It is sorta like on the boat--you analyze the winds and the temps and decide the best day to go to the gulf side resort towns and the beaches. This week, the best day for the Corpus Christie field trip was Tuesday. It is a 2 hour drive from La Feria and so you want it to be worth it. It was. Corpus Christie/Mustang National Seashore/Port Aransas is a very pretty tourist area but hit very hard by Hurricane Harvey this summer. We found a really nice waterfront RV Park--they said that most of the RV owners had driven out of the park during the hurricane but about 6 remained. They were mainly totaled out because of the surge of the gulf. We had a good lunch at Landry's on the Waterfront in downtown Corpus Christie overlooking the downtown marina (reminded us of DuSable Marina in Chicago).

Ride from Padre Island through Aransas Pass was aboard the ferry Dingwall
