Sabine Pass Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Due to work I don't have an opportunity to get out and shoot for about 5 months out of the year.  This is the first shot I've uploaded in awhile.
Had a chance to get away and travel this past weekend and went off the beaten path to a place I've always wanted to go.  Texas Highway 87 used to run along the coast from Sabine Pass down to Point Bolivar.  Many of hurricane have washed this road out time after time and it was rebuilt over and over again until finally in 1990 the state of Texas said no more.  In places it has been totally reclaimed by the gulf and mother nature but there are a few reaming spots where the old road still peaks through the sand and grass.
It takes a hike but is pretty cool to see the old remains in this remote stretch of Texas.

Had a chance to get away and travel this past weekend and went off the beaten path to a place I've always wanted to go.  It has always amazed me how nature will find a way to reclaim whatever man has built.  In the middle of this deserted old highway with an abundance of brown, dried up vegetation there stood this one incredibly green weed making it's way through the remains of abandoned Texas 87.

6 months after Hurricane Rita hit the coast of Texas on HWY 87.  This use to be a large pier.

This past weekend had spectacular blue skies and the bright golden color of the dried cane along the side of the old road made for great contrast.
