I headed from Goose Island to Padre Island, one of my favorite places. No need to go through Corpus as there’s a free ferry across the channel at Port Aransas.
I prefer parking at Bird Island Basin, a dry-camp spot (free) overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, rather then the campground on the Gulf side. The campground costs some money, has no real services, and is now mostly asphalt which is miserable when it gets hot. Not to mention the noise of the surf and getting splashed now and then when the wind kicks up. Bird Island is a very popular place for sailboarding, so it’s entertaining. The Gulf beach is only a mile away.
My plan was to check the weather, and check out the drivability of Mustang Island, maybe even park on the beach. But, this evening is an uncommon high tide with a good breeze that’s predicted to cover the beach all the way up to the dunes. On the waterway I’m hanging out over the water, and I’ll guess my wheels might be sitting in it tonight. No biggie that, but the roads on the island might flood so I can’t move for a day or so.
This morning I’ll head into the HEB and get some groceries, then watch what happens.
