hey everybody Eric here from nomadic fanatic I hope you guys are doing well we are only one
hour from San Antonio today and once again I'm utilizing a free rest area actually I
think they call this a picnic area here and I've got Frida parked here my own little spot
tater tot there some mountains we are close to a County Road out here so sometimes they'll come
whizzing by at night but we've got this View look at that guys pretty cool spot
thanks for joining me guys I will be uploading this video with some Nomad internet you'll find
a link below in the video description for unlimited internet on the road and I do hear
water down there but I can't see it we got lots of fall colors with the orange just actually let
me hop up here let me get a better Peak yeah there is definitely water and possibly even a
dam actually actually let's drone it I'll get my drone pop it up over the edge and we'll all look
together and see what's down there right there we go the DJI mavic 2. we need a controller here and
you can't mess up with the DJI platform because it's constantly connected to everything going on
it won't even let me take off in an area where I'm not allowed to take off yep good battery
[Music]
well there you go as we look live here it looks like it's some sort of another Lake
Dam Area maybe even a campground on the other side but uh yeah I'm surprised by how all all
the how nice and pretty all the waters look here in Texas you you kind of wouldn't expect it but
there are a lot of pretty lakes and rivers in Texas that are semi-clear and really colorful
nice day out here though also going to be staying off of I-10 today uh for the rest of these 60
miles that get us into San Antonio because I just don't want to be on an interstate I want to take
some back roads and see if we can find some new interesting stuff along this route today
so let's go come on with me
we are going east on Texas 27 towards Ingram is where we're going to be stopping up here and I
don't know how I'm gonna deal with it once I get parked today I was pretty much ready for winter
okay it was freezing 22 degrees now today it's going to be 90 degrees in San Antonio I'm just
like how does your brain like bring summer back in November you know not that I'm complaining
I'm loving this this is this is working out really really well wow okay interesting little
place here in Ingram Texas we got an Easter Island head here and look at this Stonehenge
so if you're keeping up on the channel uh how many Stonehenge replicas have I been to
this is actually the fourth uh this is the most lifelike from the original in England this one is
a three-quarter size replica of Stonehenge and it is made of rock here like concrete whatever
we could get all of a sudden I'm doubting that it's really a Rock concrete it might be part
of a plaster let's look at the ground that'll give it away well no it's coated with concrete
so it's got concrete outer but definitely not concrete so I'm wrong on that but wow
it's pretty cool in here
this replica here is in much better condition than the original overseas in in England
which is probably crumbling and falling to pieces but uh I I will let you know that
um uh this channel is is going to be making a change um this guy here is going to come into play
do I really want to say this yeah before the end of the year in fact we are going International
here on the channel and that is my teaser for those of you who watch all my videos now I got
everybody wondering what country I'm going to next month not Mexico not Canada so you know
all right this park is called Luis Hayes Park it's like a pretty little spot to have lunch
but am I gonna find a place to park the RV that's the only okay Matt
yeah I think I'm done with those TV dinners by the way I'm gonna go with a probably bologna and
cheese sandwich or peanut butter and jelly sandwich maybe nice they got a largemouth
bass I think made out of Mosaic Kerrville Texas we'll get up close so you can see all the little
concrete Rock marbles that go into it pretty neat and they got an outdoor fountain area with some
umbrella tents it's warm day that's that you know you start getting down
here in the Heart of Texas and uh they don't even turn these off in the winter
I mean it stays warm and you can use these year round there's no chance of freezing here
awesome but I'm gonna pass on getting moist right now I'm getting moist later and we've
got this really nice walking hiking biking trail and it'll lead you right to the Guadalupe River
wow some ducks down there in the water
some people fishing off the bridge here and uh yeah beautiful time to be in Texas y'all gosh
man I love life I love traveling I love chasing good weather I love seeing new things I'm in
my element right now guys I really am yeah there's beaches in Texas look how pretty this is
Little Island out there with some trees
got some puppies enjoying the water here playing fetch how great is that did you fetch me a stick
you fetched me a stick thank you I needed that can I have it you sharing
thank you
ready go
nice day in Texas let me make a quick little lunch and then we'll get back on the road get
a little bit closer to San Antonio Texas all right I told you we have to run some solar AC
here gonna have to so Wayne installed these fans on this compartment or I was going to cover them
up for the Winter thank goodness I remembered that it's still warm and we are going to need
them they haven't kicked on yet but once it goes over I believe 81 degrees inside the compartment
those fans will kick on for me and if it gets really hot like that one time in my other RV I
may have to keep this whole compartment open but let's go walk over here we got we got a Holiday
Inn Express and Suites here in Texas I don't stay at a lot of hotels or motels since I have
everything I need in my RV but sometimes I need to for whatever repairs or what's going on with
my RV I'm usually a Red Roof guy personally oh of course there's a fence and I can't see over
well here let's see if we can see they got a pool you can't tell from this view but that pool right
there that pool is not your everyday average round pool in order to get an idea we gotta pop
the Drone up in the air and take a look from the aerial view all right there's my RB in the center
of the frame there as we move closer towards the motel there's the Red Roof and the pool's gonna
come into view here in just a moment and take note it's in the shape of the state of Texas
and a little star right there I love it actually that's oh the Stars the hot tub heck yeah I'd be
and I cannot believe nobody is using it right now and I'm flying over beautiful nicely done
nicely done gotta love that that Texas feel in everything all right next stop about 30 miles
