corridor of
0:31

0:35
horns and look at this guy

1:10
mind who knows looks like I got the
1:12
whole road to
1:14
myself I'm not complaining just just
1:17
stating a fact it's just me it's just me
1:21
right now on this road are you guys up
1:24
too e having a little
1:27
breakfast gross stopped off here at the
1:29
the very very tiny community of
1:33
Luckenbach the cemetery only has four
1:36
Graves look at the dates on the ones in
1:38
the back born in
1:40
1822 died in 1880 it is said that one of
1:44
the original residents of town
1:45
constructed an airplane like device
1:48
predating the right Brothers but they
1:50
stole my idea and got all the credit who
1:53
knows if that's true or not the town
1:54
originally started to diminish and
1:57
became a ghost town but current day it
1:59
is used as a predominantly country venue
2:03
and remember no biobs keep those biobs
2:07
out of here members of the Luckenbach
2:09
family and other German immigrants moved
2:11
here from Fredericksburg in the 1850s 11
2:14
mil away they settled along Grape Creek
2:17
and soon established a school for their
2:25
children and there's chickens out
2:25
here and the original post office still
2:28
sitting here
2:30
there appears to be a statue of the one
2:33
and only
2:35
Hondo Al Bundy he love that guy hello
2:44
there I'm getting flashbacks of that
2:44
crazy
2:45
Goose I'm just going to stand still I'm
2:48
just going to stand still pay no
2:50
attention to me pay no attention to me
2:52
please I'm going inside keep your
2:56
distance there's Hondo's Hooch holder
3:00
I don't think that's the hooch holder I
3:02
think that's the hooch holder a very
3:06
good assortment of bumper stickers some
3:08
relics of the past behind the counter
3:10
look at some of those products they
3:12
don't even make half of these anymore
3:15
pretty neat little gift shop and over
3:17
here is the original fire burning stove
3:20
you continue to the rear of the building
3:23
there's a bar outb all along the walls
3:25
are pictures
3:27
of people who have visited did here over
3:31
the
3:32
years currently people are hanging out
3:35
in here just enjoying the
3:38
day that's the way to do it just
3:42
relax just relax and enjoy the
3:45
day could learn learn a thing or two
3:49
from this cat I would imagine many a
3:52
good time have been had back here in
3:56
this area maybe even as recently as last
3:59
night there's a bunch of tents and
4:01
campers on the property this armadillo
4:04
is thinking to himself I don't know how
4:06
to play this stupid thing why did you
4:08
hand it to me I have no idea how to play
4:10
a musical instrument I like the way they
4:12
have repurposed all these old
4:16
buildings keeping them
4:19
going starting to get into a little
4:22
little bit of a hilly country randomly
4:24
turned onto this back road and look over
4:27
here to the left sign that says weener
4:31
dog
4:32
heaven I'm thinking maybe back there
4:34
where those trees have grown up used to
4:36
be a pet
4:39
cemetery that's the best
4:42
explanation I can come up with this is
4:45
the site of the original
4:48
Luckenbach school this is where all the
4:51
kids would do their
4:54
learning right here Herman toer wine was
4:58
the first teacher in 1905 there's also
5:01
this very rundown building next to it
5:03
and some
5:04
stables in the back it's always
5:07
fascinating that one day you could be in
5:09
the midst the
5:12
mecca of traffic and
5:15
people and then a few hours
5:17
later you're in the middle of nowhere no
5:20
one around not even sharing the road
5:23
with
5:27
anyone just just something to think
5:28
about this metal
5:30
Longhorn just chilling there is that a
5:32
longhorn or is that like a a demon
5:36
mule demon mule demon mule a a freaking
5:42
a right boys freaking a right boys we're
5:44
heading into the LBJ State Park
5:47
president Lyndon Baines Johnson says all
5:51
visitors must obtain a permit at the
5:55
headquarters I'm not really sure why you
5:56
need a permit it doesn't cost anything I
5:59
think it's just just so they can give
6:00
you some information and guide maps of
6:02
the property but nonetheless I have
6:04
obtained one in order to get across this
6:06
River at one point there was this very
6:11
bizarre
6:13
pathway that lynon Johnson had created
6:16
where he could drive
6:18
across here's him and Lady Bird Johnson
6:21
the first
6:22
lady I don't know what happened to this
6:25
area I'm not seeing that very
6:28
interesting Bridge
6:30
but man that's cool I want to cross over
6:32
that en Large Marge how come that still
6:35
doesn't exist I think I found it this is
6:38
freaking amazing there is a road created
6:42
with the intention of driving across a
6:47
waterfall it's not in use anymore you
6:49
can't drive across
6:51
it but
6:54
that I want that one day one day if I if
6:59
I ever have a home again I want that
7:02
that's awesome I know I'm getting overly
7:04
excited about that but mindblowing
7:07
what's up fellas did you see back there
7:10
that there is a waterfall that you can
7:12
drive a car well you can't drive a car
7:15
but you could walk or Stampede across
