Bay View RV Park and a Really Big Tree

We arrived at Bay View RV Resort on Saturday.  We got all set up in site #155.  The park is a little run down, but its our understanding that under the new management, they are working at making it better.  We met a lot of wonderful people when we went for Karaoke that evening.

Sunday we took a ride into Rockport.  We never thought about it being a Sunday.  A lot of things were not opened.  We walked around the marina area for a while.

Here are a few sculptures around the marina area. (Kim the turtle is for you)
We also drove over to Goose Island State Park to see “The Big Tree”.

These tree is a Coastal Oak tree and they are very prevalent is this area.  This Big Tree is over 1000 years old and has a trunk circumference of 35 ‘ and a crown spread of 89’.

We plan to go into Corpus Christie to see the USS Lexington and Ed wants to do a little fishing.  We have a couple of weeks so we will do it at a relaxing pace.

  1. We had a wonderful time in Rockport. We really enjoyed the Fulton Mansion State Historic Site. So much history...150 yr. old toilet tissue...hahaha, Tarpon Inn, etc. Enjoy your visit in the area.

  4. Relaxing is good. Tomorrow will be the first time in 5 weeks that we will have full hookups. We love boondocking but power is good too. PS neither Niki or Stephanie were working the day I went to visit the Amazon booth.
