Deep Inside Sonora Caverns - Ep. 26 Full Time RV Living

It's no secret we love being underground and we love our caves. When we saw the billboard sign for Sonora Caverns in Texas, we just had to stop. We know our caves, but this one was quite beautiful and they had RV hookups!

[@waynecampsmith7885]

so very very cool, outstanding share!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks

[@Beavis6970]

Very cool, now on my list of must see places!!!

[@Totally-trailer]

Glad we could help! We have a very long list of must see places too!

[@janetkingshott8965]

Absolutely fascinating!

[@Totally-trailer]

Janet Kingshott Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!

[@PatrickHayhurst]

If you like this, you're going to LOVE Karchener Caverns in Benson, AZ. You should really make a trip to go see them.

[@GnatManAllinCoIronWorks]

WOW! Never knew it was so extensive! Very Cool. Thank you for sharing,C-Ya!,,,,Peace!

[@Totally-trailer]

GnatMan Allin Glad you liked it! It was a fun one with a dry cave and a wet cave too!

[@garrettsnuff]

Great Video Guys! 1979 I took my wife to see The Caverns of Sonora on our Honeymoon, the running joke for the last 37 years (and 20+ other caves and caverns) is "you took me to the best one first!" - so far, in our experience, nothing can compare to The Caverns of Sonora. In 1979 our tour was led by an old "cow hand" that had worked the ranch, for the owners of the caverns, for 40+ years. The "cow hand" was living a working retirement by leading tours of the caverns with only a key to unlock the chain on the door to the caverns and a 3 "D" cell flashlight. We sure got our money's worth that day. Not only did we see the most beautiful cavern imaginable we got 2 hours of narration on the cavern and a collection of wonderful stories about West Texas, the Sonora, TX area and the discovery and commercialization of the caverns. We have been back over the years, nothing has changed, still the most beautiful cavern system we have ever seen. God's Speed and Safe Travels.

[@Totally-trailer]

Wow, thanks so much for sharing that with us! That must have been quite the tour and what an awesome honeymoon! We are suckers for caves and caverns and thought this one was quite stunning. Wish we could have seen it back then and heard all of the stories. Wishing you a blessed New Year!

[@biker_dudefastlane9339]

I'll have to add that to my list.

[@Totally-trailer]

Absolutely, we recommend it!

[@liloldme2789]

This is a MUST SEE in person as videos and pics can never do it justice! We loved it and just happened upon it as we took some wrong turns in Texas last Spring. The deeper you go the more beautiful it is! No pics or vids of the peacocks?

[@Totally-trailer]

CaptJeff W Yes, it is a must see! We do have photos of the peacocks and the gigantic squirrels, but we wanted to focus more on the cave for this one. Glad you liked the Caverns too!

[@cherkelley4589]

Stunning underground art work! Not sure I could do that one, but grateful to see through your post 🤗 loved the descriptions of the stalactites, holding tight, and stalagmites, might reach the top! Wonderful way to remember! That was beautifully videotaped. Some of the colors had a real blue hue. Was it really like that?

[@Totally-trailer]

Cher Kelley This was a special one and very different from some of the other ones we have been in. The blue hue could have been from the lighting but there was also water that was blue and green too so it was visually stunning!

[@conniesfinalquest9071]

Awesome. Going across Texas next week and would drove right past it if wasn't for your video I stumbled upon. Thanks guys! ❤

[@Totally-trailer]

That's great news, did you enjoy the caverns? Were they open?

[@conniesfinalquest9071]

@@Totally-trailer Stayed at their RV park overnight. Unfortunately, had a full on neuropathy attack in the morning. My brain said "Let's Go". My legs said "350 stairs?? Yeah, this ain't happening". So heading back there in the Spring hopefully.

[@Totally-trailer]

@@conniesfinalquest9071 sorry to hear that, hopefully you will be able to experience it in the spring!

[@wanders175]

That was a beautiful cave. Great video also. If you are coming back west again through Arizona, just South of Benson, AZ on Hwy 90, where you spent the night there is Kartchner Caverns State Park. They have RV camping there also. It's one of the top caverns to visit and have two sections open to the public at different times of the year. You can check it out their web site.

[@Totally-trailer]

William Anderson thanks for watching! We did Kartchner Caverns four years ago and enjoyed it. We also did Colossal Cave and that was fun too!

[@VernonWallace]

I have never heard of it. I have been to Carlsbad but this one looks more interesting. Thank you.

[@Totally-trailer]

Vernon W We really liked this one and we've seen quite a few! Definitely recommend it!

[@TheresOnlyOneWayToRock]

If you like caves, may I suggest Carlsbad Caverns in S.New Mexico. Also, if you are ever in southern Tennesee, a must visit is Ruby Falls.

[@Totally-trailer]

We are doing Carlsbad on our way back West, but we hadn't heard of the one in TN...thanks!

[@takayama1638]

Thanks again!! I think I have told y'all (aka, you guys, etc. Y'all are learning...), but when writing or saying the word, TEXAS, it must be done in all capitals. And for caves, y'all must go to Missouri. I think it has more caves, caverns, and holes in the ground than any other state. Check it out.

