Liz, there is (or was) a place to dump in town. I don't know exactly where - but when there the last 2 years, people left to dump and return. It seems that rv park right across from you charges a lot to dump - but you could walk over and ask nicley and see what they say. I remember something about an rv park called Lighthouse something - as not as expensive - supposed to be right on/off the beach near town. Oh, and someone told me once to check with the fire department, that they used to allow people to dump there. I never checked, so don't know if that's up-to-date info. Again, just trying to remember - I didn't dump anywhere there - so don't have that in my notes.

Looks like it was a wonderful weekend for everyone. I can just picture Jed running on that beach. He loves playing in the water, and to have a place like that all to himself would be heavenly! And with the extra canine companions too ... wow! Maybe I'll be able to get down that way some day. I love camping where I can hear the sound of the waves.

Sharon, I'm glad that you survived your dry camping experience and had a great drive both ways. And thanks to all for sharing your pictures with us. It's fun to live vicariously through you all!

Laura -- and Jed

Thanks again for sharing all those wonderful photos. I can almost hear and smell the waves and I know the company is good.

Wow, you all have been busy with your pics, I had three pages to go through. Liz, I loved the sunset one, way back, looked like a red ball, beautiful.

Beth, I too, noticed your new pic. I really like it!

Sarah, I am getting kind of envious here too, that parking site they're on is my ideal place and the sounds of water at night, gosh. But the pics you guys are posting is almost like being there, if I shut my eyes after seeing them, I can almost hear it :D Thought about hunting up one of the big Conk shells I used to have and listen to it, BAD OFF, aren't I :lol:

Continue having fun out there and thanks so much all of you for all of the Pictures!!!

Safe and Happy travels,
Carol

Well, I left Birdie and Liz this morning and headed to Goliad State Park (wipe a tear) on my way home. I do have to admit that I really enjoyed a long shower without worrying about my gray tank. What a fun get together. My connection has been slow so I'll post some more pictures and hopefully, the video when I get home. I certainly enjoyed listening to the waves every night outside my rig and the cool air. Don't miss so much the constant dampness and the sand.

It looks like you all had a great time and perfect place. Thanks for the pictures. Love the birds but I sure wouldn't know the first name much less the 2nd & 3rd :lol: You all be safe.

One of our many birds. We all loved the Brownies.

Here is Liz hitting the road, headed to visit with Acadianmom, Martha.

Thank you for all the wonderful photos and descriptions. Hard to believe it is over but grateful I had the opportunity to tag along even if just electronically.
