The weather today was great, no clouds and a high of 77f. just right for riding
We wanted to check out the local tourist areas today so we left around 9:30 and took the ferry right here in Aransas Pass over to Mustang Island (quick 5-6 minute ride). From there we entered onto the beach road right beside the Gulf Of Mexico. It was not busy at all. We travelled on it for about 5-10 miles when the road started to get softer to drive on so we took the next exit. It when on for miles.

A long beach
A lot of houses on stilts
This is the front of a tourist trap (yes, we stopped).
We then went over to Corpus Christi where we stopped for lunch and took a tour on the USS Lexington Aircraft Carrier from WWII. We checked it all out, going up and down stairs all afternoon (what a work out). One info. board stated it could generate enough hydro for 150,000 homes. It was complete with a mail rm, dentist, barber, OR, x-ray rm, cafeteria, galley, machine shop and sleeping quarters. A fully self contained ship.