7:18
get a great photo
7:20
op yeah not not interested huh gosh
7:24
Party Poopers he spent a huge portion of
7:27
his life on this property from birth and
7:31
he even learned to read in that school
7:33
at the top of the hill the 36th
7:35
president of the United
7:37
States was born in that house over time
7:39
the house fell into major disrepair even
7:43
when he was alive he had it repurposed
7:45
and restructured to give it the look as
7:48
it did back when he was born that was
7:50
the day Lyon Bain Johnson discovered
7:53
America before the former first lady
7:56
passed away she gave a narration a tour
7:59
and I just realized by listening to that
8:01
that the original house was torn down
8:03
because it was so decrepit and they
8:05
built this one in its place and another
8:08
interesting fact is right across the way
8:11
here over this
8:13
hill is where her and her husband are
8:17
buried the original Cemetery in this
8:19
area is across the river there when one
8:20
of the first members of the Johnson
8:22
family passed away they could not get
8:24
across the water due to flooding so they
8:26
were buried here across the water thus
8:28
starting the son Family Cemetery many
8:31
generations were buried here in fact him
8:33
and ladybird would come out here with
8:34
the children very often to pay their
8:36
respects to the family and is even said
8:38
sometimes late at night he could be seen
8:40
sitting on these walls under these trees
8:43
doing a little contemplating and a
8:44
little thinking I even found an old
8:46
photo where the family was sitting right
8:48
here on top of the wall next to this
8:51
pillar while visiting the
8:54
cemetery that's incredible that is the
8:57
spot of presidency and only a few feet
9:01
from where that photo was taken is where
9:04
his final resting place is in the same
9:07
cemeter a flag has been placed in front
9:09
of his headstone and to the left of him
9:12
is his wife she lived till 2007 a very
9:15
long life he passed away in
9:18
1973 this is the backside the far end of
9:21
the property just so you can get kind of
9:24
a perspective on how big the ranch was
9:28
the tree line off in the distance that's
9:31
the river and the cemetery I was just at
9:33
you'll notice just along that grass
9:36
there is a paved area that is a Runway
9:41
it's where the presidential plane would
9:43
land and take off from and the property
9:45
is still used to this day as a ranch
9:49
they're just Roman free Roman free you
9:53
guys are now currently in the Vlog you
9:56
want to give a shout out to
9:57
anyone you want to give a shout out to
10:00
anyone in the
10:01
Vlog anybody you want to give a shout
10:04
out this building that is now The
10:06
Visitor Center used to be the airplane
10:08
hanger here's an old
10:11
photo of the president in front of that
10:14
same building and speaking of
10:21
airplanes there's his personal one right
10:21
there on board he's holding his beagle
10:24
the Beagle looks either very bored he's
10:27
trying to say this guy look up here very
10:29
surprised at what the Beagle is saying
10:32
it was known as the Air Force
10:35
1/2 get it Air Force 1/2 and I'm not
10:38
making that up either that's what it was
10:40
really called it looks as
10:42
if I'm allowed to go
10:49
inside kind of there's a GL there's a
10:49
wall here you can kind of go inside but
10:52
you can get a good shot through the
10:54
glass imagine being a fly on the
10:57
wall during the administration
11:01
oh the things you would
11:11
learn inside this room are some of the
11:11
automobiles that were used on
11:14
property these were his
11:22
cars oh check it out this is the one in
11:23
the photo of him driving in front of the
11:27
waterfall now that's
11:30
cool I don't know what my infatuation is
11:32
with that waterfall but I love it they
11:34
would gas up at these very fuel pumps
11:37
they call this the Texas White House
11:40
between Washington DC and here a lot of
11:42
the important presidential decisions
11:45
were made some in front of these oak
11:48
trees in the front yard true
12:00
story the shade of the tree in front of
12:00
you often served as a makeshift meeting
12:02
room for Johnson's
12:05
cabinet right there they just put a
12:08
table up and some chairs and lounged Out
12:12
Underneath the shade the president
12:13
shouted the brakes don't work the brakes
12:15
won't hold we're going in we're going
12:18
under the car splashed into the water I
12:21
started to get out just then the car
12:23
leveled and I realized we were in an an
12:26
car the president roared with laughter
12:29
as we put it along the lake then and
12:31
throughout that evening he teased me viy
12:34
did you see what Joe did he said he
12:36
didn't give a damn about his president
12:38
he just wanted to save his own skin and
12:40
get out of the car I'm pretty certain
12:42
the runway isn't used anymore not since
12:46
Air Force 1 half it's a pretty narrow
12:48
road another car was coming my
12:52
direction might be tough to squeeze both
12:57
vehicles on this
13:00
road crossing my fingers if that doesn't
13:04
