Six days delayed in Louisiana for RV repairs meant we lost some campground deposits/reservations. We drove 9+ hours in one day to get to Goose Island State Park in southern Texas to get back on track, but Winter Storm Uri was traveling quickly to meet us there. Temperatures were FIFTY (50) degrees colder than normal. The campground was lovely, especially for birders, and has well-maintained trails through the oak forests and along the marshlands. We hope to come back when it is warmer!
During a break in the weather, Joe ventured out to the stores to look for another heater, but the shelves were empty everywhere. He was able to take the ferry to Port Aransas to connect with a middle-school friend and they had a good visit.
Wisely, given the weather predictions, we extended our stay three more nights. We had to move to a different campsite, but we were grateful to be sheltered in the oak trees. We glimpsed some birds during a sunny stretch. Mostly we hunkered down in Cornelia reading books, watching the terrible traffic reports on the Texas news, and congratulating ourselves for staying off the treacherous roads.
Where in the world are the Gills?
