U.S. Coast Guard patrol presence on Padre Island is greater than we have seen in years past.
This short video clip was taken at sundown at the Bob Hall Pier. Our fourteen day stay limit had been reached and we moved out of the National Seashore’s Malaquite campground to the Padre Balli campground, right in front of the Pier.
The much photographed and uniquely shaped 
water tower with the sea turtle painted on it is barely visible on the horizon.
Satellite dish and beach treasure bucket are on the ground, were’ home at Padre Balli county park and campground. Click on the photo to make it larger for better detail, and in the background you can see just how close we are to this fishing pier of some note.
Betty’s family came here all of the time when they lived here as children.

Given his direction of travel, I expect that he was heading for the Naval Air Station at Flower Bluff, just across the Laguna Madre from where the video was taken.
