The Reset / by Dave Hileman

Yes, I am back. A good marshal does not flinch at every obstacle. I have reformatted my internal hard drive and will Press On Regardless. (POR) Fortitude is one of my more outstanding qualities. Now, I need to figure out how to move us to the True West and leave this ocean bird watching to the birds. Next in line is more Ice Cream, we are seriously lacking and that is intolerable. Next, I need to get my hat, my fringy vest, a new badge and 2 Colt six-shooters in matching leather holsters with fancy engraving or whatever they do. I think I want an ice cream cone on one and a latte on the other. That’ll be cool. We did get out of Dodge (just an old cowboy saying we were not in Dodge or at least I don’t think so) but it is dark and we are parked in a grove of trees. Typical of the Driver. Where did you stay? Under a pecan tree. Snicker. 

Dunes @ Dusk at Padre Island National Seashore. What a magical place. It is NPS unit #309. Absolutely loved this one.

On the Gulf - and for $7 a night. Why didn't we stay two weeks.

And a gorgeous sunrise to start the day. We had a couple of adventures but all ended well.
