We
changed plans today because of a growing chigger concern.
The Route
We left Port Lavaca on TX-35S.
We passed through Rockport and Aransas Pass on the way to US-181 at
Gregory. US-181 took us across Corpus
Christi Bay where we connected with TX-286 (a.k.a. I-37) and then TX-358 going
toward Padre Island. The campground is on Waldron Rd., the last exit on TX-358
before entering the John F. Kennedy
Memorial Causeway. It was a 106 mile trip.
About the Day
We slept in a bit and didn’t leave the Port Lavaca campground until
nearly 11 am. There was a stiff breeze
most of the day. The temperature reached
the low 90’s.
Leaving Texas Lakeside RV
Resort

| Site #2 |
We originally planned to travel to Brownsville or McAllen. Early in the trip we decided to cut it short,
stop in Corpus Christi, find a good campground, and spend the afternoon doing
laundry (to get rid of any “ride-along” chiggers).
Along the Way
Compano Bay Causeway – approaching Rockport
USS Lexington Museum on
the Bay
Corpus Christi Harbor
Bridge
 |
| Main Turning Basin from Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge |
The temperature at 4 pm in Corpus Christi was 90°F with humidity of 65%. A 22 mph breeze offered some relief.
Laundry got done and showers were taken. Hopefully, we’ve put an end to the current chigger
episode.
The Campground
We’re staying at Colonia del
Rey RV Park. It’s highly rated and is
OK.
Tomorrow
We hope to head westward sometime tomorrow.
