Adopted on 07/30/2009 by Purtee from Shortypen On a beach in the Tres Palacios / Matagorda bay.

*shortypen* If you want a nice stretch of beach that is fairly private, yet close to civilization, this is it. I sailed out here with some friends and we camped overnight. Great anchorage, it protects from the North, East, and South which are the directions of the prevailing winds.

*Purtee* After adopting this cache I went to reestablish this cache. After many storms/hurricanes the beach where the cache sat was washed away. The old location was washed away and the coordinates were changed to current location. For the historians of caches the old coordinates were N28 35.172 W096 13.771.

For the wildlife enthusiast, this place is booming with wildlife. When I was a young man, I remember seeing wildlife flourishing around this area. As time passed it became rare to see much of anything. August 13th 2009 I went to this location and could not believe, in such a short time, among the many birds I saw hogs 5, deer 3, rabbits many, coyotes 2 and a bobcat. Take your camera and be ready for that rare opportunity photo. While you’re on the beach look back toward the land and you should see the abundance of wild life. Needless to say, fishing form this beach will produce some of the best fishing you have seen in some time. Nature maintains this beach in a natural way (little to no trash) please help her keep it this way always remember CITO.

Pack your boat with camping gear and enjoy a nice peaceful weekend with nature.

November 27, 2004 by jemfisherman (69 found) I took my wife, two sons (3 and 5) and my parents, for a day out exploring. We found this one and enjoyed playing on the beach. TNLN. There is a lot of oyster shell in the water, so wear shoes if you go in the water. We all had a great time thanks to looking for your geocache. Thanks. [view this log]
