The Texas Coast (Feb. 15 to March 6, 2006)
We made a quick trip from Tampa to meet friends, George and Barb, who were waiting for us in Rockport, TX, a beautiful, quiet and friendly coastal area just about 35 miles North of Corpus Christi. George proudly treated us to a drive along the beach of Mustang Island, where driving and RV camping are both perfectly legal.
One of the local sites of interest in Rockport is the windmill, blown into a tree around 1919 and left there to grow.

e enjoyed watching the antics of one of the 5 or so resident alligators in Bay View RV Resort.
The area is a birder's dream. Pictured below in Rockport harbor are White Pelicans, a Roseate Spoonbill, etc. Nearby Aransas National Wildlife Refuge hosts nearly 400 different species throughout the year. It's also the Winter home of the endangered Whooping Crane. Steve and I were privileged to be able to spot a family of 3 in glorious flight, but were not quick enough to photograph them.
