No furnace this morning, clear skies and around 65F.
Today is Presidents Day down here, which is a federal holiday celebrating the birthdays of two of the countries early presidents, Washington and Lincoln. In celebration of the day we hung around doing nothing in the morning (how unusual!)
Occasionally there has been a light aircraft buzzing around the bay, a couple of days ago Lyn saw it come in very low and head inland. Turns out there is a small airport just behind the campsite. We (I) decided to go find it, it looks as tho it may be an old WW2 training field, most of it has now been converted to farmland, but there are still some old hangars there. The runway only appears to be around 35ft wide and is somewhat overgrown, it also has a small public road crossing it with a stop sign on both sides of the runway. No aircraft were seen, however 20 minutes after we left we saw an aircraft landing there while we some miles away.
After the excitement of the airport we headed down to a wildlife area which is only a couple of miles from us on the causeway that crossed Corpus Christi Bay. There were very few birds there, however we did see a small blue heron which was a first. We also saw an aircraft landing at the airport mentioned above!
Back at the campsite we noticed a new palm tree in front of our neighbours RV.

The picture is pretty bad, as I didn’t want to use flash. We have found that campers at different resorts have different ways of “decorating” their lots, here it is tacky, illuminated palm trees.
