Home Until Christmas


Adventure Location: Del Rio to Rockport, Texas

It was a before sunrise start due to the OFM not sleeping well. We got to see the sun peeking over the horizon as we passed Brackettville.  For the day it was 345 miles. The plan had not been to roll so far in one day but the OFM just kept on driving.

The roads were free flowing all the way. The stop to pass through immigration was the only slowdown the whole way.  It is nice when the traveling goes smoothly.  The Teams rolled into Rockport for the rest of the year.  The sunshine greeted us and the redfish groaned in dismay.

Our campsite is a very good location with shade about half the day.  We also catch the SE breeze that usually flows across the Rockport peninsula. But the mosquitos also welcomed the Teams back to town.

The town has added at least one new attraction since we left last July for a very important event.  This new attraction is about ten feet off the ground and twelve feet across. It gets lots of use for pictures.

After the short night and the LONG drive, the OFM went to bed all tuckered out to dream about morning bringing a great day of trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.

    1. Thank you. The ankle seems to be healed but other foot trouble has begun to limit me. Probably the age of the paper my birth certificate is printed on is causing the troubles.

    1. I remember that trout very well. It must have weighed 14 pounds at least.
