As a kid, I got to see the headwaters of the Frio and Nueces rivers. You can't do that today. I knew the ranchers, they knew me, no problem. That was about 60yrs ago. The land has changed hands.
-
As a Native Texan I have been to many of these. Thank you for sharing and would love a part two with the Trinity and Sabine Rivers. Two other very important Texas rivers.
-
Wow! What an ambitious project. Unfortunate how few true sources are accessible but great effort. Thank you!
-
Enjoyed seeing you and your dad's adventure. I spent many years fishing and hunting with my father through a number of the areas you visited. My family began in Gonzales and continues today in San Antonio. Thank you for showing how great Texas is for fathers and sons. It would have put a smile on my dad's face, thank you for taking us along.

Wanted to see the headwaters of many of the rivers you visited. Thanks for the ridealong. Nice.
-
Like you I love maps and have spent many hours studying river sources. You essentially did what I've always wanted to do with this video. Good job..bet you and your dad had a great time. Thanks for this very entertaining and informative video. Cheers Joey Warren

I love hydrology too! Totally fascinated with finding headwaters!

Heb Foundation Camp is a beautiful place. Keep up the good work.

I enjoyed watching this video. In 2018, I took a road trip in which I followed the Red River from where I-44 crosses it all of the way upstream to Palo Duro Canyon State Park. I explored the Park and visited both Amarillo and Lubbock as well as driving on I-27 all of the way from its north end to its south end. This was the first time in my life that I have visited Palo Duro Canyon State park as well as Amarillo and Lubbock.

Great adventure with your dad. Thanks for posting.

San Marcos represent! I’ve been here for 4 years and it’s the most beautiful river in the world. I love it. I’ve lived on it and walked to it nearly every since I lived here
-
I have always been fascinated by the headwaters and enjoyed this. My family is blessed to have part of the headwaters of the west prong of the frio river. If you want to come check it out let me know. We have a campsite right on the springs and its amazing. Have a good one!
-
Awesome road trip idea! I too love charting the waterways, their sources and courses. Watersheds and geological divisions have always fascinated me. Thanks for sharing!
-
Great tour. I grew up in New Mexico (West of the Great Divide) but spent many years in Oklahoma and Colorado (East of the Divide), moved to College Station three years ago this June after retiring to be closer to my Son. Your tour brought some good memories and had been thinking about exploring the Brazos River basin before too long. As for now, glad to be here among all the Aggie fans and now 'I Stand with Texas'.
-
Love this. I have always been intrigued by where rivers begin. I trace them on google maps. I’d love to make this trip too. And after the TX rivers, I want to see the big boys, Miss., Arkansas, etc. I got pretty close to the head waters of the Colorado in the Rockies. So cool.

Hey Goode Life, I think the guitar music is an enjoyable soundtrack! Thanks for sharing these spots on our Texas rivers.🍦
-
SO thankful you made this video!! I have Always wanted to see the Origins of the Rivers in Texas!! 🙏🙏🙏💯
-
I may have misunderstood your intent - but the Brazos starts in New Mexico and the Prairie Dog Town Fork (Red River headwaters) starts in Oklahoma. Maybe you were getting as close as you could, and I just missed that point. Cool video, though.
-
Thanks for sharing your journey. I love our river systems, and it is neat to see where they all start. Rockport is nice too.
