Traveling The Texas Perimeter (Texas Country Reporter)

[@opendstudio7141]

Nice story. A simple remider of what we really love about Texas; a state of mind that revolves around neighborly people who laugh, play and work hard in a hostile diverse land.

[@diannbayes8620]

Thanks. We had a wonderful time and laughing was definitely a highlight.

[@juliocanedo2077]

I absolutely love My Texas!!! Thank God i was born here

[@diannbayes8620]

Amen. It was part of the reason I planned the trip.

[@paultanner2007]

I was born and raised in Texas and I’m truly proud of it! No place like Texas!

[@vgarza1972]

I've always wanted to do this and pray I still may get to, idk about u but I choked up when Bob asked that question as well. Folks pray for The Great State of Texas our President & Melania give thanks to the Lord our God for all we've been blessed with!!! God bless TCR!!!

[@diannbayes8620]

I wasn’t prepared for my reaction when he asked me. Love my State!

[@vgarza1972]

@@diannbayes8620 is there any way u can tell me what kinda gadget the other lady was using to hold her phone and to film with??

[@tjlarson9859]

I hope they decide to put their trip up on KZbin! That's the only place I would be able to watch it.

[@mariaconway405]

I love Texas *sings* the eyes of Texas are upon you all the live lond day 😊

[@cameraman655]

I have traveled 205 of the 254 countries in this great state. I have been planning a ”parimeter” trip to Texas for several years now, great going ladies...

[@diannbayes8620]

Thanks.

[@needleworknut7792]

Texas. . . . .Home. Always has been and always will be. Pat-South Padre Island

[@diannbayes8620]

That was one of our favorite stops. Fresh seafood and amazing sunrises and sunsets. Can’t beat it!

[@matthealy6607]

Wow! What an awesome adventure. Lots of miles to cover, and you're always in Texas!!!

[@kerryevans7413]

I was born and raised in TEXAS. I have driven a semi truck for 23yrs so far and I have driven the perimeter of TEXAS. But not in a single trip. I have been in every state in the country. And TEXAS is the one I love the most.

[@michaelfitzgerald434]

Good upon you, Ladies!

[@jimmacmurdo355]

One of the best episode of all time. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I wasn't born in Texas but surely wish I had been.

[@diannbayes8620]

Thanks so much. I’m so happy you liked our story. Texas is a wonderful state.

[@bobphillips8732]

What a great story Diann and company. You all capture how wonderful it is to Travel Texas. And from the original Bob Phillips to my good friend, the other Bob Phillips, thanks for sharing their story!

[@diannbayes8620]

Thanks, Bob. It was so much fun!

[@CesarMartinez-kn2yy]

Mis más sinceras felicitaciones para estas tres señoras, maravilloso paseó, saludos cordiales desde Esmeraldas-Ecuador, soy un gran admirador del estado de Texas 👍👏🤠

[@mckinneyconventionvisitors7044]

We love this so much! So proud of you, Diann! And Congratulations!

[@howbigistexas]

Thanks, McKinney friends!

[@stevethecountrycook1227]

Hoping ya'll don't loose the state you love from interlopers! Don't let them change your State!!

[@mishawakapost2681]

It's only 988.7 miles from where I'm at in northern Indiana to Gainesville, Texas.

[@robertjenkins9747]

I was born in and raised in Houston, But left when my mom came back to her home state of Hawaii and we had no choice. You go where mom goes as a child. Never been back. I lost out on being raised in Texas.

[@robertjenkins9747]

@Ragnar Lothbrok if it ain't fried. I ain't eating it. Still love a steak. Wife always ask why I like steak so much.

[@DSBac]

Me and friend discussed doing this back when I was in college 20 years ago and never got to do it. Really glad for them that they did!

[@YeshuaDisciple916]

It's not too late, sir. I'm considering doing it, soon. I'm sure there's a lot to be discovered.

[@diannbayes8620]

Please consider it. We had a great time and were happy to share our trip.

[@DSBac]

Diann Bayes oh, for sure, I’ve thought about it over the years and hopefully can make it happen one day. I know it’d be a blast. Just need to find a week or so in my schedule to line up with a traveling companion. 🙂

[@senora_scott]

Diann is the best!! We (San Angelo) love her!

[@Breakthroughmasonry]

Great to see a San Angelo native doing something awesome!

[@diannbayes8620]

Thanks. There are a lot of folks doing awesome things in San Angelo, I just got lucky and they got it on tape.

[@Breakthroughmasonry]

@@diannbayes8620 yes they're are. Great video I will be sure to follow How big is Texas on Facebook 👍

[@georgiablair8399]

This is awesome! I am very proud of being a Texan!

[@Shellyweasley]

The best place to be. I LOVE TEXAS❣️

[@GoTeamAtkins]

As a native Texan living in Georgia for the past 3 years, this makes me VERY nostalgic and longing for home...

[@howbigistexas]

🥰

[@GoTeamAtkins]

@@howbigistexas we moved back to Texas!!!!

[@howbigistexas]

@@GoTeamAtkins Welcome home!

