PATI AND LEROY'S TRAVELS: SEAWIND RV RESORT

Sea Wind RV Park Entrance

The Sea Wind RV Resort is located about three miles from Riviera,TX. This county park is situated on Baffin Bay, the second saltiest inlet in the world.
We were cautioned by other guests about the salty air wreaking havoc on bicycle sprockets and chains.
Use the water for washing clothes, washing dishes and showering, but don't drink the water!

Upon arrival we met a couple who is new to our local RV group. They are the reason we came to Sea Wind RV. Tim and Terri are very hospitable and very helpful with campground activities and local points of interest. They continue to educate us about this area as well as birds and animals in this area.

A Blue Indigo snake supposedly has taken up residence in the campground. It eats rattlesnakes and can grow up to nine feet but it is the largest non-venomous snake in North America.

Texas has long been one of the country's only producers of uranium and South Texas has been a hub for uranium mining. The metal, derived from ancient volcanoes is found in soluble form in aquifers. The mining is done through a process called "in-situ" leaching, in which oxygenated water is sent into the aquifers to dissolve the uranium. The fluid that comes back up runs through resin pellets that clamp onto the uranium. The resin, which is reusable, gets transported to facilities which remove the uranium and turn it into yellowcake.
