Rain, Rain go away! Wednesday was supposed to be cloudy with no rain till Wednesday evening or Thursday morning. HA!
We went exploring yesterday and found the tiny fishing village of Seadrift and then Port O’Connor which was advertised to be “The Best Kept Secret On the Gulf Coast”. We have not found the secret yet. 2 gas stations, 1 hardware store, ½ dozen restaurants, several marine supply places, lots of condos and fishing boats! This town was totally destroyed by a hurricane in the 1960’s so most of the town is fairly new. The restaurant that was recommended to us turned out to be on winter schedule and will not open till Friday. As we were looking for another restaurant, the heavens opened up and the torrent of rain came down! Everyone else in town had the same thought – get out of the rain and go to lunch. Every working person in town was on their lunch and were all at Cathy’s!!
We found several lakes and salt marshes that were listed as “kayak trails” and some very nice beaches. Coming cross country was a combination of cattle ranches, oil fields and salt marshes.
Today was foggy most of the day and so we drove to town and checked out several of the small shops that are in the “historic” downtown. Pretty soon, their “downtown” is gonna be history! Once back home, Harry decided he would go to the “office”! Since we do not have wifi, he’s been going up the road a block or so, across from another RV park that has free wifi. The park is just around the corner of the bay from us and Harry has found that he can pick up their signal out at the gazebo on the boardwalk! Now he can walk to work!
