South Padre Island

TexasOPUS OP4Robert Salazar ยท @Coastal_gxspiTowed by Lexus GX460December 2023

Robert celebrated his birthday the coastal Texas way: towing the OP4 behind his GX460 through Port Mansfield East Cut and along Padre Island National Seashore, with dunes accessible at low tide and the Gulf on the doorstep.

"Family and Friends join me in this epic adventure. We fish, camp, off-road, explore, and have so much fun."

The crew mixes camping styles, from rooftop tents to car camping, but the OP4 held the anchor position, stable on shifting beach sand for the whole stay.
