 Leaving to ride to Boca Chica
Leaving in the morning for Brownsville and then on the Boca Chica to check out Elon Musk’s Starbase..Hwy 4 that runs through his facilities ends in the sand..the plan is to hang a right on the beach and view where the Rio Grande dumps into the Gulf of Mexico..

Come on down!! I live about 30 miles from Boca Chica (45 driving miles), and have ridden down there several times. You can get right up close and personal, especially at the launch area. Quite the sight. And a nice twisty road after the checkpoint on Hwy 4, but a little beat up from truck traffic. Enjoy. Stay hydrated.

So I’m spending the night in Kenedy (graduated in ‘64 but haven’t returned since ‘67)..have you ridden your Spyder on the beach? I want to see the mouth of the Rio Grande but can’t walk that far...

Kenedy- as in, next to Karnes City? I like your route. Staying off the big roads.
I have not ridden mine on the sand. I know vehicles drive on the beach, but I don’t want the corrosion - or the possibility of getting stuck.
Would invite myself to ride out there with you, but I’m on a John Deere combine harvesting corn near Rio Hondo.

Mission kinda’ completed..saw some rockets and made the beach, but too much loose sand to attempt the Rio Grande..stopping today at the last remaining suspension bridge (Regency Bridge out of San Saba)..

Hope you didn’t get rained on while down here. Visited that suspension bridge last year (my sister lives down the road at Goldthwaite). It definitely moves when crossing in a Ford Expedition. Could you feel it on the RT?
