentioned the solar panels are basically just a trickle charge to the house batteries is because they literally are and yes, those 2 Lithionics batteries DO provide the usage time/demonstrations that we have explained in various videos. You can’t find 1,260 ah in any other van manufacturer out there. The solar panels don’t do hardly anything for the house batteries. The unit we are currently testing has the Adventurer solar charger and you can adjust how much you dedicate to the house or chassis batt. If you are interested in the Strada-ion, and you need more info than that, we’d suggest sending us an email and we can point you in the right direction to get what you need. As you know, we test these units short term and never have to change these settings from factory.
Just curious, were you guys in the dental business?
Also, love your travels, but please show more of how you live in the Gretch RV. I’m 75, wife 69 and we’re thinking about one. First time RVers. Love the color of yours. Thank you.
No, we were not in the dental business (??).
We have videos out there that show how we live in the van, but that is not something that we keep showing over and over. We throw in little pieces of our lives in the van throughout various videos to keep the videos interesting for the majority of our viewers, not just a select few. You have to watch every video in order to see everything.
You’ll need $240,000 for a Gretch
You’ll need the same for an Airstream Interstate (Strada-ion comparable) that doesn’t compare. Go to a show sometime and look at the details. They are both pricey, but you get what you pay for pretty much. The value is much better with the Grech with these two.
@@LivinRVision I agree the Gretch is top knotch but, most people probably have to stay under 100k.
Too sweet? Is that really a thing?
😂
you showed your sheet set attached to comforter in a video i can’t find it on your Amazon store can you tell me the brand? Than you 😍
It’s called “Beddy’s”. Not sold on Amazon. 👍🏻😊🤓
@@LivinRVision ty
Hi, does living on the road. Make you feel less safe. Are there many road issues. When it comes to being safe.
5 plus years now and we have not felt unsafe at all. We always choose to stay where we feel the safest. If we aren’t comfortable with a place, we move on and look for another.
*pie trail
Great road trip & be safe always. The only turn off is the wimpish facial reactions when your displeased with something. It's certainly not enough to quit watching your future travels. Simply an observation on what could be a better travel experience without the delicate wimpish host. Blessings Always!!!
Not quite sure what you’re talking about because we have never heard this before. ? Either way, we just continue being who we are and showing our true reactions to things. Just like any show there is, you’re not going to like everything you see or hear. We don’t fake very well. 🤪
Not ascending to the top of Enchanted Rock was a Major Miss. Shame on you …….
😂 Like many, we miss some things when we are in a rush and limited on time. Shame on us 😂
