Galveston Island State Park

Goose Island State Park

Off we go North on 77 out of Harlingen and as

usual I'm keeping my eye out along the road for Armadillos.  (They used to be rampant in Texas and I think all those gun people have killed them all off.)  Anyways, I digress.  I'm looking out for Armadillos and what do I see but a flock of wild Turkeys trotting on down the side of the road.  I managed to get pictures of them, but I also saw a wild boar, routing around in the ditch, and a herd of cattle with at least ten zebras among them.  I was so surprized and doubted what I was seeing, that when I beleived what I was seeing, it was to late to get my camera up and snap a picture.                                         

                                                                                        As we approached Corpus Christi and the bays along the Gulf, we started to see the big bridges and causeways.    

Then we arrived at our destination. 

Goose Island State Park.  It is obviously  a very popular Bird Sanctuary, there were bird watches everywhere.   You could hardly drive through the park without bunches of them standing around in the middle of the road all snapping pictures and oblivious of evrything else around them. 

We had a very nice secluded campsite.  And Dan built a campfire. 

There were campsites available right on the waterfront overlooking the Gulf. 










Now its time to leave Goose Island and travel on  to Galveston Island .
