Yesterday we explored more of the Rockport area and went to the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge and then to Port Lavaca to see the Half Moon Reef Lighthouse. The Wildlife Refuge was a little disappointing. At the information center they indicated that we would see javalenas, coyotes, whooping cranes, alligators, etc. We did see 3 alligators and several deer and a couple of small armadillos, but that was all. Compared to the refuge we visited a few times last winter in Merritt Island, FL it was rather boring.
We then travelled to Port Lavaca to the lighthouse. It's the first lighthouse we've found that was "drydocked". It sits on land in the middle of town. It was moved there in 1979. It was still interesting to see and I've added to the pictures to my collection of lighthouses we've visited.
We have definitely explored this entire area. It's been a great week and we will try to return here in the future.
Tomorrow morning we are leaving Rockport and going south to Mission, TX to spend about a month with Reid & Debbie. On the way there we are planning to stop in Kingsville at King Ranch. Our truck is a King Ranch model and we've been wanting to visit there. This ranch is larger than the state of Rhode Island, so it should be something to see!
