[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 753249, member: 9198"] Mitch, I grew up in Corpus and have traveled many times between Corpus and S.A.. Wages will be lower than where you are now for unskilled workers, mostly Hispanic. As far as being able to communicate that depends on the individual. Most Hispanics I deal with are honest as the day is long, work hard, never complain, very friendly and they seem to appreciate the work. But it would be to your advantage to learn Spanish. Sometimes instructions and directions get lost in the translation so if you want to be understood clearly you need to learn it. It's not that far between CC and SA, as far as things go in Texas. We never thought a minutes of driving from CC to Beeville on a week night for some good Mexican food . You can leave CC at 4:30p and be in your hotel room in SA before dark (in the Summer). The land is pretty darn flat closer to CC. Lots of farming going on, most of it is open range - no fences. About 60 miles out IH 37 toward SA you will start getting into ranching country with rolling hills, lots of Oak and Mesquite trees and LOTS of deer (whitetail). The closer you get to SA the more rugged the land gets with limestone hills, more wildlife (deer, hogs, 'yotes, Bobcats and the like and maybe a few rattlesnakes) with a lot of scrub oaks and cedar trees. It's dryer in the SA/Austin area and most farming endeavors will have irrigation. Are you folks relocating to Texas? If yes, welcome. I think you'll like except maybe for the Summers. It's hotter than hades. [/QUOTE]
