RV Texas: Hiked to Hamilton Pool, West Cave Preserve & Austin, TX | RV America | EP 33

I got one question. Who's winning? Carson. We've been in near Austin, dripping Springs, Texas for 17 days. And this is our first time that we've come to Austin. Now in our defense, it's rained a lot. In fact, it rained for a week solid. So that really just gave us an opportunity to get a lot of work done. But we're headed into Austin to go see my sister, Kathy and my niece, Christine and her son, Julian. And what we've decided to do, she works at the church. So we're gonna head down to the church and we're gonna check that out. And then we're gonna head around. We're gonna look at some sites in Austin. And then we're gonna head down to like South Congress area. And we're gonna find like a food truck or somewhere to get some great tacos. And then like walk around. And then Christine's gonna join us a little bit later. So that is the plan. Ooh, that was good. Y'all. Nail your son in the nose on the way down. Did you already see the Capitol? Thank you for a great evening here. Woo! Good job, guys. That's all, folks. Do you even know what we're doing? No clue. Do they have a Ferris wheel there? Carson's 13 today. And we got a great day planned. He knows nothing about it. So Carson, you like bowling, right? How about clowns? How do you feel about clowns? I hate them. Oh, uh-oh, that could be a problem. Does Chuck E. Cheese bring out the mouse every time you order a large pizza? Well, Carson just saw the laser tag. What did we do? I think we did an eight. He's not throwing around 10s. Carson and Caleb say we throw around 10s. I don't think we throw around 10s. I just think we've happened to do some ridiculously cool stuff on this trip. Every time you're passing a handgun to somebody, it should never be in a state like this. All right, it's the same thing with a rifle, meaning that the slide is forward, all the way forward. We don't know if there's one in the chamber. And we know that the magazine is inserted, so there could be bullets in the magazine. The first thing you would do, or I would do, or you would do, when you pass it to somebody is remove the source of ammunition first by pressing the button. All right, that's empty. There could still be one in the chamber, so the next step would be to make sure the chamber is empty. You can either do that by pulling back and looking at it, or the proper way to do it is to push that up, hold it up, pull back with your other hand until it reaches that groove here, and we lock it back. And then we can hand it on safe, just like that. You can grab it with your dominant hand or your right-handed. Yep, so always keep the gun in your right hand today. All right, we're gonna get that. See that little gap there we made? Get that dot right in the middle of that little gap. Top of here, nice and flush with the top there. Just put all three dots on there, all three. I think this one's Parson's. Yes! Hey! And this is Dad's? Yeah. I got them all right! Nice. It was on a piece of paper. The headshot really kind of gave away Dad's. Oh, nice. Yeah. Just getting snacks. Bordeaux's. In Buenos Aires, the street food is, you walk up to a thing, guy has a grill, he has a baguette and a sausage, butterflies it, puts it on the baguette after he throws it on the grill, chimichurri all over it. And that's like the most popular street food there. Show me, show me. This is like bite-sized version of that. Yeah? So we'll put sausage on here, and then a little chimichurri on there, and then. Let's see it. Trish and I have not had sugar since Halloween, which was about a month ago? No, two weeks before Halloween. Two weeks before Halloween? So if you are gonna have sugar, get away. If you are gonna have sugar, because Thanksgiving was off limits. Oh! Take advantage. Halloween was off limits. This is my prize for winning, becoming the ping pong champion. It would be really nice if that was true. Well, if you don't believe me, let me just show you some footage of Jeff playing. We moved Ginger to the front of the house in the street because Mitch and Wade and Rachel and Ryan and Connor have all come over. So we needed to clear some beds out. So Trish and me and Carson and Kayla were sleeping in Ginger, but man, Ginger's too far away from the house to have electrical. And the batteries in the RV are dead. We have propane, but without electrical, the thermostat won't run. It's gonna be a chilly night. It's gonna be a very chilly night. Dad, can you start up the car? We don't have any lights. Okay, I think this is all gonna be totally fine. What? No, can you start up the car? We don't have any lights. No, the car is in the driveway. I've made a really cozy bed for the boys. Where's Carson? He's playing ping pong, but he'll be in. Okay. I've made a really cozy bed for Carson and Caleb. I think they should snuggle together. Okay. And this is not gonna be that bad. No? No. Wait, am I on this side right here? Mom, mom, quickly, which side am I on? This side? Yeah, that's your side. Censored. Well, just keep it on. Keep that on. Wait, what flashlight is that? Your mom's. No, I brought it in. All right, this is the morning after Thanksgiving. Okay, it's 2.30 in the afternoon. We've had a bit of a slow morning, and we thought, what better way, the day after Thanksgiving, to go for a little hike, and we're headed to Hamilton Pools. Spectacular. It's kind of bummed that it's forecast, but just wait. It's awesome. It's time to pack up in Austin, and start making our way to Arizona, in which, today, we're gonna go to San Antonio. We're gonna do the river walk. We're gonna go see the Alamo. Then we're gonna go to Carlsbad Caverns. Then we're gonna stop into the White Sands of New Mexico before we head into Tucson and back into Scottsdale. You know, because we were parked way out here across the street, and we didn't have access to an electrical outlet, just to get the lights and stuff like that working, I had to wait to plug the truck up to Jinger to get the mechanism to go up and down. If we had solar, with a little inverter, small battery bank, we could be charging the laptops, we could be charging our cell phones, we would have the LED lights. Not sure we'd have a coffee maker, maybe, but nonetheless, that's something I'm gonna look into. I think that'd be a nice little upgrade. Gonna do one final walk around, as I always do. And you know why? To find stuff like that. Oh my gosh! Whoa! You're a group hug! Group hug! Yay! Whoa! I'm glad the computer's up. Yeah.
