Day 1
After hanging out in Bay City for a few days I headed out towards the Blessing Hotel about 27 miles down the road. My purpose of going down to the Blessing Hotel is to spend the night in this very cool, historic hotel in blessing Texas. Also I was meeting David Canada for lunch the next day at the hotel. I've ate lunch here probably about a dozen times, they have a great meal there, served cafeteria style.  
On my way down to Blessing Texas. I mapped out five geocaches, I found three out of five geocaches which was pretty cool. I also stopped in Markham, Texas to check out this very cool 1920 Oil Well Pumping Rig. 
In 1920, near Clemville, Texas, J.S. Abercrombie Mineral Company put this pumping rig into operation on a new oil well at a location west of present El Dorado Road. In 1927 the well went dry, and the pumping rig was not used again.

Day 2
After a great night at the Blessing Hotel, David Canada arrived around 11:30 AM and we went and had lunch. After lunch, I took him over to Markham Texas to see the 1920 Oil Well Pumping Rig (He may add it as a stop for the Motorcycle Grand Tour Of Texas). He had it back home, and I had it south to explore and find a place to stay for the night. In Palacios Texas I ran into this guy named Magnificent Steve and he built this Banana Car that he's been riding all over the country for the last two years.
While I was in Palacios Texas I stopped by to see the Fishermen’s Memorial. The statue of Jesus Chris took six months for the order to be filled and have it shipped whole from Vietnam. It is 12 tons and stands an impressive 15-foot tall.
Headed South to Magnolia Beach, which is just south of Port Lavaca Texas. I found that you can camp for free on the beach for 14 days. I decided to stay here for the night, I found a place to park my Motorcycle & Trailer next to the ocean. It was an awesome view, and I had a great stay.

Day 3
After my awesome views, and my night at Magnolia Beach, I decided to head up to Victoria Texas, and find a cheap hotel because of the weather (Rain & Cold) that was coming. When I arrived in Victoria, found a Motel 6 for $35 a night. 
The last three days of my travels have been awesome! my stay here at the motel will help me edit my videos and my post.
