Made it to Galveston Island today but boy what traffic going through Houston and down to Galveston. This area is unbeliveable! If you think of Grape Road and all the development there, turn it into 8 lanes of traffic and 70 miles long and you have the corridore between Houston and Galveston.
Plus it's spring break.
We did not get a campsite at Galveston State Park, they were full. We called all the local private campgrounds and they too were full. But we were able to stay in the overflow lot at Galveston State Park with no water, electric, or sewer hookup's for the night. Basically we are in a parking lot for the night and have to be out by 9am. But we are here, and the dogs can go on the beach, we can see the Gulf, and we are happy. We will get in line at 7am tomorrow morning to try to get a regular campsite, but we will be happy to just stay in the parking lot for 6 or 7 days if they let us do it. It's really not too bad! There is the beach with dogs allowed, a fresh fish market just down the road, a near by liquor store, lots of sunshine, and warm weather. What more could anyone ask for?
I have a couple of pictures from around here, but will wait until I have more to post them.
Brother Tim called to say a snow storm is heading towards Elkhart, we may just stay here a little longer than planned. Elkhart is our next destination, but not a fixed time of arrival.
See Ya All Soon!
