September 8, 2015 - We knew we wanted to go back to the beach before we drove west toward the desert. Holly Beach was our initial destination but after checking some blog resources, we decided on Bolivar Peninsula just north of Galveston. Bolivar consists of mostly vacation homes but it also has 20+ miles of unrestricted beach! The dogs can play on it, you can camp on it and you can drive on it. It was totally awesome. Because of the heat and some questionable weather, we fell back on our trusty Passport America app and found a nice, full hookup RV park just a hop, skip and jump from the beach. Having a safe spot for the dogs which we explored on the scooter was just the ticket. We stayed at the Bolivar Peninsula RV Park in Crystal Beach where we were greeted by a sweet dog - always a good sign - and a happy host. We set up and immediately headed to the beach.
While the weather was iffy, we took our chances and made a run down to Jamaica Beach. This was our scooter's first ferry ride!
Full disclosure - the only bad thing about Bolivar was the biting dragon flies. They only were a problem at dusk and away from the beach, but they were awful when they did come out. Some people may call these dreadful creatures mosquitos, but if they are they are the pterodactyl version. They about carried us away. Even the dogs were scared to come out of the camper after dark!
But the beach was still amazing! Bayou played in the surf and Bleu puked up salt water...
The weather started getting ickier so after a couple of beautiful days (and terrifying nights), we started our westward journey...which included a ferry ride for the camper...another first!
