Did I mention the Sunsets?

The Night Sky is magnificently dark thanks to this remote location, far from city light pollution. If anyone has an 80mm short tube refractor scope they are not using and would like to donate…

Since we live on an imperfect planet, here is the evil magic.

The bad

The rip currents, the dead wildlife, the small fish killed and wasted by fishermen seine netting for bait, and last but not least the mosquitoes.

The bad1

No fires allowed. There was an outbreak at Aransas Wildlife Refuge, quickly extinguished, that filled the sky for a time. The squiggles in the sand are snake tracks. It is encouraged that all fish remains, even the shells from your fresh dead shrimp, be thrown back into the river to support the ecosystem.

Just one word for the "Good Magic" ... marvelous. Those sunsets are spectacular.
