There were 10 of us camping at Coleto Creek: LindaBW, Susan, SandyS, KimF, Flo, Lisa Mc (hubby Ray joined her on Sat), Gloria and a couple from Houston that have floated with his before: Sheila and her hubby Barry. They stayed in one of the cabins at the park.
Newbie to kayaking Flo, took her first trip down the San Antonio River! What a beautiful day to float, the highs were 50s, low 60s. Sometimes a cool breeze would hit us and I’d think “on no, I didn’t bring a jacket” and then the wind would stop. Floating down the river were Flo, LindaBW, KimF, Sleila, Barry, and me. Following us down the river (or could have been more than one) was a lively kingfisher. (Photo attached).
We stopped by Goliad Brewery on the way back to the campground (well, truth be told, it wasn’t on the way, but…….) for a quick taste of the local brew. I hear the local DQ had some TOWNies visit also.
The weather turned out to be perfect. Cool at night, but the great campfires kept us warm. This was a better campground than the state park (not much road noise) although more expensive. The premium sites (waterfront) were $45/night, but I would pay it again. We could launch kayaks from any of our waterfront sites. We should visit again just to kayak and fish. There is a nice fishing pier and a boat dock, too.
On Sunday morning, one group went into town for breakfast, Lisa & Ray had what looked like a great breakfast with biscuits (what – no gravy?), and a few of us walked around the beach area from one cove to the other.
I’ve also attached a sunrise photo taken from my campsite. (Photos are also included in Meetup as well as my FB page.) Hopefully the photos will come through for you in this email.
Thanks for joining me! It was another great camp out! (Aren’t they all, though?)
