I once found what I thought was a missile down past big shell. Called in to the park hq and they sent rangers down. They assured me it was a tow behind target, but then they called the navy to collect it.

Hurricane Allen. I was living in Rockport for only a week moving from New Mexico was told to evacuate. I thought what the hell am I doing here. Was living out of a rented U-Haul because I still hadn't found an apartment. And almost 40 years later I'm still here. |

Back in the late '70s we found 300ft of 2" hose with couplers . It belong to Air and Pump company here in C.C.. The hose had fallen of one of the Chevron rigs
that were in production at the time. Those rigs were one of my favorite snapper holes and then they took them. Dumb government snowflakes.
In the '80s we found a bale of weed. Don't know who it belonged to and didn't care. LOL!

Driving around the 23MM we met an old timer that had neckless made from 3 gold coins wrapped in old ship nails that he said he found at the 54 MM. They where cool campers down for 2 weeks. the coolest thing was the wrapped 20ft bamboo poles with 4 o/t classic Penns. They had ice management down to a sience (before yeti) Dry ice newspaper and survival blankets
I spent hours digging a boat out with generator and water pump (long story )
Tyler would not like me to discuss this again 
friends found a bait stand sign after Katrina and returned it
bottle of old tequila
