Marfa to Corpus Krispi

This section has been all about back road "short cuts" and critters.  We couldn't find the road we wanted so Ron decided to turn onto a Texas Farm Road.  Sounds official and looked great until it became smaller and smaller with increasing patches.  We saw some authentic Texas farms and some very confused farmers.  Not a lot of RV traffic. 



Turns out that Texans are really into importing exotic animals for hunting on their ranches.  We saw our first wild zebras and some sort of antelope!  Other sightings along the way include hawks, lots and lots of deer (Ron now wants a deer guard for the front of our truck), armadillos, javalena, wild small spotted gatos, and dolphins.  We stayed at Seminole Canyon and Choke Canyon State Parks and we are currently situated at Mustang Island State Park.  In an attempt to continue on the smaller, lesser traveled roads, we ended up on a ferry with our house.  It was pretty exciting to say the least.
