Has a special place in our hearts. It was home base for years. We wore out on Gulf Waters, the RV Park on Mustang Island, but not the little town on the north end.
Port A is suffering hard times right now. We’ve seen photos. A lot of it blew down in the hurricane. It got hit with 130 mph winds. There still are no city services, water, sewer, and electric, restored yet. Residents, with proper I.D. are being allowed in during daylight hours to sort through the rubble. Pit barbecue teams, that’s a real thing in the South, have set up stands to feed everyone for free. Judy just read a notice that there will be free gasoline distributed at Roberts Point Park tomorrow. The outpouring of support is heartening. People from all over the state, and beyond, are showing up to help. In times of crisis we don’t live in the divided world we hear so much about recently. The outpouring of support is heartening, but still…. The damage looks like so much deal with.
We’ve been giving a lot of thought and conversation to our trip home to the Valley. Judy’s doctor’s appointment is a week from Monday. We could slow down the pace and arrive in Corpus the night before. We could keep up our current pace, go straight home by the end of this week, then drive back up to Corpus for her Monday appointment. Calling ahead to RV Parks and State Parks close to Corpus though, most of the places we might stay are busy hosting storm evacuees from the coast, so we’ll probably try to stay out of the way and go straight home.
Tonight we’re in Carlsbad, NM RV Park for the night.
It’s still smoky out, but there are a lot of hotspots just in New Mexico, so we’ll have to wait a little longer for clear air.
