From Grand Isle to Fulton, Texas

Goodbyes were all said and so it was time to leave Grand Isle. Of course the first leg was pretty short as we just had to stop at Betty’s Rv Park, in Abbeville, Louisiana. We wanted to stop and say hello and we also wanted to show Betty the Louisiana Opal I had bought for Renita.

The Park was pretty empty but there were several regulars we had met before. I knew Dan and Merlene were there as soon as I walked over to the dumpster. I could hear the sound of a guitar emanating from the open door of a familiar looking motor home.

We also saw Maryann who had just won a big bucks at the casino. There were a few other new people there but they weren’t feeling well and so stayed in their motorhomes. Not knowing if we will return this spring we said our goodbyes and headed off to Galveston.

Crossing the ferry we drove to Galveston State Park. We were looking for an inexpensive place to stay and the bay side rv pads were just the ticket. Although they had said they were forty feet in length we were able to back in without unhooking.

Another front was threating and so we took off the next day. It was only one hundred and eight miles to our winter location, in Fulton Texas. It’s so nice to reach a place and have friends come out for the hugs and warm welcomes.

Two of them, John and Dave had been out fishing and had caught a great day catching nice black drum and sheepshead. Dave told me it was the best black drum bite he has ever seen and I couldn’t wait until I had a chance to go out as Renita and I love eating black drum.

So now we are here at Blue lagoons Rv park for the next three months. Lots of time to fish, kayak, bird, and grind and saw rocks. Also time to just rest from the miles and miles since we have left Wyoming.
