We ended up spending our 3 days "camping" in the free beach parking area several miles south of the Bob Hall pier in Corpus Christi, Texas (We're still on Padre Island but north of the National Seashore and just south of the Nueces County line.
The first evening, 23 August 2011 around 5 or 6 PM we were buzzed by an orange US Coast Guard helicopter and then circled again now lower and directly overhead. Someone inside had a fancy camera pointed at us. Too bad the pilot didn't land ... aerial photos would be nice!
From the beach we can see three offshore drilling platforms and several other heavy duty pipes arising out of the ocean. There's probably huge storage tanks submerged underwater to fill ships coming and going. So, now we suspect where the tar and mats of oil on the beach come from. Yes, the beach here is not one of the cleaner beaches we've been to. In fact, it looks like the trash on the beach has been accumulating for years.

Looking At The Tar

Thomas and Didymus have been in Sea Bean Heaven ... Take a look at their discoveries:
Their: "I Love & Want To Hug You" Sea Bean
Their: "Horns Of Daniel's Ram" Sea Bean
Note: Daniel 8:3-20 describes the two horns of the ram as the Seventh World Kingdom. The horn which comes up last comes up higher. The two horns (powers) represent Christianity and Islam, the Two Witnesses (Daniel 5:25-28; Revelation 11:3-11).
