Finished dumping and left Crane's Mill 10:37. Arrived at Mustang Island gate at 2:22; short wait; hookups done by 3:02. The reason the drive took so long was that my GPS went to sleep on the job and let us head west on the loop around San Antonio, instead of going south to Corpus Christi. I was blindly trusting it to do its thing, and when I picked up the phone to see where we'd gotten to, I was shocked to find out where we were going. The detour wasted at least fifteen minutes. Then we had to stop for gas. It would have been a much shorter and pleasanter drive otherwise, but any drive that ends at ocean-side sand dunes is a good one.
The site was free already, so no problem with us being too early. There never does seem to be at places like this. It's a nice place. there could be a little shade and the beach could be a little closer, but I have to admit the dunes serve an important purpose in sheltering the park from storm surges as well as sheltering the beach goers from needing to look at stupid RVs.
Bob and T beat us here, of course. Not having as far to go, as much to do, and not making the stupid wrong turn. We drove down to look at the beach, walked along it a little, and killed time until supper. After supper it wasn't sunset yet, so I took Molly for another walk to the beach. Lovely.
