Revisiting Padre National Seashore & San Antonio Riverwalk

Class A Motorhome RV Living: Season 8 EP006 October 5-12, 2022
Get more of our stuff at paulandlorena.com/.
In this episode, we roll out of our free beach camping spot at Magnolia Beach, TX, and head down to Padre National Seashore.
Paul went out for a quick kiteboard session and after a visit from a park ranger, we found out that you are not allowed to kitesurf at Padre National Seashore. Oooops!
After a few days at Padre National Seashore, we headed to the San Antonio area and visited the world-famous San Antonio Riverwalk. We really enjoy walking in historic downtown San Antonio.
We hope you enjoyed the episode and we'll see you in the next one!

    OMG! We left Lake Medina in May 2020 after being held up for 6 weeks there because of the beginning of Covid. I can’t believe what has happened to the lake in less than 3 years! The beauty of the lake was actually a saving grace during that time. It’s shocking!

    Last time we were in San Antonio we were really enjoying our stay. We didn't do the river walk because Our Prime minister, Justin Trudeau said if you are Canadian you should come home. So...we did and just after we crossed back at Windsor, they closed the borders! Miss it!

Glad you got out on the water even for a little bit before busted by the Ranger. Lol Good job Lorena, leaving it cleaner than found. ❤ Medina Lake, how crazy is that!! It was a lake when we were there in 2020 (coming back home from The RV Thing…so much fun!) wonder what happened. Love your videos….keep them coming ❤

    Hi Paul, BTW there are almost 2.5 million white tail deer in just 4 counties in the Hill Country of Texas. I can them big dogs. LOL I use to for years, get 2 each year, for the meat. Those locks are every where, London Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge just to name two. There was a time that all shopping waws outside, then we had indoor malls, which is what everyone wanted. Now we want them outside again. People are so fickle. LOL Don

    Apparently, it's because kiting can be dangerous to beachgoers, if something goes wrong. And the only time things go really wrong is on the beach. Medina Lake was mind-blowing!!
