Very good video Sir, like the view

 

Haha can see my kid swimming out there. There is probably a good couple minutes of her flipping off the camera. Because: Teenager Humor

 

Ha! That's awesome! Thank you for sharing the video.

That was me with my boy on the bigass yellow duck!

 

Here’s my Zapruder film of part of the Horse parade…

I wish I had gotten footage of them on the outward leg, that dude was wayyyyyy too drunk to be operating a horse

 

Dang, we left just before that. We missed it!

 

Thanks for sharing pics and vids everyone! Looks like a good time!

What time did everyone leave on Sunday? And what percentage of y'all camped out on the beach? And for those of you who did camp, did you camp Fri and Sat, or just Sat? Sorry for all the questions... I'm planning for next year!

 

about 5-10% of us camped. Most camped Sat and left Sunday. I dont think anyone camped Friday and Saturday this year.

 

Most folks left by 9a Sunday. I think about 30% camped Saturday night, several people camped Friday night but not nearly as many.

 

Anyone else get bit by mites?

 

I got a few little bites, nothing major though. I slept on a cot next to my truck too

 

This is what was there when I woke up Sunday morning. Not sure if anyone was there Friday night

 

I know mic_sierra with the sweet trailer was there Friday night, I think a couple of others also. I got a gnarly bite on my foot I think was from a sand mite, wasn’t from sleeping tho since I was in the penthouse suite…

 

I camped out on the beach Friday night through Sunday. Since I'm coming from SA I figured I need to make it worth it. Gives me a full day on Saturday to relax and have fun with you fine folks.

Edit. I'm sorry to the person that came by while I was operating the drone and I wasn't social, I was a little nervous and trying not to crash over water.

 

Glad everyone had a good time.

Spent many a summer weekend at Padre Island back in the 70's. Would have loved to have made this meet. When I tell people here in NC that we drive on the beach in Texas, they look at me like I'm crazy.
Best weekend ever was 4th of July Bi-Centennial weekend in 1976. Hope everyone had a blast.

As a side Note, Edna High School class of 1975.

 

Great pictures! I see meeeee!

 

When people tell me they cant drive on the beach I look at them like they’re crazy.
