 Good morning from Target Marathon. That's Target. We're close to a place called Marathon, which is over by Martha, Martha, not Martha. And today we're gonna head down to Big Ben. We got to mention, last night, we were parked here about 9 p.m., we stayed here overnight, and this really nice local sheriff guy came up, just pulled over and was like, hey, what are y'all doing? And I was like, hey man, he's just editing videos. Long story short, he asked if we were gonna stay here overnight and I said yes, unless he suggested some other place and he said, well, go for it. So, thanks dude. That was the first time anyone's ever questioned me about staying some more overnight on the side of the road, like this. And got a report back, it was rather painless. I got nothing to hide. I got nothing illegal in the bus. Really, there's no reason that I couldn't be here. So, yeah. They're gonna be on the right. Just spotted this animal called the javelina, which looks like a pig. And yeah, so, Claire, have you ever seen a javelina before? In a zoo. Okay, perfect. So, we're gonna try and get a shot of these little piggies. I think they're actually related to rodents, I was told, so yeah, pretty interesting. Is a baseball player, softball player. So, watch your arm. Damn. All right, this is something that we were thinking about seeing last night. But it got kind of dark if you saw yesterday's video because of the drone. This is called the chicken house. And there's chickens on top. This is just a little building on the, really just the other side of the railroad tracks. Just to point out, this is the entire city or town. There's a hotel over there with a white buffalo head. This is the main drag on the other side of the railroad tracks, really close. And it's just right on the side of the road here. And this is another find from the Roadside America app here. And was this one in Atlas Obscura also? Maybe. Anyways, those are my sights for finding interesting things. But clearly, somebody had a little fun with this one. There's all kinds of like little- Another side says, haters gonna hate. Haters gonna hate, yeah, I saw that. Anyways, trigger warning, your misspelled in West Texas. But yeah, it looks like some chickens. I don't know, interesting little thing. And of course, looks like little butcher up top. But yeah, this is kind of cool. I don't think I would ever want to live in West Texas, but I feel like if you had some creativity, if you were an artist or just an eccentric person, this is the kind of place just like a Joshua tree or somewhere far away from a big city, you could come buy a piece of cheap land and do some weird wacky stuff and have your own roadside attraction. He also would just turn around because Claire thinks she saw a giant deer, which I believe she did. So we're gonna try and spot this little sucker somewhere. Oh, there he is, yeah. Yeah, look at that. Is that called a whitetail, cause it's got a white butt? Yeah. Look at that pretty little deer right there. I don't know if you guys can see this. It's huge. It is, oh, the bush, there we go, right there. Look at all those, oh, hey buddy. Oh, he's so cute. He's probably gonna let off. Well, that's a nice looking deer right there. Sort of the deer are bigger out here than where I live. Yeah? Yeah. Well, maybe because they're less hunters. Probably. That's kind of how it works. Wow, beautiful, beautiful deer. There you go. Oh, see you buddy. Guys, I'm legal for one more year. Also, we got Nick with the black pearls back. What's up? What's up, Nick? Good to see you, man. Likewise. If you guys remember when I was up by Yellowstone, Jellystone, me and Jamie met Nick randomly. Kind of camped out there. So we just met up today here at the Visitor Center where there's absolutely no service whatsoever. And it looks like I'm gonna jump on his overnight pass so the street continues a year and a half and I've never paid for an overnight place to park day of the adventure bus. Also, one of my favorite things to do when I go into a Visitor Center is to get postcards. One of the reasons is because they're incredibly cheap and they're a great little souvenir. 40 cents a pop. So, I will be picking five people who comment in the video to win the postcards and then I'll send them to you. Trefied wood. By the way, we stopped over here at the Fossil Discovery exhibit. I think we're gonna head up there afterwards and check out the view. I don't know, possibly other fossils. I don't know, fossils are cool. Clear as an archeologist, so everybody's happy. That looks like a massive, massive alligator. Wouldn't wanna be, wouldn't wanna bump into one of these. They prehistoric swamp out here, big man. Oh my God. But look at how big this guy is here. Man, look at that. I'd probably be like a little appetizer for these things. Claire, what is on the ceiling? Oh, it's a real clarodactyl. Well, I should say it's a replica because the real clarodactyl's right here. This strange dog-looking thing is the ancestor of all horses on planet Earth. We were just commenting about how nice the weather is out here. It's probably, I don't know, 70 degrees. A little on the windy side, as you can tell. And not too sunny. But look at this incredible view, right next to the Fossil exhibit. Yeah. In the middle of freaking nowhere, there couldn't be a smaller little campsite than here where we have number five. So thank you, Mr. Information Ranger Guy, for putting us in the smallest space with the largest vehicles. We could barely squeeze in here, pass those bushes. Seriously. Yo, what do you think about this spot, man? I can't believe we made it out here. This is pretty snug, huh? I mean, this is by far the smallest, coziest little spot of this whole thing. Even number four was big. The other ones were gigantic. I could barely squeeze down this. But at least we're here. I feel like we should have parked back at that trailhead, too. Yeah, we're gonna have to drive back there. Is that where the- That's where that thing is way up there. Unless we just wanna relax and just take it easy. We're gonna go for a little hike. I'm gonna ride inside a Winnebago Travago for the first time. We got Captain Nick and got my co-pilot over here. Great vine trails. We got the hiking squad here, the van life squad. We're gonna go check out something called a balanced rock somewhere, straight ahead over there. Interesting this rock is all these different formations. It's like a bunch of swirls. And actually the in-between bits of the rock right here is some kind of crystal that was formed when the water seeped through the cracks of the rock and the minerals turned into crystals. Well, we made it to the balanced rock. However, from this angle, don't you think it looks like something else? If you do, make sure to comment below. Check out all these interesting, super cool layers of rocks. It looks like layers of tortillas or blankets or something. The ground is just like that too. Here is the, here's a rock. What's it called again? Balanced rock. It's just balanced right between these two little things. It's a pretty massive rock too. Well, like a balanced boulder. Descent, really it's not that far, but Claire and Nick pointed out the fact that this rock looks like a marble coffee cake and it's quite dramatic. This is space number four. Just right over there, I think you can see the top of my bus. That's spot number five. There's nobody out here. We're just gonna come into your space number four because it's just, it has a better view. It's a little bit bigger. Plus it might rain tonight. Claire just pointed out some spring or some tank or something. We don't know really what this is, but this was definitely built to hold water at some point. Oh my hair. Oh, what you got there? What's going on in your, is that new hairdo? Please help. What's up? What's going on? I look good. It was like chopsticks. There we go. This is much better. Don't you agree? Nice and flat. Nice view of Big Bend National Park. There is gonna be no sunset tonight or beautiful stars in the sky because we got a little rain coming and there's a possibility that it makes it a little bit more tricky to get out of here tomorrow, but only time will tell. We got something special tonight. We got some bratwurst, barkwurst, I forget which one, but as you know, I mostly eat vegetables in the bus. That was because of price and it's so easy and healthy and but tonight we're splurging. Nick brought over some spicy mustard and some pickles and we're all just kind of hanging out right here in the middle of Big Bend. Nick's got the black pearl travato that's his handle. He's got his LEDs on and we're just winded down, so thank you guys for watching. If you guys haven't already, please consider subscribing.
