Great video of one of my favorite parks. During my last trip to Big Bend in 2021, I did an 8.5 mile guided bird hike up Laguna Meadows trail to try and find the Colima Warbler. The Chisos Mountains are the only place in the United States where this bird breeds each year. Unfortunately, we did not see the bird, but I did get a couple of new birds. The most important thing to know about hiking in Big Bend is to make sure you have enough water. As many times as I have been to Big Bend, I had no idea that they had a landfill. I'm so glad that you included it in your video.

That little excursion across the Rio Grande looked fun and very interesting too. Thanks so much for sharing. Wish you safe travels & stay well. Hope the puppers are good too. P.S.

How did your Vista NP do with dry camping. How many hours a day do you generally leave dogs inside motorhome while you explore. Also do you tow behind or drive the Honda on travel days?
@NewstateNomads
@NewstateNomads Жыл бұрын
Maria, lots of great questions! The Vista NPF has large holding tanks, lithium battery, expanded solar and advanced power management which combined makes dry camping pretty painless. If we're in truly hot conditions, the system will even kick on the generator and run the A/C to help keep the dogs safe. We typically don't leave the dogs for more than 8 hours in the RV, and usually come back for lunch, too. Finally, yes we flat tow our CR-V, and won't go back to towing with a dolly (our Santa Fe couldn't be towed flat, but we've been towing a CR-V since 2020). 👍 -Howard

There are MASSIVE mountains surrounding the park both along the Mexico and US sides, so it's pretty isolated! The Mexican town of Boquillas is wonderful and the people living there are incredibly kind & welcoming! 😄Their town is very remote, the next nearest town is several hours away from them.

The wide angle lens needs a good cleaning for sure! Big spot, top center of shots.

Yep, it turned out to be a spot on the camera sensor! We kept cleaning the lenses, but finally found the spot on the sensor. Saguaro will be the last with the dreaded spot, lol.

I love your videos we watch every week, but please clean your camera sensor. You have a big dust bunny on it in the last several videos. Sorry

Scott, thanks and we know! Unfortunately we couldn't ship the camera to get it cleaned (since we needed it for the tight schedule), and there wasn't a place to get cleaning supplies until our next major city. There's one more video with the infamous "spot" and then I was finally able to get it cleaned. Thanks for your patience! 👍 -Howard

It’s a shame that we can send billions of dollars to Ukraine but we can’t fund our own beautiful National parks….we should fund them FIRST, then send what we have left to other countries. And as far as recycling, NJ only does #1 and #2 plastics, so it’s not that we don’t care, it’s that 95% of packaging can’t be recycled….we need to stop producing plastics, since it takes energy (oil) to recycle!!

Probably been asked before - with all the content creators unable to film in national parks - why are you so special? You might state in one of your videos why you can film and no one else can.

Hey David - there's certainly a lot of confusion around the most recent ruling. To be clear, nothing states that creators are unable to film in parks, you must apply for a permit. Commercial filming (which includes monetized KZbin and TikTok channels) requires at least applying for a permit. Some parks replied to our applications indicating that no permit is needed for our specific application and activity, but it is still important for everyone commercially filming to follow the new rules and apply every time (the parks who indicated no permit required did not ultimately charge us the application fee, either). Every park's process is different, but often they are looking for the type of filming activity, the locations and times. We are not special and are following the same requirements as everyone else. 😉 Hope that helps clarify!
