[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1706943, member: 18945"] Spent several days with some friends camped on the beach at Port Aransas back around 2003-2004. Never again. Might have been ok if wife and I had been alone but I don't think so. Spent 2 weeks drilling a well on some ranch just East of and between Seadrift and Port O'Conner in the 80s. I think the sign said Pitchfork but it's been too long now. The best thing about Seadrift back then was the 'all you can eat seafood buffet they had at a cafe there in town. I ate there every day. It was $12 back then. Probably $30 now if it's even still there. I stopped in a little bar just west of that cafe one afternoon and ordered a beer. Not many people in it, all locals and after a few minutes, a woman came over and sat down next to me and started talking, asking who I was etc, how long I would be in town etc. I thought I was doing good then she went back over where she had been sitting and I heard her tell her friends they could go ahead and unload the boat that night and I was just an oilfield hand on the rig out of town. Evidently, drug running was a common thing there and they didn't trust strangers. [/QUOTE]
