Newsletter 9-15-14 – Rocks!

With the beach being a mess all summer long, many folks have asked me “what is there to do on Galveston now?” I have many answers, most of which do not fall into the Galveston Tourism Guide Books. For example; don’t pay for a tour to see dolphins in the bay, take the Bolivar ferry, it’s free, there is more room, it’s easy and the dolphins are still there. Another suggestion is rocks… yes I said ROCKS. Seawall at Fort Crockett, there are rocks and people have been stacking them for more generations than we can count.

If you do decide to stack your own rocks, I suggest Oyster season, you know, those months that have an "R" in them. It's too hot to stack rocks other than then. All of these rock stacks went up and have personal meanings to the stackers. It is therapeutic.
