March 6, 2018 Padre Island national seashore $10 Park entrance fee. Free is you have a senior access pass. $8/night, $4 if you have an access pass. Odometer reading 55893, $158.37. $2.69/gallon. Bought 5 gallons extra to use for fuel while boondocking. Today we drove 5 hours to get here. Because it is first come first serve, we disconnected the car and I went ahead of Norm driving the Rv. When I arrived it was down pouring. Much to my surprise there were sites available in the Malaquite campground. I picked one out and paid for 6 days at the kiosk. The site I picked turned out to be the best one. There are no hook ups. We were facing the ocean and could see it through an opening in the dunes. We are parked on pavement. I thought I had hit the jackpot. Site 31. I then left and drove 30 minutes to the nearest Walmart. I bought alot of food. We are restarting our diets and need to be prepared. I then bought a bottle of Texas bourbon whiskey. Then I went home cooked dinner. We walked the beach a short ways. Tomorrow we will explore the park. But, so far it is huge. It is the largest undeveloped barrier island in the world.
