Looks like reasonable water flow at James River.

Thanks for that Rex. Are you able to translate that to practical info? How deep might it be with those numbers?

The flow rate is pretty normal for non rainy periods. I’ve seen it go 5x that after thunderstorms. The depth at our crossing doesn’t change much. So Toyota Corolla driveable.

The gauge is about a mile from the crossing, where the river is narrow and deep.

We are meeting at 8am in San Gabriel Park. Leaving at 9am. Just snax/drinks and something to take lots of pics with. We will be fueling up at HEB in Marble Falls before hitting the trail, so you can also grab something there.

On the way. ETA, day late and a dollar short.

Taco camper checking in, just got home. We had a blast with you all, thanks again for putting this together.

I should be able to post a link to the unedited drone footage later this evening.

Checking the front/rear cams now. Don't think I caught the bobcat, but still some good views.

Let's see if this works. This is all 100% un-edited, raw off my drone. I did rename a couple files to try & make it easier to find your rig. Let me know if you have any questions or problems!

Link to my Google Drive Photos

All I ask is that if you're going to use the footage on YouTube or similar, please comment here or message me with the link, and credit me.

Can anyone familiar with this route help me with a question? I'm wondering where along the Texas Hill Country overland route is OK for overnight camping? I hear there is a lot of private land and not sure where to camp...
