I've just finished pulling the clips together and waiting on my computer to export the file. It's done about 0.3% in 5 minutes so.... Maybe this evening I can upload to YouTube? 🤷

Appreciate the videos! Since I've never been there, it was fun to vicariously travel the Texas Hill Country through your videos.

Question: Though the river was swollen, it appears the road wasn't closed until after you arrived there. Guestimating the crossing and flow rate, it looks like it's always flooded but unusually high at this point. What's the depth under "normal" conditions?

Other videos make it look like it ranges from 6 - 12" with a fairly slow flow rate. They had gotten a bit of rain the night before and we had just gotten there ahead of TX DOT who closed the road after we turned around.

Then after the Llano River which we could not cross, because of the detour was the James River, would have been an exciting crossing as it is about 50 to 75 yards across about 6 to 15 inches deep. Next time for sure!

Just waiting on @modified to add crocks to the forum swag store.
 

Here's a short video showing the trail run from my view, about middle of the pack. I really appreciated everyone coming out to enjoy some BBQ and an awesome Saturday afternoon drive through Hill Country. It was great to see so many familiar and new faces at this meetup!

Thanks again to @Lunch Box for setting it all up, @DTX2023Tremor for guiding the ride, and @legmar for keeping an eye on stragglers. Looking forward to the next one! (y)

I want everyone to know @@modified did all of this alone, only him in his truck. Many kudos 👏 I don't have any idea how he pulled thus off.

One hand on the wheel, one hand holding the GoPro out of the sunroof. 😂 Next time I'll have something like this mounted outside:

Finally got the front dash cam video pulled together. It comes off the dash cam in 1 minute video files. Only takes a few minutes to pull it together in the video editing software, but then it took 6 hours for my computer to combine the files, another 6 hours to upload to YouTube and then 9 hours for them to render the footage (likely because this is set to 4K). Had to do the last steps twice because the first time I didn't have a "verified" account. All that to say, this is 4 hours and 14 minutes of video. Be sure to adjust your settings in YouTube to the max playback resolution (as I think it will default to 720p) to get the best experience.

I didn't include an audio track, so put on your favorite driving music and re-live the drive.

Notable points in the video:
0:12:00 - the raging Llano River
0:49:45 - bridge crossing over the Llano River
0:59:30 - Transition to unpaved roads
1:18:30 - Start of the drive through Star S Ranch (exotic game)
1:22:30 - Drive by a Blesbok (on the left)
1:24:50 - Ostrich enclosure (on the left)
1:42:00 - water crossing
1:55:20 - water crossing
2:28:15 - water crossing
2:46:10 - water crossing
2:55:00 - I feel the need for speed!!
3:04:30 - Oh deer! so many deer.
3:16:50 - water crossing
3:19:45 - road closed signs are for suckers
3:20:00 - water crossing (best one)
3:21:00 - unintentional off-roading (missed the turn)
3:34:00 - back on paved roads

Note that most of the identified "water crossings" are fording raging rivers that ranged from tread depth up to the bottom of the rims. Skill level required was a 10 out of 10 to do this safely.

I'll post the rear dashcam video this weekend.
