We did it. We pried ourselves loose from the beach. Northwest for a hundred fifty miles to San Antonio. A little north from there to New Braunfels. Got here early enough to go check out Landa Park. We heard a rumor there were wood ducks there. We like wood ducks a lot. Tomorrow morning, Ironhorse RV to have some seats installed.

Today’s entertainment, a drive down the beach by the jetty. It has been windy the last couple days while the cold front passed through. When the wind blows like that, we get some good sand drifts that build up by the dunes. It’s not okay to drive in the dunes, but if some sand drifts out over the part of the beach you normally drive on, you get to do whatever you want. A sedan and minivan had already accidentally found the deep sand and were not having any fun at all, so we got to use the tow strap and drag them out. We always carry a tow strap and shovel, in case someone needs help (including us). A big tanker passed, dolphins playing in the bow wake, while we were parked watching the channel. It looks like most tankers pull into the port of Corpus Christi loaded and leave empty.

Life on the road
Lost Maples State Park in the Texas Hill Country. It is a wonderful place. An isolated stand of bigtooth maples in steep rugged limestone canyons. Well separated wide-open grassy RV parking. Streams, ponds, hiking trails, forest, birds… It is a wonderful place to be…… and we’re not there. We checked the weather forecast. There is an arctic air mass falling down from the north. It’s below freezing there at night. We don’t want to be below freezing. We stayed on the beach. The front will pass here too, but we’ll have the moderating influence of the water. It will stay twenty degrees warmer. We’ll have to leave by Sunday. We have an appointment Monday morning at an RV shop in San Antonio to get our chairs upgraded. Don’t want to miss that.
