Road trip

  Forecast called for a rainy day so a road trip was in order. We made the 50 mile trip over to Rockport. First stop was a walmart to pick up a new pot for Veronica. Saturday before Christmas and surprisingly it was not total craziness. Mission accomplished we moved on to the local Ace Hardware store. We have been told it is the second largest Ace hardware in the country. At any rate it is huge and has a large variety of items. Scored some item we were looking for plus some unexpected finds.

 Our next stop was Tackletown. A clothing, hunting and fishing gold mine of products. Once again we purchased some items we wanted. That left our lunch choice as the remaining stop. Paradise Key is a nice, casual restaurant we have visited many times. Consistent good seafood which we really enjoyed looking out over the bay.

 All and all a very nice day.

the adventure continues...

Lake Corpus Christi continued

  Part of the allure of this park is the fishing pier. They say it is 400ft and I believe that measurement. It is by far the longest pier at any state park we have camped in. I have watched others catching crappie but I have not been successful. Having said that, I have caught 19 white bass in the past two days. Too small to keep, which I would not do anyway, but fun none the less. As I told a man last night, they tug on my line and that is all i ask of them. Today we plan to drive over to Rockport for lunch. Will post photos and thoughts from our lunch date as well as scenes of other campers decorated for Christmas.

Lake Corpus Christi

  We have returned for yet another Christmas week at this park. I believe this is our third one. So far weather has been good and so has the fishing. Tomorrow plan is to drive over to Rockport for lunch.

more to come
