Crooked Trees

 

ADVENTURE LOCATION:

ROCKPORT, TEXAS

NOVEMBER 26, 2024

After a bit of thinking about it we decided to show off the Rockport city park and some of its great features in tonight's blog entry. The OFM is not up to walking three miles yet but we messed around in the park for a couple of miles in the early day. Some of his leg and hip joints are a being grouchy but we will work it out of them.

This is where we and most folks normally start the walking trail right by one of the rest rooms and drinking fountain. There is another set of facilities at roughly the halfway point of the 1.5 mile loop inside the park. Here is the start of the trail.

Just a few feet along the trail is a large kids play area with all sorts of stuff for kidding around with lots of gleeful noise.

The OFM finds all the highly twisted and mangled and tortured tree limbs and trunks interesting to see. This is a hurricane comes inland area around here fairly too frequently but it does leave a lot of decorative oak trees to view. The leaves growing and falling off can cause the tree to look a lot different depending on the leaf patterns and colors.

The whole trail is 1.5 miles around the outside loop and paved with asphalt. Several cut across trails also let you choose to make the walking distance be whatever you choose. We really enjoy it there for walking.

Naturally if you get in some good walking your appetite will appreciate good food later.

Tonight we had flour tortillas with BBQ sauce drizzled on them. Then several pieces of thin sliced chicken meat laid on them. And finally chopped romaine lettuce, carrots and red cabbage added. Roll the tortilla and really enjoy with good root beer. Yummy yummy great for my tummy.

After a nice day like today we are looking forward to a great nights sleep. Nite nite.
