I was there in 1969. Being from south Texas I ran into the surf overjoyed to be out of the car and on the beach. Totally shocked how cold the water was. Much different than Mustang Island! We took shelter from the wind behind a HUGE driftwood tree. Built a small fire and had chili dogs. It was fantastic. I was 10.

We took the trip in a black 1966 GTO pulling a little Scotty trailer. From Dripping Springs Tx . We had friends in Poulsbo. We left home the day after Neil and Buzz landed on the moon. Made a big loop, Carlsbad, Zion, La Push, Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, then beautiful Stamford Tx, ( visited cousins) then back home before school started.

That sounds like an incredible trip! Visiting any one of those places would be a great experience all by itself.

Yes! I was very blessed! The United States in 1969 was a very beautiful place. I would suggest the United States in 2023 is just as beautiful.
