We arrived at Isla Blanca park on South Padre Island about a half hour after check-in time, and the line was just a few people deep. Rumor has it about 200 people are checking in some time today. We set up camp this time as we will be here for a longer period. This just means taking the bikes and bike rack off and putting out the rug and chairs. There are elaborate patio set-ups around us, one with a patio heater on it. Our home-sweet-home has to be simple due to lack of space. And the mosquitoes are out even during the day, so using the chairs may have to wait. It was so nice to drive over the bridge with no construction on it this year!