[@joemathews8115]

Would be awesome to do this!

[@diannbayes8620]

We had a great time! I highly recommend it.

[@RejuvenateYourHealth]

Inspiring! This trip is on my bucket list because even though I've lived here all my life, I've probably only seen a very small portion of it. We aren't Southern and we aren't Western, we are TEXAN!

[@howbigistexas]

Amen to that. I hope you make the trip.

[@joehammond2586]

I am so jealous!

[@AS-oj3cw]

One of my favorites

[@bwproctor]

I was born in Texas. Due to family situations, I spent 6 years of my childhood out of the state. Moved back and graduated. Joined the military and left, been gone 23 years. Due to choices the wife and I made, we won’t be moving back anytime soon BUT, I am a Texan and will always been a Texan!

[@howbigistexas]

It’s always in us no matter where we live.

[@Libby4864]

I would love to do this!! Texas is my state and there is so much to see!! Would love to see it all!!❤

[@howbigistexas]

I hope you can.

[@janetholloway4972]

This is awesome!! I'm a home grown Texan! I wouldn't live in any other state!!

[@dottiebest8369]

AWESOME! I would Love To do that trip!! GREAT JOB LADIES!!! ❤️🍃🌼🙏

[@howbigistexas]

You should!

[@mindyreid5229]

How cool is this what a fantastic adventure

[@howbigistexas]

It was awesome!

[@rkmatt8761]

Very interesting. I might just have to be a copy cat. Looks very interesting and fun

[@GonzalezYl777]

Bucket list must!!! 🥰

[@howbigistexas]

Yes!!!

[@GerardoMartinez-sb3is]

I can recognize the Farwell city park any day of the week

[@howbigistexas]

The kite birds were there when we filmed. They were swooping down on us. 😂

[@josephrobichaud5198]

There biggest mistake, trying to make that great trip in that amount of time so they could just say they had done it. I'm sure they missed out on so much of the real Texas and meet more people.

[@diannbayes8620]

We were limited on our time since we all work. I plan to spend more time in some of the locations I hadn’t visited. I’ve been to most of the places we went through prior to the trip. Who knows? My blog tells more of the story - www.howbigistexas.com

[@josephrobichaud5198]

Having a real job sucks. :) I also follow Traveling Robert that does lot's of of great videos of off the beaten path places, but it drives me nuts when almost every time he finds an interesting place he says, I'll have to come back some time and check it out .

[@homerbalderas1393]

Greetings from Eagle Pass!!!

[@howbigistexas]

Eagle Pass is beautiful!

[@craftyclarke2514]

Its a shame they only took 9 days.

[@diannbayes8620]

It’s all we could since we all work.

[@craftyclarke2514]

Diann Bayes makes sense. What would be the optimal time, if days off were not an issue? I realize this could be an unending answer; there has to be a balance between rushed and too much time. Looks like it was a great adventure :).

[@diannbayes8620]

@@craftyclarke2514 I really think you could take a full two weeks and see a significant amount.

[@Try2KeepUpK]

I wish this had more of a documentary feel versus a reporter trying to make a clip for the news.

[@magnificentone4686]

Makes me want to do this in Louisiana

[@jackhill436]

Just went buy a DMV it’s in Webster Tx I believe and they have the Texas flag upside down it’s on hwy 3 next to Ellington Air Force base

[@tracyhawley8829]

My home is Texas

[@punktexas]

There is video series on KZbin of a group doing this but much closer to the Texas border. Many of the roads they took were unpaved and at times on private land ( with owners premission). I'm still waiting on someone to film all the Texas court houses road trip series. I'm picky. It needs to be one long continuous road trip. Not broken into to segments. Once they start there's no stopping. Am I asking for too much?

[@diannbayes8620]

I’m thinking you would be a great person to do it. 😄

[@googleuser8660]

May I ask who was that?

[@punktexas]

@@diannbayes8620 Working on it. The goal would be the most outer route possible on public roads, trails etc. When the entire route is finalized make it public.

[@punktexas]

@@googleuser8660 I can't remember the channel name but I think it was in seven parts. Search KZbin and post link here. I'd like to watch it again. PS it was very overland (4X4) style.

[@punktexas]

@@diannbayes8620 I really enjoyed what you guys did. Thanks for taking us along.

[@brianstokes8458]

i want to do this

[@eloyrodriguez3362]

Great Adventure. Too rushed though

[@DaBellyMan318]

Now go cover Alaska

[@howbigistexas]

Unfortunately, you can’t actually drive the perimeter of Alaska. Plus, this is about Texas and not Alaska. I hope someone from Alaska decided to drive their state. I’d watch that. 😀

[@donkeyballs3307]

3100 miles , Texas isn't very big, I'm from Canada,& compared to a Canadian province , like alberta or British Columbia, Texas is tiny, just sayin

[@JudyJudyJudy44]

Feel bigger and better now buddy? Geez.....

[@jcraigshelton]

But nobody gives a sack of cat turds if someone drives the perimeter of Alberta, eh?
