Ha. I was in high school and there that year and every year after until 90-91? Slept on the beach a few times during spring break - don't recommend it. If I spotted your Jimmy we probably talked. Always wanted one.

Born in Corpus late 60's - family always beached 25+ miles past the 4wd marker on north end of S Padre island every summer until I was 8 or 9. Way past little shell and big shell. Nothing out there but us and a coast guard chopper every few hours. Dad fished for shark mostly. One time us kids got him to pop a bunch of man-o-war all over the beach rolling home in the Bronco. He must've had too many beers and ignored all the work he'd have to do. You never heard so much cursing - he had to lay up under that truck and hand remove some of those man-o-war and they were still stinging. I'll never make that mistake.

Thanks for all the advice fellas. I'll take some pics and share.
