Good to get out Again

Hello again fellow Podders. It’s been quite awhile since we have been able to get Nuestro Pod out.  Normally, we try to get out every other weekend.  But that hasn’t happened for 6-8 weeks and we were bummed.  If it wasn’t the weather, there were “chores” to do around the house.  Down here it’s not that it’s has been too cold, it’s the wind and high chances of rain on the weekends.  Anyhow, we finally got out this past weekend.  We didn’t find out I would have Friday off until Thursday afternoon.  Fortunately, we travel pretty light and were able to pull out about 10 am on Friday.  We decide to head to one of our favorite places, Isla Blanca County Park on South Padre Island, TX.  We got a spot which turned out to be pretty nice.  Most of the “Winter Texan’s” had left so there were plenty of sites available, however, it was the Mexican Holy Week - Semana Santa, there were a lot of Mexican National families with their trailers in the park and on the beach. (See Pictures)

 

We had to do a bit of repair on the R-Dome.  Somehow I had managed to put a rip in it along one of the seams.  We uses some Mcnetts Tenacious Tape to do the repair.  I worked pretty well but we are still going to do a little sewing and re-taping to make sure it holds.  With the R-Dome repaired and up it was time to relax in our lounge chairs we always bring.  The weather was fantastic.  The highs were in the low to mid 80’s and low 70’s at night with a nice breeze all the time.  As usual we took several walks on the beach and people watched.  As usual the time was too short and had to leave by noon on Sunday as that is the check-out time.

 

It sure was great to get out camping again.  We’ll probably head out to the other nearby county park in a couple of weeks. 

 

Happy Podding

Nice.  Its great that everyone is getting out there in this early spring.

Great Pix, I am really ready to go even for a one nighter, but mother nature has thrown us a curve ball, Lows tonight in southern indiana 28 to 32, frost warning, cover my blueberries and hope the frost does not get my red delish apples that are about the size of a pea. Our fav spot Hoosier National Forest fully opens Sunday, alas monday is a work day, Life can be cruel, but I know campin time is right around the corner. Happy Camping Dane and Donna
