Ep. 124: Rockport-Fulton, Texas | RV travel camping
The twin cities of Rockport and Fulton line the western shoreline of Aransas Bay along the Texas Gulf Coast, and we visit the area with our RV in this episode of Grand Adventure.
Tourism is a prosperous industry in the region, with visitors arriving to fish, bird or sight-see. Given the location of Aransas bay, shipping has always been a major industry. Following the Civil War, the meatpacking industry became a major source of income for ports on the bay, especially Rockport and Fulton.
We'll tour the area including the harbor, dining and the Fulton Mansion State Historic Site, while staying at Drifters Resort with full-hookup sites including cable TV and WiFi. Most of the park's RV sites are large enough to accommodate a boat trailer along with your RV. There's plenty of room between sites, and the grounds are meticulously manicured.
Filmed: October 13-15, 2019

Rockport, TX Reunion
Rockport, TX is a city which I used to visit my aunt and uncle all the time when I was younger before they moved out to Colorado. I last was in Rockport back in 2009, so this is my first visit to the city since then. I get to visit the Big Tree in Goose Island State Park, the Fulton Mansion (the outside only as the interior is closed due to Hurricane Harvey), the beach in Rockport, and downtown Rockport. I also drive by the house which my aunt and uncle lived in. Rockport is still recovering from Hurricane Harvey (you can see a lot of damage still), but the recovery is going strong!

Visit the Mansion online at
The Queen Anne Mansion, constructed in Carthage, Mo. for Curtis Wright, was built in 1891 as an enticement to lure his wife and family to Carthage, Missouri from their hometown of Connersville, Indiana. Curtis Wright brought along his European furniture craftsmen to carve a grand staircase, elaborate fireplace surrounds and exquisitely detailed moldings and trim. These masterpieces remain in the Mansion today, along with the original Moon window and leaded and stained glass windows. Each room is appointed with elegant antiques and furnishings evoking the feeling of Victorian splendor.
Remarkably, the Queen Anne was disassembled and moved to Eureka Springs in 1984, where it was expertly reconstructed as a tourist attraction (tour home).
The Queen Anne Mansion underwent a major restoration from 2006-2010 and reopened as a museum and event venue in May 2010. Since then, more than 15,000 visitors, area residents, curators and historians from all over the United States and abroad have been drawn to admire the results of the extraordinary restoration. In 2011, The Queen Anne Mansion was awarded Business of the Year as a museum attraction by the Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce. It was closed to the public in December 2011 as further work began in preparation for its use as a Private Residence Club, complete with a professional staff to provide a 5-star level of service.
While the restoration has preserved the atmosphere of turn-of-the-century living, the state-of-the-art updates throughout the property provide the comfort, beauty and functionality expected by today's travelers. This includes installation of high-end kitchens, luxurious bathrooms in each suite, and in the Kelley House, a private spa for owners and their guests.

Gulf Coast Fishing - Rockport, Texas
We spent the day in Rockport, Texas fishing for redfish and speckled trout in Aransas Bay. The water was the calmest I have ever seen in that area and it made for some beautiful boating. We even hooked into a school of redfish at the end of the day that made it really hard to stop fishing.

Hurricane Harvey Recovery: Two Years Later in Fulton, TX
The Town of Fulton, Texas will mark the second anniversary of Hurricane Harvey this weekend with a milestone in its recovery. The town, devastated by Harvey on August 25, 2017, will begin rebuilding the 1,200-foot Fulton Fishing Pier this Saturday alongside the new Fulton Convention Center, which workers began erecting late last month.
The Convention Center and the Fishing Pier next door were two main drivers of local tourism, with tourism and the oyster industry being the largest contributors to Fulton’s economy. The reopenings are slated for January.
