Rockport, Port Aransas, Padre Island National Seashore, Corpus Christi

We took the jeep on a ferry to Port Aransas where you can
drive on the beach all the way down to and
including Padre Island National Seashore.  With a permit
you can camp with your motorhome, next time were
in this area we are going do that.

Oil platforms are every where  in the water.

We had a small sight in Rockport but there was so much to do
around here we were never home, so all good.

There were so many oyster boats and they would line up and
empty their sacks of oysters at the dock then right into semi trucks.

Lining up to get to the docks.  There were about 30 working boats.

The Fulton Mansion which is being repaired from Hurricane Harvey in August 2017.
This whole area was hit hard they are still recovering and rebuilding.
Some businesses were just reopening after 15 months.

Leisure boats and oil rigs.

Another picture showing the road of shoreline, it's wide in this picture
however in some areas it was only about 20 feet wide and
completely gone sometimes with the tide.


This 11 foot wide oak tree is 1,000 years old.

The last rays of sun before we left the Gulf Coast headed for San Antonio.
