Touring The Area

 



ADVENTURE LOCATION:

ROCKPORT, TEXAS

NOVEMBER 23, 2024



Here are a few high spots in the area we got to photograph while doing chores in the area. Naturally we get to see the campsite we are in. It is right across the road from the laundry and convenient to the campground gate and the office where mail is distributed. We got lucky on this site.



Next tonight is the man made Rockport Tx one mile long special beach. It is maintained to have a gentle slope to allow supervised young children fun wading way out in the ocean and only be in two feet of water and have “ocean” waves crashing in on the beach. It is a very popular beach for younger kids to have a blast.



There is very light activity today but most of the year on Friday thru Sunday noon it is a crowded mass of kids and parents.

Nearby is our favorite fishing area because it is usually not really busy and the OFM usually can catch eating size speckled trout, croaker, flounder and a few other species fun to catch but not necessarily fun to eat like stingrays.



And what was best this day was lunch at the Vallarta Mexican restaurant n. We stopped in and overdosed on chicken tacos, yummy beans and lightly spiced fried rice done Tex-Mex style.





Then we went next door to Tackle Town to get our Texas Fishing license and drool on the lures and fishing gear before we go catch enough fish to lower the Gulf of Mexico two feet soon. No we do not keep most of the fish because the Castle only has room for about three meals worth in its freezer so most go back into the Gulf.

I wonder what is planned for tomorrow? Good thought and good night.
