Big Bend National Park + Marfa, TX | US Road Trip Days 4-7

[@lockguy2652]

My wife and I actually honeymooned in the Big Bend area back in '95. Blown away by the stars, wide open views...

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

What an amazing honeymoon spot!

[@SchoandJo]

Marfa looked so quirky! We loved the tumbleweed rolling by at 5:30 ; it seemed like a very Texas thing to do.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hahahah it's amazing how excited we get when we see tumbleweed 😂😂😂

[@dylanfromflorida1619]

Definitely will go to Marfa Texas now and I can’t wait! I agree with Kathryn the art looked amazing!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Marfa + Big Bend are a must in Texas!

[@bettyrawlinson6926]

Just found you on you tube. Was Looking for Big Bend and Marfa videos for our upcoming trip. We have been to Marfa and Big Bend many times. Love the area. The first time we went to see the Marfa lights we didn't see them either. The next time there was a local there and they were showed us where to look. Seen them about 7 times. We also help newbies find them. love your video can't wait to watch the rest of your trip.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Wow cool! We will need you to come with us next time and show us! What are some spots you like in Big Bend and Marfa that we didn’t make it to? And unfortunately we had a big hard drive failure and lost most of the rest of this trip’s footage 😭 (California spots) so we will have to go back and film it again!

[@SchoandJo]

Kathryn, it's wild how similar you and Jen are. Jen moved from New York to Florida when she was 8 too!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Awww yay! Moving twins! 🙌

[@conniepharr7426]

Bluebell vanilla bean with fresh Fredricksburg peaches... A match made in heaven

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Sounds sooo good!

[@superdave1949]

Never realized how lucky my wife and I were to have had our experience with the Marfa Lights. We were there around 2005 and saw so many lights we lost count! At times there were as many as five at once. A few regulars there did tell us it was an above-average night.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That is awesome!!! We are dying to get back to this area, it's just so far from Austin, so we will have to make another trip and maybe we will get lucky!

[@nancyguthrie5353]

What an incredible compilation of your work here!

[@like2befishing197]

Going all the way back on your videos! Fun stuff

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hahaha thanks for watching the old stuff!

[@nataliejw8865]

Stayed a night in Marfa last Christmas on my drive from ATX to Tucson. Cute town with yummy food and unique chill vibe. Didn't see the Martha lights either but the stars were ah-mazing!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It’s such a quirky little town! And oh my gosh those stars 🤩🤩🤩

[@scottlaroche2006]

The Marfa Lights are car lights on the highway from Presidio.

[@kellygamble6787]

I have lots of family from New Mexico and when we used to travel there to see family our first stop was Lotaburger.

[@rebeccaroth3903]

Planning our trip to Big Bend and had to check in with "Baby A+K" lol The Pre-Brisket days!

[@dianen6638]

You guys are awwwwesommmm! I totally look forward to the out takes👏❤️😂

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Lol!!! We always get so sad when we have no blooper content. We love throwing in some bloopers! 🤣

[@1121gsm]

You guys are really good. My wife and I went to Big Bend in April--stayed in Terlingua in one of those old trailers, climbed Emory Peak, and loved the feel of the place. We passed through Marfa but didn't stop--sorry. We didn't stop at the Prada place either. We did stop at Shafter just south of Marfa to eat lunch. You always mention Seattle; I didn't know you were from Texas. I spent 12 years in Texas (Wichita Falls and San Antonio) when I was in the Air Force. Thanks again for your great videos.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We really want to go back to this area! We are originally from Austin, lived in Seattle for 3 years before the van, and are now legally Texans (my parent’s address) as we travel, but know we will end up in the PNW again someday!

[@suzanneaydelotte801]

I loved your West Texas Vlog! It was so special to spend Christmas with you guys in such a magical place! You two made me laugh so hard watching Adam enjoy your Texas treats! Watching makes me want to go back to Big Bend really soon...so beautiful!!! Marfa was such a cool place to visit...so relaxing! Can’t wait to see all your other stops!!! 😘❤️

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Suzanne Aydelotte we had so much fun with y’all!!! 💗

[@tpafiremedic]

We just did that a week and half ago... So Amazing

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We cannot wait to go back again someday!

[@remcat3572]

Marfa is where James Dean's last movie, "Giant" was filmed in 1955. It is one of my all-time favorite movies. The cast, including Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson, stayed at the Hotel Paisano in Marfa. It's a classic film that was hand-picked by Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg for a 4K restoration back in 2022. I'm hoping that the movie will be released into theaters in two years for the 70th anniversary. It stands the test of time - one for the ages.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Very cool! Love Marfa!

