Padre Island National Seashore

Late this morning

finally finished

the bed frame

the cut pads - 

jettisoning one

because the tape split

and I don't want to deal with it now.

Cans of food squirreled away

inventoried

waiting for KJ to come home

and tell us where the stove is.

Late now, the office

will be closed

by the time we get there.

We leave anyway

down to Corpus Christi

following the signs.

The hut is closed

the gate is open

we turn into the first campground we see

Bird Island Basin

pull up next to an RV bigger

than some apartments

I've had.

Late night run to the outhouse

the brilliant full moon

spills enough light

to read by.
