ON THE ROAD AGAIN!

We're on the move !! It's official - - we're camping again! We said our last goodbyes to all of our new friends at Sunshine RV Park and headed north. We had our last Mexican meal on rt77 heading to Corpus Christi. Our voyage ended at the campground at the National Seashore on Padre Island. The price was right - $4! Minimal facilities but again - - some very nice folks! As we pulled in we were invited to join the fish fry that was going on! Several of the men had caught all the fish right out from the beach! Good fish,too! The ladies all brought pot luck! We even met a couple who used to live in Ai, Ohio - out in Fulton County!! The 2 guys had a good time sharing stories.

Now, about this strange vehicle - the Unimog!! The folks are from Germany. They unloaded their vehicle in San Diego and are driving it to Boston, via the entire southern United States, including Florida!! They can only stay in the states for 1 year, according to their visas. From what they've said, they have even toured Africa in it!!

Monday morning we really put on the miles-25. From Padre Island at the southern end of Corpus Christi , north to Mustang Island and the county park in Port Aransas on the northern end of Corpus Christi. This is the same county park that we stayed at on our way down! We'll be here a week! YES - - free wifi!!