to go into San Antonio not looking forward to the traffic we are going to be camping in the heart of
San Antonio a harvest host actually called The Alamo so I am just going to keep the cameras
off in case there's some foul words that come out of my mouth during this and uh we'll figure
this out let you know when we get parked wow what a neat Place guys how many Harvest host locations
do you think I've stayed at in the last was it five years since I've been a member I'm one of
the classic members they're in they're in the six digit member numbers now I'm a four digit Harvest
host member and uh I would say at least 50. we've been to at least 50 on this channel right
never had this at a harvest host before in the parking lot where they want the RVs to park and
they can host three RVs at a time yeah guys they got 30 amp and uh 15 amp regular plug there too
thank you Jerry for the 30 amp surge protector here so that is nice because it is a little
warm here I know it doesn't look warm in in the picture here but it is humid and hot in November
my app says it's 91 degrees with an expected high of 90 and feels like 94. this is the first time
I've experienced humidity finally we've gotten far enough East into Texas where it is moist
and humid and hot so the kitties are going to appreciate non-stop air conditioning here while we
go over to Alamo Beer Company here's the entrance of the Alamo beer company with a walking bridge
above us they've got an artificial Green Turf football field out here for you to party and
enjoy there's their logo Alamo let's go towards the front here really cool outdoor space is
probably going to come alive here in a couple hours once it gets dark it's still kind of warm
let's see here every Thursday beer bacon Bingo five rounds of bingo with trivia well that sounds
fun tonight and here we go we're on the inside here where they've got again craft craft beer up
there they got a full kitchen and even got some take-home six packs here I wonder if they have a
flight to get me started here that might be a good start right they also have this souvenir Barrel
that looks awesome that looks cool and like always I asked him to surprise me there so number one
is the 1816 pilsner it's gonna be this guy right there I'll go through a couple of these small four
ounce Samplers and see what I like best all right still working on the sampler here but look at
this happy pretzel guys and cheese oh my gosh that looks ridiculous it's heal it's huge huge [Music]
oh yeah that was a really good pretzel gonna say it's better than a Disney fretzel even
that of all four of those I went with well the alamo's version of a fancy Bud Light which would
be the 18 not 16. it's 18 pounds I missed that one but it's 18 pound pilsner is my favorite
they opted out for the souvenir Barrel cut because it's a 50 cup it's cool but it's not 50.
[ __ ] okay now I understand the fake football field it's a playground for the kids so that
the parents can drink actually that's really smart I'll be back tonight I want to go check
in on the kitties real quick well let's see how productive the kitties have been
what you didn't build me the Taj Mahal while I was gone you didn't do anything huh you just slept now
you demand all my attentions all right you got my attentions what you need Opie where's your sister
where's your little sister or your big sister huh her sleeping too hers not sleeping hers ready for
dinner yeah it's dinner time Tara what do you want me to cook you I'll cook you anything you
want as long as it's in a can okay good girl yeah they're pet friendly there but you can't go inside
you can be outside but you can't go inside for some reasons I don't know I don't know
so because of where I'm parked I'm leaning towards the driver's side a little bit so when I open this
bathroom door to let air conditioning in there it doesn't stay open and there's no way to like
no matter how much I push it against the side the door still closes so I'm not saying I'm a
genius or anything but I'm just using part of the cord for my charger around the knob and it's like
magic so it's just the simple little things in life that make life easier better you know
[Music]
well I figure we could go check out what it's like at night I talked to Tara she doesn't want to go
Opie really wants to go so he's in the backpack behind me let's go see what it's like outside to
with the outdoor activities and the opies and the dopeys with the outsideness yeah well it looks
about the same as the daytime the same kids are still out here playing parents know where to be
seen but uh yeah Opie double dopely they didn't have any Kitty beer I asked I asked specifically
and they said no kitty beer kitties don't need the beers but Eric's Eric's needs the 18 pounder
that's what I need yeah bummer I didn't know they actually closed at 8pm tonight we
have only got about 40 minutes left uh here's some of their Steins and stuff they brew with
and as we go back on on the weekends they actually have like live music and stuff here
but uh Opie what do you think about the outside world man Tara doesn't know what she's missing
I kind of I kind of dig it dead kind of like the outside man you know you know Opie so what's your
overall feeling of this place oh man it's okay but you know they should have an open bar for
catnip and stuff fat kitty beer water that's approved for kitties over the drinking age
man I'm drinking age as soon as I start drinking water that's true yeah good point I'm Dad I'm
ready to go tell Tara about my experiences and what would your experiences be well the you know
it's pretty cool outside too the RV is cool I mean your RV's cool man but you know it's pretty cool
outside too Tara just so you know okay thanks for letting her know okay okay that's a puppy
you don't like puppies or do you like do you want a puppy what kind of puppy would you like
when a yorkie should we get a Yorkie Kevin says Yorkies are like dogs for cat people
we should look for a Yorkie yeah all right so Opie and I are gonna head back to the RV
I'm gonna be careful about how I put this but I got along really well with the staff here at
Alamo Brew and uh although you may have known that if you're a harvest host member no matter
what you're only allowed one night I can't help what I was told tonight for ten dollars
a night extra up to 14 days this bar will allow you to stay one additional night so I paid an
additional ten dollars to the bar directly outside of harvest host to stay one more night because I
love this place so much however I am not going to film night two here at this place I'm just
gonna enjoy it so from Obi in the backpack and tearing the RV and I we will see in the next
video heading towards my sister and my mom's place guzzy well see you later bye-bye foreign
