We have moved
We are finished with our Island Hopping. We did 2 weeks on Mustang Island, 4 days on Padre Island and 2 weeks on South Padre Island. Today we left the Gulf Coast and headed up the Rio Grande Valley to a campground in Mission Texas.
Quite frankly we were ready for the change. We really loved the great birding on the islands, but the constant humidity and wet salty film on everything was getting a little old. Several foggy days didn't help either.
It's warmer here, mid 80's today, but the humidity seems manageable. We really like this campground so far. The people have been super friendly and we have never experienced a park as well maintained as this one. We are right next door to another World Birding site, less than 2 miles from a Butterfly Center, shopping is just 10 -12 miles away, the wood shop is huge, we can see the fitness center out our window, the bike trail runs by the entrance, they offer a 3 hour river cruise, social evening on Wednesdays and on and on. I think we are going to like it here. The only thing missing is the beach and the salt spray. We are ready for the change.
Below is a shot of our new home base.
