Coastal Run to Indianola

Late January, the best time for a little coast run.  Hit 87 out of town to Victoria then south to Port Lavaca.  Hwy 239 out of Port Lavaca to 316.

Checked out Magnolia Beach first:

Down the strand to Indianola.
Texas' version of the white sandy beach:

Not bad.

The only sign in "town":

Statue of LaSalle:

Circled back to 316 and caught 239 thru Tivoli, Austwell, and Hopper's Landing heading for Aransas National Wildlife Refuge.

Caught Hwy 35 south to Rockport.  Between Tivoli and Rockport hwy 35 crosses the delta where the Guadalupe River hits the coast.  Famous indian spot according to Cabeza de Vaca who was taken there during captivity.

Before crossing Copano Bay, drove thru Goose Island State Park to see the 1,000-year-old live oak near the water.

The road down to the tree:

Unfortunately, it was too crowded to get a pic of the tree, but i did have time to take one of the directions:

Traffic was thick thru Fulton and Rockport.  Stopped by the harbor and then headed for home.

A little Sunday stroll thru the fog.

Checked on Floore's.


Hwy 187 north of Vanderpool.

 Near Lost Maples.
