Gone Coastal

We are on a ferry going to Port Aransas,and meeting one coming our way.

Sunset from our R V park.




This entire Airstream trailer has been wrapped in a beach scene. The owner is the camp host at the resort we're staying in at Aransas Pass.



(A camp host is someone; not the owner; who manages the R V park, takes reservations, organizes activities etc. They usually get compensated with free rent and/or a small salary.)



This is the first trailer I've seen done this way. I once saw a motor home wrapped with a Jaggemeister label theme, but I figured it was a promotional vehicle owned by the company.



Turns out our host grew up in Thayer MO, close to my hometown. She swears she's been to Hartville many times -- and no one would make that claim to impress people. She then moved to K C and graduated from Grandview High School in 1966.



At a pot-luck dinner Thursday evening I sat next to a man from Harrisonville, MO and met a couple whose daughter just moved to Overland Park.



The beach scene trailer is surrounded by what the locals call "live oak". It passes as a tree here, it wouldn't at home.



On another topic, a cold front came through last night. Yesterday the temperatures were in the 80's and this morning it was 57 degrees. The natives are wearing parkas and knit caps, seriously.
