Port Aransas: Hurricane recovery

Day 149

From San Antonio we opted to head straight to our next destination with no messing around.  With only a couple of weeks left on the road the decision was made to enjoy it as much as we can. That necessitates us cruising down towards the Gulf of Mexico and over the bridges from Corpus Christi  to Mustang Island. 

A quick hook to the left and just 14 miles down the road is our place of freedom for the next few days. Pioneer RV Park is still in cleanup mode from Hurricane Harvey. They've put about 95% of the facility back together and are welcoming people back with open arms. After being guided to our site we went through the usual set up and looked towards the shore. A large sand dune covered in cactus and grass blocked our view of the ocean. Eli gets hooked up and it's down the boardwalk and onto the beach.

The rest of the afternoon is exactly what you see above. Mid 70's temps and a slight breeze keeps the beach a little on the cool side. As the sun came down so did the thermometer until we just couldn't take it anymore. Dinner is made and it's time for one more dog walk. Eli loves a good stroll on the beach.
