Another Night in Winnie

We headed out again today with the Jeep down to the Bolivar Peninsula. Heading south out of Winnie we crossed a couple of large bridges to get there. After we got there we discovered miles of empty beaches like this.

We spent quite a while there walking on the beach, and then found this old fort site. It was called Fort Travis and was built after WWI. There are a few of these gun batteries left standing there. The guns were mounted at each end of the batteries. This the back side of the larger one.

This is the view of the same one from the gulf side.

This is the smaller one.

There were a few of these located around the site.

This one was located on the edge of the water.

The gun mount at the end of the smaller one.

A row of colorful fishing boats near the fort.

Next was a ferry ride to Galveston Island. We had to wait here for awhile for the ferry.

And here it comes.

Loaded aboard and on the way.

Another ferry passing the other way

Riding comfortably!

There was a motorhome on the other side and a school bus behind us. We counted about 50 vehicles aboard.

The Jeep GPS says we are on the right track.

We pulled in next to this one and unloaded.

We had a late lunch on Galveston Island and then headed back to Winnie across this bridge.
