PINS run? (1 Viewer)

[The Phoenician]

I'm gauging interest in doing a PINS run either on May 30-31 or June 6-7. Probably drive all the way to mile 60 camp overnight and come back. Any interest?

Padre Island National Seashore (U.S. National Park Service)

Protecting sixty-six miles of wild coastline along the Gulf of Mexico, the narrow barrier island is home to one of the last intact coastal prairie habitats in the United States. Along the hypersaline Laguna Madre, unique tidal mud flats teem with life. Native Americans, Spanish explorers and...

It certainly has peaked my interest. I'm not sure which weekend I can pull off at this point though.

Edit: How is ground camping? What's the restroom situation like? Sorry I'm a noobie on this run apparently.

Ground camping is sandy but doable. Bathroom is in the dunes.

Padre Island National Seashore. Just a drive down to the coast and then down North Padre Island beaches.

I’ll be down in Port Aransas next weekend (30-31st) and would be keen to do PINS on Saturday, but wouldn’t be in for the camping portion.

I’ll be there either way, so just let me know if you decide to head down.

I may have to sit this one out, at least for this coming weekend. Just got a call this morning from work to help set up another POE to screen for COVID-19. I'm traveling this evening and not sure when I'll be back.

 

[KennyBob]

I'm still mulling over whether not I'm going. May not decide until day of.

It looks like I'm out this weekend as well. Got overridden by the wife apparently. I'm down to try to make this happen in the near future. I'm also wanting to hit up hiddend falls soon to scratch the off-road itch left by the absence of roundup.

 

[Aussiecruiser82]

I’m out for tomorrow as well. Snuck down to mile marker 20 with my inlaws family today.

Would be interested in a Hidden falls trip soon too
