Having never been to Texas Beaches we had no idea about (but have always heard about) Padre Island. It is kinda confusing at first.... there is Padre Island National Seashore and South Padre Island the city! South Padre Island is not part of The National Park.... once you cross Port Mansfield Channel (some 30 miles up the beach) that is where the National Park begins. We were able to camp for free... and read camping if free until spring Break begins. If you can make it on the beach via “Beach Access #6 there is no fee, however, the sand is very soft and deep. If you get on the beach via “Beach Access #5” there is a $12 fee or half price if you are a Veteran. This access point is well maintained and generally and car can make it to the beach. We still managed to get stuck..... of course!! We were able to drive a long the hard pack sand for 28 miles until we reached Port Mansfield Channel!!!

The video of the Gulf was amazing. I cant tell you how many nights I have fallen asleep to that sound. I grew up in San Antonio but we often went to Corpus Christi as a kid. But later I lived in Corpus and the Rockport area for a time. But it has been 11 years since I waded into those Gulf waters. Thank you!

I know!! It was scary at first but if you stayed right by the water it was fine. But as soon as you pulled away from the water.....we are going to try a new method we learned for airing down our tires which should help. The front wheel drive is what really hinders us from driving in the sand.

@dandial3733 3 года назад
That's a beautiful spot. My in-law live in Harlingen do we've spent a lot of time down there. Make sure you clean your van very well when you leave the area, especially the under carriage. The salt content in the water in the Laguna Madre is much higher than in the ocean. It will cause major rust if you don't get it rinsed off. Edit - LOL original comment made before I watched the end of the video.

+Lynda Smith thank you! We were so surprised we made it that far down the beach!!! After making it half way there we knew we had to go the whole way! It was a HUGE accomplishment for “storm trooper” (that’s the vans name) which kinda ties in with the little figure hanging from the window. We are Star Wars fans.... so Dave bought us little figurines to hang, he has a storm trooper and I have “Ray” from the newer Star Wars..... just for fun! We have this discussion about why he bought a storm trooper? That is the wrong side of the rebellion!!!! Dave laughs😃 then that leads immediately into “why did you name the van storm trooper?” He says “ I like storms, the van looks like a storm trooper..... therefore the name “storm trooper”! And I (Carrie) day again..... that is the wrong side of the rebellion! And then to be a brat I call the van “Vanna White” 😂😂

Hello. First, great video and excellent photography. What kind of roof rack do you have? Could you attach your roof rack to the van without putting holes in the roof? Any advice or recommendations are appreciated. Thank you.
@oneadVANtureatatime
@oneadVANtureatatime 3 года назад
Hi Wayne! Our roof rack is made by Topper and we ordered it through AmericanVan.com. The mounts hook to anchors right on the roof so there is no holes in the van. Ours is made of galvanized steel and was 400 dollars plus shipping and handling. We bought extra heavy duty mounts as only 4 come with the kit. We have 8 mounts and can handle over 750 lbs . We love this rack. Make sure you check out the shipping cost as we have heard it can be high.

I was in west Texas along the Rio Grande River border at the beginning of this month before heading to Brownsville and SPI for a week. Thankfully, I was leaving as the illegal immigrants and their COVID-19 cases surged that area. Moved up to La Grange and Lake Tawanoki for my reaming time in Texas before heading to northeast Alabama - just in time for a St. Patty's Day of tornados and flash flooding! Happy to report the Jasper/Arely area were spared and I'm now enjoying my exploration of Bankhead National Forest. HAPPY TRAILS!!!

We had an incredible time celebrating our retirement, Birthday ( his ) our Anniversary, Holy Week, a wonderful Easter. The Catholic church on the main land was beautiful. We felt welcomed there, as they had a LOT of Seasonal members. I subscribed to your channel today, and look forward to seeing what's next. Take care and God Bless ! Happy Easter to everyone.

Nice video, my wife and I were headed to SPI but got stuck in Big Bend National Park during Uri. The weather in SPI looked horrible so we never made it ☹️. We will definitely try again another time.

yeah...it wasn't super warm but we had a few nice days. The water was cold. and Texas was still recovering from Uri. Gas, water, food, and propane was in short supply.

We were surprised as well about the Texas beaches! They are set up very well for the public and we had a great time.Yes, I finally got to get stuck in the sand! I was hoping for a chance to try those traction boards out on the beach 🏖 😀

Hi guys! Love your videos. Instead of jumping in cold salty water, go to Walmart and get their adult disposable wash cloths. They are big and you only need one and no need to rinse. Happy trails

+Diane Peterson Our videos run 3-4 weeks behind. That gives us leeway to stop and visit new friends along the way. We currently just spent a week in Oklahoma with family. This is something that wouldn’t be possible without a video delay. We learned this the first year. Doing 2 videos a week for an entire year was EXTREMELY hard. It was no different than our previous 9-5 jobs because our video deadlines was creating a large amount of stress for us!!!! Also with covid it has become really hard to find a library or other business where we can upload our videos to RU-vid.... if we were right on The deadline date.... more stress! We drove around Utah an entire day looking for someplace to upload a video!!! THAT SUCKED!! What’s the point of the journey if you can’t enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
