We Hiked to the Mexican Border, and This is What We Saw!
This 8 mile long hike in Seminole Canyon State Park is an absolutely amazing hike you need to try! The trail follows Seminole Creek to the the Rio Grande at the Mexican border where Texas ends. Stop for a little rest and snack at the overlook to Panther Cave. When ready, you can take the easy way back to the trailhead on the Rio Grande Trail which is essentially a dirt road.

Solo Exploration and Camping by My 13th Abandoned Pond
Decided to do a quick overnighter at another abandoned pond out at the Charles C. Deam Wilderness. This one was not very far out, probably about 0.8 miles from the Hickory Firetwower Parking lot. I had not used my Zpacks Duplex tent in a while and so wanted to take it with me. I also had some new products I was testing out such as a Stansport 8-inch oil lantern, UCO tealight lantern, and a Silky Big Boy 2000 saw. All worked perfectly and really added to the trip. Made my usual meal of a ribeye steak cooked over the fire and just really enjoyed myself. I love to do a solo camping every once in a while. I also enjoy making videos where I let the pictures tell the story rather than narrate them. I hope you all enjoy this one.

2 Days Exploring and Camping by an Abandoned Pond
Well, another pond exploration in the books, and this one I had company. A few of my camping buddies joined me for this one. We found a nearby homestead foundation, ate great camp meals, had wonderful campfire chats, and overall it was a very good trip. This is another pond in the Charles C. Deam Wilderness that was either built by the Civilian Conservation Corps or was part of some of the original families that settled the area and tried to make a go of farming. We had great sunny weather on Saturday of this trip and it was nice to have my friends with me.

Trail of Abandoned Buildings
One of Victor’s “Trails of Gold”, the Vindicator Valley Trail leads you two miles around the historic Independence mining camp outside of Victor. Construction of the mines began in the 1890s and came to a close in the 1950s when the Vindicator mine shut down. Several of Victor’s largest mines are located here. There are over a dozen mines on the hillside visible from the trail and from the road if you’re just driving by. It’s a very scenic hike along a gravel road.
Antique Trash Upcycled to Treasure?
We were searching a military camp used by the US Army during the Spanish American War (1898-1899). We located an antique jug that would have been extremely valuable if it had not been broken 120+ years ago. We will have more videos attempting to salvage this incredible piece of history.
