Our Drive to Boca Chica Beach in Very Southern Texas

Today's drive starts out southeast on Interstate 69E....





San Benito is the home
of Freddy Fender.

I like Rancho Viejo's

water tower.

It looks like a

golf ball.

The rest of our drive will
be on Texas State 
Highway 4 East.

Apparently, parking on
the Sidewalk is a
problem here.

This is the Rio Grande Valley

Civil War Trail.

This area is the site of skirmishes between Union and Confederate Troops.  The last battle of the Civil War was fought at Palmetto Ranch on May 11, 1865.

This historic marker shows

the locations of a road &

floating bridge built for

military use in the 1840s

& 1860s.

This SpaceX Site is

under construction. 

The Radio Telescopes are part
of the 4,000 acre complex that
will launch orbiting rockets.

Boca-Chica Village

Welcomes You.

Eric and I don't see any houses.  They must be just over the rise.

The Landfill attracts 

LOTS of birds.

The Pavement Ends

in 500 Feet.
