Raining tonight. We did not make it to Texas yet, but we are close. Once again,we have taken the scenic route. Lots of small towns, birds, alligators, etc. We stopped along a beach, which was mostly deserted and picked up a bag of shells. The only other people there were a girl collecting conch shells and her boyfriend?/husband sitting in the truck. The waves were energetic and the water looked muddy from all the sand that was being churned up.
The weather today started out good. Warm, partly cloudy. But as we headed south and west it progressively got worse. We ran in and out of rain, some heavy. But when we got to the ferry to cross the Deep Water Shipping Channel at Port Arthur it was breezy. So we were able to stand out on the ferry for the 5 minute crossing. But while waiting we saw on very large ship putting out to sea. It was so big that we could not get it all in the frame for a picture on wide angle. But the exciting thing about the crossing was the porpoise that Joyce saw. I missed it and she was unable to get a picture.
After crossing the channel we came to this campground on La-82. Looks like mostly permanent folks. Oil workers are our guess. After finally finding the office, we are staying for the night. So expensive. $10 an nite and quiet. We got the camper put up before the rain got too heavy. It is currently falling at a steady pace and the wind is blowing. But so far, we are warm and dry. Finished supper and Joyce is doing the dishes. Many thanks to our grandson, Ivy, who taught us the proper way to fry biscuits. They came out well.
