Winnie Inn & RV Park, Winnie, TX: 3/7-9
Okay. I'll admit it -- we're Facebook addicts. Therefore, we like to have good, strong, reliable WiFi, which is difficult to judge from 100 miles away. We check out RV park reviews, but they frequently have contradictory opinions. So we often just go with gut feeling and hope for the best. This would have been a good choice if we had not been put in the very last row, as far from the WiFi antenna as possible. The signal was decent during the day but gradually faded to nothing as the evening progressed, at which point we would traipse up to the office and finish up there.
We came here in order to visit Anahuac Natl Wildlife Refuge. The first day we decided to drive over to the town of Anahuac and make a loop back through the refuge to get information for a visit the next day. We had an enjoyable drive, visiting some more interesting waterfront areas and even drove 25 miles out to desolate Smith Point, where we ate our lunch in the truck due to rain & wind outside. After stopping at the Anahuac NWR Visitor Center and getting the info on the park, we headed home, planning to return the next day. However, the next day we realized we were EXHAUSTED after 3 really long days of sightseeing, and we just couldn't imagine anything that would be better than staying home! The cats approved of this decision.
