Still in Louisiana


We decided to stay another night here in the campground near Johnson Bayou. It was quiet and we could explore this part of the coast a little more. We drove east for several miles and then north on La-27 to the Sabine Wildlife Refuge. Took a wetlands walk there seeing the usual birds etc. Then further north to Blue Goose Trail. The mosquitoes were bad, tho not as bad as Alaska. Could anything be that bad. But we put on Insect Repellant after that.


Next we headed back the way we came, stopping once to hunt for shells on the beach. Got quite a few nice ones. Small conchs and what looked like snails, but much prettier. Then on into Port Arthur Texas. I have never been in a town that looked like this one. Refineries everywhere. Joyce took lots of “windshield” pictures. Also saw some large Ocean vessels. Quite impressive. We drove south to Sabine Pass and went to the end of the road, where we drove thru the McFaddin Wildlife Refuge. The usual birds. On the way down we saw American Pelicans and Ibis.


\We will head for Galveston tomorrow.
