Making our way to the beach

Well, it turns out the Arroyo Colorado isn't really a gulch at all but rather a pretty substantial river. We stayed for 3 days at Hummingbird Cove RV park, a nice quiet place, once again "in the middle of nowhere", Texas.
They had docks on the river so we took the boat for a spin.

As you can see, this "gulch" won't be drying up any time soon. The water is brackish. It leads to the gulf, or actually, the bay between South Padre Island and the mainland.
It was about 10 miles from the park to the gulf and we made it about half way before turning back. We tried to explore several of the small channels running off the river and met bottom each time, only a few feet in.

Lots of big birds along the river.

The park was also only about an hour drive from South Padre Island. We checked out the RV campground just off the beach there. Not very appealing. More like a parking lot.

We also drove north into the park. They actually plow this road.

Looks a bit like home in February....or April, he, he.

It was a bit cool and windy. Tara had a riot running in the dunes.

Today we are in Mustang Island State Park near Corpus Christi. This is the place we had to re-schedule due to storm damage. Its all back to normal now and it's a great place.
The beach is spectacular and you can drive for miles on it.

Tara had a long walk on the beach.

Life is good, right Tara?.
