We left the Hill Country and drove south through San Antonio. All along the way we saw more wildflowers. I just can’t get enough of those Texas Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush beauties.
Stopped for lunch at a scenic picnic area along Route 37
This is as close as I got to the Alamo!
The four days we spent on North Padre National Seashore were among the best days we’ve ever enjoyed on our June Bug Journeys.
We drove through Corpus Christi toward Padre Island and entered the National Seashore on the park road. Bob and I were both a little apprehensive about towing the Airstream onto the sandy beach, but after talking with some people who had actually done it, we decided to just go for it! There was NOTHING TO IT. We drove south for five miles until we reached the sign indicating FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ONLY BEYOND THIS POINT.
So we stopped and set up camp.
My cowboy boots went from Bluebonnets to the beach!
Our brand new Airstream collapsible fire pit
You can see just how isolated we were on this beautiful beach. Look very closely, and you’ll see the June Bug!
By the time we left the beach to come back to civilization, our fresh water tank showed 6% and our grey water was at 85%. We made it!!
If you have considered boondocking on the beach, I say DO IT.
Beautiful scenery and solitude…. my kind of vacation place.
We prefer solidtude as well. And you can’t get much more remote than this beach!
Thanks for checking in…
Looks great, glad to see you and Bob enjoying retirement. Let Bob know it was great to hear him on Kristi podcast. Save travels
Thanks for reading the blog AND listening to the podcast. I’m sure Kristi and Bob will be happy to know you enjoyed it.
I’ve been living vicariously through Bob since listening to him since his first day in Indy. I actually said in an interview I moved to Indy because the radio reception wasn’t good in my home town. I grew up spending summers on Padre, and have always loved it. Thanks for sharing your travels with all of us…(do you need a house sitter at Naughty Pines while you’re out of town?
Richard, you are not alone in your appreciation of the Bob & Tom Show! So many people love Bob…not just me!!
Labonte Park? …. I’m guessing there were Marching Lancers somewhere nearby?
