March 11 - Lake Corpus Christi

I thought I'd better include a photo of the lake.

This building at Lake Corpus Christi was built by the CCC.

March 6 - Geocaching again

We'd planned to go out and find two caches this morning but the day was so beautiful and we were having so much fun we kept going until it was time for lunch.  We had an excellent lunch at the Sandia Cafe in Sandi, TX.

This stone in the Sandia Cemetery is so sad.

The Cemetery on the Hill

One of the coolest things about geocaching is the history you come across.

The Hanging Tree.  Note the narrow tree lined road we had to take to get to it.

Bob and France and their first geocaching find.  It is at a hanging tree in the area where an innocent woman was hanged in 1830.  The woman was pardoned long after her death.

March 6 - Mathis Methodist Church

Pretty little church and nice people.  The outside of the church looks like a castle but I didn't get a photo of it.

March 5 - Corpus Christi geocache

Galen looking for a geocache in the Rose Hill Cemetery in Corpus Christi.  A previous cacher said he noticed that he and the baby who is buried here shared the same birth dates but 65 years apart and it freaked him out a bit.  Yes, Galen did find it.  We found about half a dozen caches in this cemetery and a couple more at the cemetery next door.

March 3 -Snoopy's & Lake Corpus Christi State Park

The eight of us went to Snoopy's in Corpus for lunch on a beautiful day.

Our little section of the state park for a few days.  Janie and Bob, on the right, and Liz and Norm, on the left, rolled out first.  Frances and Bob, middle left, stayed another four days and we were left alone for one more day.  The park is wonderful!  It is so quiet and peaceful and there is a nice lake to sit by and trike around.

Feb 24 - Port Isabel Cemetery

Finally got a chance to visit this colorful cemetery.

We liked this.

However, the welcome signs on this stone were a bit disconcerting!

We stopped on the way home to grab a cache.  Galen does not normally wear his hat under his shirt.  LOL!  But it was a really, really windy day and he didn't want it sailing off into the Laguna Madre.  The cache is under the board where he is pointing.

Feb 9 - Leaky Pipes

We were told a different dredging company was used this year.

I wonder if they will use this company next year.  The South Padre Island was a mess.  There were places on the beach so washed out by the leaks, we couldn't walk across without getting our feet wet so had to backtrack and find another way off the beach.
