The Skimmer is aptly named, it can get into and out of places the other tour boats only dream of going. All told I personally saw 28 Whooping Cranes. 11 a.m. we return to the marina. A round of applause salutes Captain Ted. I checkout of the Sandollar and hit the road.
Next stop is closer to Houston.
That's for tomorrow. I overnighted just outside of Katy and planned on visiting the rice fields this a.m. however news reports of a police search for armed suspects in and about Katy made me change my plans. I continued through Houston and headed north on Route 45 to Jones State Forest the morning of Day Six. I drove to Jone's road and parked in the limited parking area around a small picnic pond. It was still drizzling and cold.
