We are still at the Mustang Island State Park, a few yards from the waters of the Gulf. It was cold last night as the rain continued to fall. Temp dropped down to 51 degrees and for this part of Texas that is cold for this time of year. This morning we awoke to socked in fog. It took a few hours for that to lift and then the sun came shining through. Just before it lifted I walked down to the beach. There is a abandoned beach house that belongs to this state park but is no longer used. I am guessing that funds have been cut back here as other places in the US.
Today's observation: What is 3 feet by 3 feet and about 12 inches high with wheels and comes in a variety of colors?? .........give up?.......These containers are officially called "Black water haulers" Also known as Turd Trailers, Crap Caddies, Portable poop pullers, you name it. Almost every one of the campers in this park have one or more of these nifty little devices. I watched a couple of people hook these devices up to their 3/4 ton pickups and pull them out to the dump station. I have not figured out why these large men cannot simply pull them to the dump station like they would pull a little red wagon. Some of the campers have two, one for "black water" (crap caddies) and one for grey water - sink water carriers. This makes it easier to dispose of wastes so they don't have to unhook their rigs and drive to the dump stations. I am learning lots of things about camping. This is one of the more extravagant inventions of the RV business. For those of you who would like a visual, I will have a picture of a crap caddie tomorrow.
Closing out as the rain pitter patters on the roof of the Wanch (our home).
The bird that is watching over us is a Boat Tailed Grackle and there are hundreds of them instead of Sea Gulls all around the camping area. This one has stuck with us continually. He is watching over us.
