We were thrilled to pull out of Port Mansfield and head toward Harlingen TX. We picked Tropic Winds RV Resort (Encore) for our next stop. It was the nicest and friendliest of all the Encore resorts.
The dog park was a hit and the Beagles made lots of friends!
Our spot on Sunshine St. We were at the very end across from the dog park and bird sanctuary. They had a rule not to put out bird or hummingbird feeders.
Out and about, we kept passing a train with turbine propellers.
So we stopped to take some pictures. The propellers were loaded from the train cars onto trucks to be taken to their destination. There were other components but the propellers were the most impressive. Certainly it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience because a week later they were gone.
Most of the Winter Texans were pulling out in March and April, so by the time we left, there were lots of empty spaces. Activities stop the end of March as do the first-responders. There are a few folks who stay year-round, mostly in the Park models.
The same holds true of the other parks we stayed in around the Rio Grande Valley.
Stay tuned for Part II at Tropic Winds for more of our adventures!
