Our (Rainy) week in Rockport, Texas.

The weather was not great. The temps went below freezing a few nights during the week and we had a LOT of rain,but it sure beat the terrible storm that was occurring further to the north of us. So glad we left Medina Lakes. Most days we stayed close to home, planning the rest of our winter and contacting various campgrounds to plan out our next few stops.

While we were at Bay View, we took the opportunity to check out Magnolia Beach a free boondocking beach near Port Lavaca, Port Aransas beach boondocking area, Mustang Island and the town of Rockport. Here are some photos.
