We left Mustang Island in Port Aransas on the Gulf Coast of Texas a few days ago. We were in Port Aransas for two months and took many trips in the Jeep down to Padre Island National Seashore. The National Seashore has 62 miles of 4-wheel drive beach.
On one of our first trips in the National Seashore we were flagged down by the owner of a motorhome. He had gotten himself stuck in the sand and Bill pulled him out with the Jeep. There are actually very many RVs on the beach. It’s amazing we there are not more of them stuck in the sand.
We often saw many people surf casting on the beach. One day we saw a couple of fisherman pull in a shark!!
The currents in the Gulf of Mexico cause lots of interesting items to wash up onto the Padre Island beach.
We found a deserted cabin at around mile 40.
And many pelicans !!
