First real day and night of camping!




We are here - Mustang Island State Park. This state park is located just outside of Corpus Christi Texas. We crossed south from the main land over a cause way to South Padre Island and then a bridge over to Mustang Island. No wild horses, just lots of beach and a parking lot for a State Park. A parking lot full of Boat Tailed Grackles. There are two rows of sites for campers and we are in number 19. 48 sites in total. We arrived early this morning and started the process of hooking up to water and electric and the task of organizing everything we had packed in the camper. That pretty much took all day, but as it was raining steadily outside it was a good day to do what we had to do to get things in order. The other campers in this park make this little 30 foot camper look like a tent!. There are some really, really big campers here. Most have 5 slide outs and they are hauling 4 wheel drive vehicles with them. They even have little satellites set up outside their campers for Internet and TV! A good place to start the nomad life, but certainly not what I expected. I was thinking something like Bewabic Park outside of Crystal Falls with trees, hills, vales, etc. No so. This is flat, sand and treeless. This is the beauty of this country of ours. You just need to open your eyes a bit further to see what there is to see.
