This picture is the Galveston skyline from Crystal Beach. I only realized it could be seen from here today. I had a couple of other pictures to put on but that feature seems to have stopped working.

One of the pictures was of some marks in the sand showing where I got stuck for a while. I whipped out my shovel and a nice man helped me smooth out the sand behind my wheels and I was out in no time. The answer is - stay on the dark sand as it is hard enough to drive on.

We walked for a couple of hours and picked up some shells. Scooby tried jumping straight up in an effort to catch a seagull. The other dogs walked calmly along sniffing at stuff on the beach.

Then a quick stop at the touristy food store - bananas at 59 cents/lb - gas at $3.19/gal. - and picked up some cold cuts and crackers. I will try to stay away from there.

We may go to the beach again tomorrow. It seems there is a beach pass required for parking on the beach. Maybe I should get one before going again.
