That aquarium like spring creek was astounding. All the crystal clear Texas water is such a treasure to me coming from Miss where all we had was muddy water.
Such a magical and mysterious area. I'm not sure anyone not from here can see the majesty of the area...Caves visible from the high bridge show evidence of community and peyote use from 3-4 thousand years ago. Absolutely magical, mysterious Texas!!!!! TY for the vid!
I was just near Sheffield about a week ago. Too bad I didn't know about Independence creek preserve until I saw this part of your video. I would have visited that area when I went through Sheffield. The sidewalks along that spring fed creek look a lot like the sidewalks along the San Marcos river where it starts there in San Marcos. Except this spot is 10 times more prettier then that other Spring fed river in San Marcos. I've also been through Langtry many times, I enjoy it every time I stop there.
Truly enjoy your videos. Langtry is such a cool place to visit. My family and I usually drive out there when we won’t to get out and explore. Always excited to see what new videos you post.
We love going to Langtry but missed the cemetery. We’ll have to walk it more next time. We also tried going to Pandale but we weren’t sure of the gravel road so we turned around. Now we know it’s okay to travel through !!!
Thank you so much for taking us with you to visit all the amazing adventures.♥️ Yeah my Forefather (Juan Bautista Chapa) travel this trail in1630 all the way to Santa Fe. On 4:22/12:54, it looks like someone is hiding from you. One the left on the hill.❓
This is a great study for model railroad scenery of west Texas. I had already built a lime stone bluff on my model railroad. I thought I painted it a bit too gray, maybe even a little too dark of a gray. Then when I saw the bluff across from Langtry, I had accidentally gotten it just right.
I’ve been down there several times. My buddy use to have a ranch near Pandale. Know that if you kayak down a Texas river, the river is public, but most land on each side is Private Property and you’ll be trespassing if you go on land without permission from land owner.
I lived in New Mexico all of my childhood . The pecos river runs above ground for miles then it goes back underground in NM . It does the same in west texas
In the city of Carlsbad there are 2 dams on that river for flood control .then northwest of carlsbad there is a large man made lake using the pecos river.
Why are there so many springs all over Texas in such an arid region? Is that just part of the ground water that seeps out? I have seen that many times in Floridian springs, but it's quite fascinating to have this many springs in a desert that can fill an entire river. Even the Devil's river you covered did not even seem to originate far up north and must be solely fed by springs.
that looks amazing! do you know if independence creek has any camping allowed? I couldnt find info on their website, couldnt even find hours of operartion
How far south of Sheffield is that creek you mentioned? 15 miles 5 miles 20 miles? I got to see that some day! & I thought the only thing out there to enjoy was Fort Lancaster...
Across the rio from the bluff you were standing on at the end of your video, allegedly a UFO crash landed there... I dunno. It is documented if you look for it. All that area is one of my old teenage stomping grounds, I got away with soo much crazy stuff; and If i could go back, I'd do it again.

Folks, it really is worth the time to visit that part of TX.
Beautiful cactus garden.

Chicago hears Texas calling, again! That clear water looked delicious. Another good video.

Awesome places! I'm proud to be from around the area! Never been to this part of the pecos! I love it. Gonna check it out! Thanks! 👍
Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad I was able to show you something new.
Me too!
Beautiful!
You should explore the calvary history not far there in brackettville on the old fort Clark. Las moras springs has water just as clear.
Brackettville is on my list
Calvary is the place where Christ was crucified. I think you mean Cavalry. 🙏
@@stevemelancon6207 oh well !
beautiful river and some great camerawork on the kayak!!
Love it, Thank you. Got some new places to visit
That water is liquid gold! Thanks for sharing. 👍😉🇨🇦
Very good very cool and
Informative.
Nice footage thks
I own 164 acres with 500+ feet of riverfront 1/2 mile downstream from the Pandale bridge. Old Billy
In the city of Carlsbad there are 2 dams on that river for flood control .then northwest of carlsbad there is a large man made lake using the pecos river.
A major documented trip, Pandale to theRio Grande, 61 miles
The Pecos river is an inner tuber's dream.
Thnxs 4 sharing 🇺🇸
You must pick up some streams and washes in those foothils. You can jump across it in NM
Yes, Independence Creek shown in the video is probably the most important one
Great video. Would love to kayak the Pecos someday.
Thanks for visiting. I can't wait to get back there soon.
Nice! Thank You ....
Please pick me up and take there❤️
Thumbs up. Is that Pecos Hank doing the narrative?
I would not be able to be in that much water without a fishing pole!
It definitely looks like a great place for that, especially if you move downstream a bit.

Beautiful scenery! Also, your footage is very stable. Do you use a gimbal?
I don't actually, though I think one might be useful.

Right now the preserve isn't open to the public (covid, check Nature Conservancy website) but you can access it if you stay at Chandler Ranch
Is there a foot path from langtry to the rio grande? About 10 years ago, I couldn't find one without trespassing

23 miles
@@secretsoftexas6872 There's only one road that I know of that heads south. & that's got to be the one going to Dryden.
LONE STAR 4 LIFE 🤟🤠

Is there peyote native around pandale crossing ?? or further south