[@Totally-trailer]

We've only been to one in MO, but thanks for the tip :)

[@RaineyNite]

Looks like we have a few things in common. Lake Powell, caves and travel trailers! We have been going to lake Powell every year for about 20 years. We boat camp usually, we have a 25' bow rider similar to yours and one of our very favorite things to do is explore canyons like in your Powell video and camp on a beautiful secluded beach for a week, every year. Also take our boat into some of the caves on Lake Powell when the water level is low. There is something so exciting about driving your boat into a cave! We bought an Airstream a few months back to start exploring some National Parks and the country. While still maintaining a sticks and bricks house and a boat. Somethings gotta give. Anyway, last Summer we explored a Lava Tube in Flagstaff Arizona. Its at the end of a forestry road and it was amazing and I was wondering if you have found that place? If not, I really think its something that you would enjoy next time you are in Arizona. Happy Trails Northern Star Travelers

[@Totally-trailer]

Rainey Shafer Sounds like we have a lot in common! Maybe we will see you on Lake Powell this year?!

[@RaineyNite]

Yes! We'll be there in August I think. We haven't decided if we are going to bring the Airstream and the boat and camp at Lone Rock or at the campground in Page or boat camp somewhere around Dangling Rope. We have always boat camped.

[@Totally-trailer]

Rainey Shafer We've done both! Last year we stayed at the RV park in Page and in years past we boat camped or did the Houseboat thing. Hope to keep in touch and meet you out there. It's our fav place 😀

[@RaineyNite]

We'd love to meet up on Powell. Share a campfire and exchange Lake stories. We put in at Antelope. (Ahhhhhh valet boat launch is awesome, plus were up river a little bit more) We usually camp at or around Rock Creek.

[@HoustonBrownPhotography]

Looks like you may be headed to San Antonino area but if you happen to be heading toward west Austin, be sure to go through Fredericksburg and outside of Fredericksburg is a place called Enchnated Rock. Might be a bit cold to but something to see. Look it up if you have get chance. Cheers, Houston

[@Totally-trailer]

Thanks for watching and thank you for the info! Enchanted Rock has been on our list since we first decided to go to Texas!

[@justinhernandez9003]

I work there🤟🏽

[@kodakyellow3834]

Me too! Chavo.

[@kaybee2441]

Wow! Could hardly believe what I was seeing - can't imagine what it must have been like to see the caverns in person! We visited some cavernous caves in the Rock of Gibraltar, 300 metres above sea level. There were HUGE stalagmites and stalactites, and the cave 'ceilings' were as high as a six or seven storey building. If you do a search in Google images for St. Michael's caves, Gibraltar, you will see what we saw. But I am in more awe over the Sonora Caverns and their spectacular beauty! Thanks for taking us on the journey!

[@Totally-trailer]

kaybee2441 We will have to look up the Gibraltar ones that sounds incredible too! Thanks for sharing!

[@darrellrees4371]

@@Totally-trailer - Never have been to St. Michael's , but I understand that, at least many years ago, a symphony orchestra used to play regularly inside the cave. I don't know about you, but I think I would rather enjoy some flowstone and stalactites with my Beethoven!

[@catherineandoliver8151]

Here's another one of your locations that I have added to my must see list. I've got valley of the gods and now Sonora caverns. Keep going and safe travels!!!

[@Totally-trailer]

Did you see the one we did on the Lava Tubes and camping on the volcano? Glad we can add to your travel list...it's addicting isn't it?

[@catherineandoliver8151]

Totally Trailer Well, I'm still house locked and hopefully will be for a few years. I take care of my mom with Alzheimer's, but that doesn't stop me from compiling the list for when I hit the road!! Safe travels!!

[@dsmeadows2848]

I was going to PM you. But you don't have a message. I did the same for 5 years. And that ended 5 years ago....it is very hard...and I am still recovering. These traveling video's is just what my soul needs. I sure do miss my traveling days. I am currently debating on selling my home and going on the road... Guess is should just go buy a lottery ticket instead, but would sure be cheaper than owning a home on land...Call your church to have someone to give you a break to take a shower or just sleep, or take a quiet walk.....That was the hardest thing I ever did. ~Deb

[@ramblingman5338]

Simply beautiful! I really like seeing different caves. The wife & I will have to go & see this one.

[@Totally-trailer]

Rambling Man yes, we recommend it!

[@kennysart]

Wow! Such a beautiful cave and so different than some others we have been in. Thanks for sharing!

[@dirtyrottenracklefrack6003]

That was awesome, thank you :)

[@MrSTravelQuest]

Went recently and such an amazing cavern. What camera did you use? @8:42 looks so amazing!

[@katiethorne22]

Am loving your videos but sometimes the instrumental music doesn't seem to go with the atmosphere of where you are. Would have been nice to listen to the quiet of the caverns.

[@MrTommy001]

I see there's a million steps down, to get to the walking part. Do you have to climb the same million steps back up, or to you pop out somewhere and they put you on a shuttle back to the entrance? Hahahahahaha.

[@Totally-trailer]

MrTommy001 That's a great question! You wind down and through the cave system. Some steps here, some slopes there and you end up coming up a sloped ramp at a different exit (across the way from the gift shop entrance and RV park area). So different exit point from where we started, which was fun because we never had to backtrack.

[@ToddOutdoor]

have you done a video on your cell phone booster that your using?

[@Totally-trailer]

todd Baker not yet, but it's on our list to do! We talk about it a little more in our Valley of the Gods video.

[@ToddOutdoor]

ok thanks so much, I'll be looking forward for one. KZbin has so many but real life in the field speaks truth.

[@Totally-trailer]

todd Baker We will get on it!