[@Ryan-dc6lj]

I was at that coffee shop not too long ago. I thought I recognized it during the intro! Funny, I clicked a random "Big Bend" video to play in the background while I worked. Now I'm invested :)

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Ah cool!!! We loved that coffee shop. Glad you randomly found us! 🤗🤗

[@Ryan-dc6lj]

@@AdventuresofAplusK Me too! :D I'm in Dallas, heading to Big Bend in a couple months. Can't wait. Loving the content so far, excited to watch everything.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

You’ll love it! We honestly cannot believe it’s in Texas! Have you been to Palo Duro Canyon? That place is also super cool! Thank you so much for the support! We have a ton of fun things planned in the near future we can’t wait to share!

[@Ryan-dc6lj]

@@AdventuresofAplusK Yes, once, but it was before I really started to appreciate hiking, camping, road trips, etc (basically all I want to do now lol)... absolutely need to go back. Very welcome!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We know that feeling! We just got into all of that a few years back and it has changed our lives! Happy adventuring to ya! 🙌🏼

[@texashikeaholicsadventures]

Fantastic video!! Love your personalities!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much for watching and the kind words! 🤗🤗🤗

[@loeyminske3459]

alot about Marfa but never been. We'll have to check that out along with Big Bend. We were in Texas last February before the quarantine started and we never stopped to get Whataburger! So wish we had! Not sure if that or In N Out could beat my 5 Guys, though. ; )

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

I will probably be banned from Texas for saying this, but I like Shake Shack, In N Out, and Five Guys better than Whataburger 😅 BUT it is good! and a nostalgic Texas spot!

[@luzejo28]

Haha! I enjoyed the bloopers at the end. I love your vibes. 🥰 It's fun, informative, and I really appreciate the recommendations esp where to get food and where to stay. 👍 Thank you for what you guys do! My son and I are planning to do a road trip to Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountain this year. We're excited.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks so much for the kind words! We hope y’all have a great trip!

[@AnitaX0099]

Planning trips for summer and checking this old episode for recommendations. Kathryn’s mom looks so young!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh gosh don’t watch this one lol! 😂😂 My mom has aged beautifully!

[@bhupeshdihenia6514]

Great vlog. Thank you for the review!

[@mickster1780]

enjoyed the video! love Big Bend 🤠

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We love the park so much!

[@dblee828]

This "old" video came up. Your editing and videoing has advanced so much

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We think so too. Thanks

[@Kindlelover88]

You make me want all the coffee drinks you guys try holy moly.

[@Roadtosomethingnew1]

Never heard of this town but great to see it for the first time.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Marfa is super quirky and artsy! Many of those towns in West Texas are really worth the visit!

[@SchoandJo]

Hi Kathryn's parents :) You guys are so cute at 10:35 !

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

👋👋👋 They are adorable! Wish I could get them on camera more 😜

[@jimmyolivares9856]

Just discovered your channel and I love it!!! Quick question...what breed is your dog?!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much Jimmy! We think she is a Pit/Jack Russell/Dachshund mix!

[@janettaylor2681]

Great video. Marfa looks like a fun stop! I will be there in 3 days with 12 ladies. We need a quirky place to eat. Anything you reccomend?

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Sorry for the late response! We haven’t been in a few years and I’m sure much has changed there since our last visit. We hope you found some nice spots and are having a great trip!

[@janettaylor2681]

@@AdventuresofAplusK amazing trip, thank you! We are now in Big Bend and there are 34 of us doing various trail and float trips. It is always magical to be in Big Bend! I completed Emory peak and the South Rim yesterday. AMAZING!

[@6914junior]

So, we just drove by the Prada store, got groceries at Porter’s, had coffee with your Mom and Dad, and are now heading to Big Bend National Park for a few days. Unfortunately, Food Shark was closed today. 😟😟😟

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Y’all have a blast! Too bad it was closed 😭 we noticed some spots having weird hours in Marfa.

[@antoniomorales261]

I plan on going there in a few weeks. Hopefully the roads are opened from the shutdown

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

I hope so too! They should be open right now, but I think there is a lot of uncertainty around what will happen in a few weeks. Crossing our fingers for you!!!

[@pitherra]

My husband and I owned a 10 avres in Terlingua

[@kelly_hunsaker_reads]

Ive started from the beginning but that means scrolling all the way back every time. Do you have a better strategy -- playlists, or something else?

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hey Kelly! I know KZbin (not that long ago) had a sort oldest to newest function on the video tab on channels, but they took it away for some reason! We just created a "Start from the beginning" playlist! kzbin.info/aero/PLZKRTK1yCEM7dPwfjjUjQ2F1OMTJv_fKh Thank you so much for watching!
