We have been on the move for the last week. We left the hill country outside of San Antonio for the beaches of the Corpus Christi area. Our state park guide lead us to Mustang Island which is just north of Padre Island. We stayed only one night at the state park as our goal was to camp directly on the beach as we were able to do ten miles north in Port Aransas. What a deal--for ten dollars you get an annual pass to park and camp on the beach! Our pass is clearly displayed if we ever get back to this area in 2007!
From there we went to Brazos Bend State Park which our guide stated was one of the top state parks in the US. Miles of trails for hiking and biking along trees draped in Spanish moss--with alligators lurking next to the trails in the water. I did not expect to see any alligators at this point of the trip--I figured we would see them closer to Florida.
A quick trip to Stephen F. Austin park allowed us our first round of golf on the road before driving through Houston to Conroe, Texas. This is home base for a few days as we do laundry and catch up on e-mails. Today we head for Billy's stomping grounds of Silsbee and the Big Thicket. More later....

Hi Bill and Susan,
Glad you're back online and hope you're enjoying more sights but without too much big city traffic.
Was really great visiting with you and thanks for the warm hospitality and good food at the campsite.
I felt like a celebrity, JoeBill, when I saw the BHS homepage. FYI...the year was '62...not too bad for 45 years between the two pics. :)
Bobby and I send you our best. Stay safe and in touch.
Happy Trails.
Judy
