November 24th - Mathis – Mustang Island, Texas


November 24th    - Mathis – Mustang Island, Texas          Weather – Overcast     7  C                    
Total Kilometers this trip -  8507.2                                    Kilometers today -  100.3

Before heading to Mustang Island, I had to do three small jobs, as the parts did not come in until this morning.  I had to installed temperature gauges for transmission and engine temp – they both work fine now, as well as installation of the sender for engine temp. 

When I started the coach, as usual I check for leaks and I also found  a  leak from a hose on the transmission.  It was determined that the hose would be okay for this trip so off we travelled to Mustang Island. 
 we were following Powell and Char
Mustang Island is on the Gulf of Mexico, and we stayed at a State Park there, minutes from the Gulf.
After we got all settled in, we drove along the beach, many miles – and in the Gulf, one thing there were numerous of – drilling platforms.

We drove into Port Aransas, but did not cross on the ferry to the mainland.

For supper we went to  Crazy Cajun restaurant – dinner is served on the table – no plates – what do you think the food inspector in Canada would say about that.  Yup, a full meal deal, of potatoes, corn, and crab, shrimp and sausage, all put in the middle of the table,  and the one who eats the fastest gets the moistest LOL.
