Tule Trail Report And Camera Report

 ROCKPORT, TEXAS

JANUARY 1. 2025

We begin with good news.  The phone was found in late morning after three diligent searches of the Castle and the Walmart we last had it inside and Sierra. After the third search as we were about to go inside the Castle in utter defeat, the OFM fumble fingered dropped his keys to the gravel parking surface around the Castle. And there deep under Sierra was the camera taking a nap with Sierra straddling it. We had pulled out of that spot and returned several times without running over the camera. It was a miracle and we smiled and accepted with glee.

Now on to the Tule Trail that we walked to get out of all the severe winds the other day. 

The Tule park starting point is adjacent to the SE corner of the Walmart property. There is a nice but small parking lot with picnic facilities but no rest rooms anywhere along the about 1.5 mile one way trail. The terminus is the beginning spot for the Rockport Memorial Park where we have been walking for years and it has full restrooms there with drinking water faucets.

The trail looks like this but the amount of trees and brush etc, varies along side the trail. The surface is nice wide concrete so there is easy passage of folks and bicycles. Lots of very friendly puppy dogs were on the trail this day and the OFM got lots of good pup pats in. On this day we were dodging winds in the 30 mph range and the trail made it pleasant walking.

A few spots along the trail, flowers grew next to folks yard fences and we got a decent picture of these in full bloom.

This would be a miserable summer trail with no wind to help fight the hot humid temperatures so plan your fun carefully.

Have a great New Year.
