Nuestro Pod here again. It’s been awhile since I have summoned up the ambition to tell fellowPods about my (and owners) trips.  Wehave stayed in our South Texas area camping at Isla Blanca county park on So.Padre Island, Adolph Thomae Jr county park in Arroyo City and I.B. Magee BeachPark in Port Aransas.  Our most recentouting was at I.B. Magee over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. 

It was nice to get out again, my owners and I haven’t beenout for about 3 wks.  They packed somestuff Wed night but mostly Thursday before we left about 10 am.  I was a beautiful day for being towed;minimal winds and temps in the low 70’s. On arriving at I.B. Magee we drove around to see what site would be goodfor us.  My owners knew the wind would bepicking up and wanted a site that they could put my R-Dome up and not have anyproblems.  We found a site next to a bigRV. (See picture)  My owner got me hookedup to water and shore power then set up my R-dome. We were now ready to relax.  Of course my owner first thought was to takea walk on the beach and jetty.  I wasjust happy to be out.  One of my ownershad the idea it might be neat to put turkey like feathers on my rear end and aturkey head and neck my front.  Thankfullyhe couldn’t figure a good way to attach them if he had made them.  I would have been really embarrassed if hewould have done this.  Anyhow, ratherthan turkey and the trimmings they had fish. They had the iPod plugged into myentertainment center and sat in the R-dome reading and just chillin’.  Friday was another beautiful day mostly sunnyand temps in the mid to upper 70’s and moderate winds 10-15 mph.  My owners went over to the beach and thenPaul came back to get his kite. I was able to watch him fly it, although it didsee it crash a couple of times.  We theycame back he said one of the fittings had broken so he couldn’t fly it anymoreuntil he got it fixed. While he was flying the kite one of Pauls’ cheap sandalsbroke, so we they came back they took off to see if they could find some newcheap sandals.  I heard them talking wentthey got back they had indeed found Paul some cheap sandals but had also founda nature trail and wetland area. (See pictures of wetland area)  While they were gone  I just sat around listening to music and enjoyingthings.  Saturday, a front was going tocome through and I did get a little wet but not very much.  It turned out to be not too bad a day it gotup to 80.  My owner decided since therewere occasional sprinkles they would run some errands (get a couple of thingsthey forgot) and go visit where they bought me. They said they were going to the Padre Island National Seashore Park andto visit the dealer where they bought me. Before they left they took down my R-dome since the wind was suppose topick up and blow from 20-30 mph with gusts to 40.  They arrive back and able to sit out forawhile before it got too windy.  The winddid pick up and was blowing pretty hard. My owners wife really doesn’t like it when I rock back a forth with thegusts.  She knew she wouldn’t get anysleep if they stayed. So they decided about 9:00 pm it would be best,especially since the weather on Sunday was to be cool and very windy, if theywould pack me up and head home.   Withthe wind out of the north we headed south toward home.   Boy it was a great ride back.  With the wind behind be we could do 65-70 mphat 2300-2500 rpm.  Arriving at home about12:30 am they just pulled me out of the way an unpacked on the essentials.  Sunday they finished unpacking me and backedme into my storage place in back of their house.  Well I guess I’ll have to wait a couple ofweek before we head out again.
