Feb 19-22, 2018
Fog, fog and more fog…and then there was sun! Sea Rim State Park, TX. We are about 100yds from the beach, yet could not see it until this morning! And in our camper we sit above the beach!

We saw an alligator sunning itself aloong the nature boardwalk.

Some blue crabs and lots of water fowl. Oh, and lots of mosquitos! In February! Thankfully there has been a good breeze here.

And another GPS mistake…

Not really 🙂 This is….ahh….was…the road in the campground…

 
It is flat and swampy here…everywhere, with lots and lots of oil refineries, shipping, barges, oil storage and pipelines…all amongst the swampland and canals.
We’re moving into bayou country food- fried green tomatoes, hushpuppies, catfish and crawfish!
Rutherford Beach- just pull up and park! Good for a night.
Palmetto Island State Park- we think it is an island in the bayou/swamp. And they have free laundry! Got all caught up on that! Those birds are Spoonbills and they are bright pink!

So far, Louisianna has been bayou- swampy grasslands or wooded wetlands. Alligators, a rodent called a Nutria, black bear, too and lots of water fowl. And we expect things to continue this way as we head towards New Orleans- swinging way down into the bayou to Grand Isle State Park beforehand.
