Ready for tonight’s game.
Port Aransas
We saw those awful pictures of what a mess the beach was a few weeks ago. We though we were going to have to head there with our trash sack. Well, that’s all changed. It’s like magic. The beach is as clean as we left it last spring. Work has begun on the boardwalk repair.
Gulf Waters
The park is in great shape. Not many people here. That’s us across the pond in the second picture.
Port Aransas
Half a US Highway day today. We headed south for South Llano River State Park. Buffalo Gap, Tuscola, Winters, Ballinger, Paint Rock, Eden, Menard, Junction. Highway 83 all the way. We thought we’d be done about then, but we had good momentum, so we kept going and drove some Interstates. We turned left on Interstate 10 to head for Choke Canyon State Park. Segovia, Kerrville, Comfort, Boerne. We threaded our way through San Antonio and popped out on Interstate 37. South to Three Rivers and the state park, but by the time we got to Three Rivers, we were only an hour and a half from the beach. Another night at the forest or on to the beach? We chose the beach. Gulf Waters RV Resort. Mustang Island. Five miles south of Port Aransas. We’re home to our winter home, and it’s not even winter here yet. 82 degrees, blue skies, and a light breeze. Late tonight, it’s cooled all the way down to 77.
Abilene State Park
A US Highway day. No freeways. Southeast on US 287. Amarillo, Goodnight, Memphis. South on US 83 at Childress. Paducah, Guthrie and Hamlin. Though Abilene. Now we’re on the eastern half of the Texas map. Across Interstate 20, through Buffalo Gap, to Abilene State Park. Nice place. Not too birdy, but we haven’t been any place birdy lately. It must be that late September early October aren’t very birdy times in Texas. Tomorrow. Souther.
