Come along as I traverse the historic Chisholm Trail Byway as outlined in the app: OnX Offroad. This route uses various county roads and highways to vaguely follow the historic cattle drive route used by cattlemen during the late 1800s for moving cattle overland from Texas to Kansas. Filmed in January 2025 right before a historic weather event that brough snow as far south as the Louisiana and Florida gulf coast, the overnight temperatures were quite cold for this region of the United States, dropping as low as near 20 degrees Fahrenheit. This unusually cold weather along with the historic nature of the route, made for an unforgettable overlanding experience, deep in the heart of Texas!
