Today's drive starts on
Interstate 69E/US
Route 77 North.
Texas' road construction season
continues through the winter,
allowing me to get pictures of
construction equipment.
I love cranes!
North Alamo's
water tower
This is an easy drive,
so far....
This section of South
Texas is sparsely
populated.
Sarita has an Immigration
Check Point.
Sorry, no pictures. I don't want to have to explain my interest in photography with Border Patrol Agents.
Livestock graze in nearby
fields.
Los Olmos Creek flows
into the Gulf of Mexico.
I admire the tank treads on
the Cold Milling Machine.
The Miller breaks up asphalt,
which is recycled for to make
new pavement.
The baby John Deere Crawler Loader is sooo cute!
Utility work
Eric turns onto Texas
State Highway 44 East.
A small Oil Derrick
stands next to the
road.
Sometimes you have to
go south to go east...
part of today's route.
Our first peek at damage
from Hurricane Harvey.
Eric points out the
roadside Rooster.
An Oil Refinery
Corpus Christi is shrouded
in fog.
We approach the Corpus
berthed nearby.
We turn onto Texas State
Highway 35 North.
A Gulf side RV Park
Just 9 miles to go......
Hurricane Harvey Claims
Billboard
From August 25 through August 30 Hurricane Harvey caused wind damage and flooding cross the Texas Gulf Shore from Port Aransas to Cameron, Louisiana. Inland flooding occurred from Houston up into Arkansas. Five months on, those affected by Hurricane Harvey are still working their way back to normalcy.
One of numerous gigantic
piles of debris in the wide
median of the highway.
Eric and I were shocked to see the detritus of ruined homes and businesses.
The Rockport
water tower
Eric & I are spending the
night at the Walmart.
This Walmart has dedicated
RV lanes that are at least
70 feet long.
Cars park in the RV lanes so their drivers can save a few steps into the store.
