Cotton Rolls


Adventure Location: Across Texas to San Pedro Campground, Texas

The OFM woke up at an unreasonable time of 0545. After breakfast he decided to go see the sun come up. The Truck got us to the Rockport Beach in plenty of time. In fact way too early. The OFM did a bit of walking around and even out on the wooden pier. The problem was the mosquitoes were out in force and the salt damp air was miserable. He did take one pretty neat shot from out on the pier back toward the shore.

Back at the Castle a lot of research was put into finding a better place to wait for our flight to Alabama in November. Finally a decision was made and the Castle was readied for travel. The bill at the campground was settled and away we went.

Along the way were lots of fields of freshly harvested cotton.  It was rolled up like hay is rolled up. TheOFM does not remember seeing it done this way before.

After a lot of rolling time we pulled into a place to spend the night. Some grouchy old man and his dog were there waving at us.

It was Billy Bob and Sadie.  That is a nice surprise. Now we get to share this campground on Mud Puddle Amistad. This San Pedro campground has been covered in several old blog entries so nothing more will be said about it now.

After set up of the Castle, BB and the OFM headed into town to have supper and gossip.  On the way back to camp they stopped at the Blackbrush Point boat ramp to check out the lake level or is that lack of level. Here is BB on one of the ramps looking at the left over lake. That is brush growing through the cracks of the ramp.

As darkness was enveloping us, the Truck took us back to the campground to settle in for the night.

There is still some left over stuff from the Rockport era to put into the blog as soon as there is an opportunity. Of course the Teams are now looking to the desert for opportunities to try to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
