Hey, I've been there!
>
>
Not recently luckily. Apparently the place is currently overrun by 5 year
>
old's that are MS-13 members and whatnot, and dangerously disorganized ICE
>
officials..
>
>
Nope, I was there in 1974, calmer and gentler times and was just an
>
innocent birdwatcher on a long birding journey with my good buddy Curtis.It
>
was the last weeks of September.
>
>
We had just driven from Seattle to Brownsville Texas in a drive-away car.
>
Curtis, a consummate con artist, somehow talked the car guy into allowing
>
us ten days for what should have been a 4 day trip.The car was an Opel
>
Manta (sort of a poor mans 240z), Curtis used to have an Opel, and the
>
first thing he did was disconnect the odometer. I guess we were then
>
technically criminals.
>
>
Our modus operandi was to bird all morning, then drive to the next wildlife
>
refuge, usually arriving at night, birded all morning and on to the next.
>
We stopped at Leadbetter Point, then drove all night to Malhuer, then to
>
Bear River, spent a few days in Denver, then on to Bitter Lake. The last
>
very long night was across Texas, where doing 80mph on the interstate we
>
hit an Armadillo, which must have curled into a ball at the last minute and
>
sounded like we hit a concrete basketball - it sounded like half the
>
undercarriage of the little car got trashed. Don't know about the Armadillo
>
but the car was OK.
>
>
At some appropriate time we hooked up the odometer again to show some
>
realistic mileage and delivered the car to Brownsville early in the
>
morning. Then we caught a Greyhound back to McAllen, and by night were on a
>
local bus (an old rounded bus like they used to have in Seattle in the
>
60's) stopping occasionally to drop off someone on a farm road.
>
>
The bus was packed with what is currently referred to as "brown people",
>
all happily chattering away in high speed spanish. A pretty friendly crowd,
>
minding their own business.. Curtis and I the only white boys on board. But
>
then the bus stopped to pick up this guy at a dark spot on the road. White,
>
about the size of a refrigerator, dead eyes,and knife scars all over his
>
face, this was one bad-looking dude. The whole bus went silent and everyone
>
just kinda looked down at their knee. The hombre got off in a mile or two
>
without incident and everyone started talking again.
>
>
Curtis and I got off at our crossroad - to Santa Ana National Wildlife
>
Refuge - about a seven miles south hike with our backpacks pretty full. It
>
was a dark night, but as our eyes adjusted we noted that we were passing
>
through Orange groves - perfectly ripe although the skins were still green.
>
Feasting along the way, we came across Sugarcane fields - also ripe - and
>
ate plenty of that too. Off in the not so far distance a pack of big deep
>
voiced dogs started barking - uh oh - but we continued quietly down the
>
road, arriving at Santa Ana. It was dark and we set our tent up outside the
>
gate.
>
>
Packing up early, we were packed up before the refuge workers showed up -
>
all very nice folks who had no problem with us camping outside the gate,
>
off the road. We spent a couple of nights.
>
>
Well there we were at famous Santa Ana, although not as famous as now. No
>
paved trails (I just checked the website) or viewing towers, or people
>
either - we only saw about 4 people their each day. Yup, it was just dirt
>
trails through the Spanish-moss covered Texas brush.This won't be a total
>
laundry list of all the birds we saw, but did get to see Least Grebe, the
>
funky Chachalaca's, Green Jays, and loud Kiskadee Flycatchers all over the
>
place.
>
>
The trails were replete with the giant webs of Golden Silk Spiders - big
>
gnarly things- the webs about 3 ft across and walking into one is somewhat
>
akin to walking into a badminton net - they are pretty strong, We were
>
lucky to come across several big Indigo Snakes - supposedly the longest
>
North American snake- coiled neatly like stacks of black garden hose.
>
Armadillos rooting around.
>
>
At night, by the tent, the glowing eyes of Pauraques calling from the road,
>
and a magic show of fireflies in the woods. Great.
>
>
Next on the agenda was Galveston, where Curt's Aunt and Uncle lived. Very
>
nice people, they loaned us a car and we got to see all sorts of cool birds
>
and the largest snake I've ever seen out side a zoo - a giant Western
>
Diamondback Rattlesnake which stretched nearly clear across one lane of the
>
main island road - nearly 8 ft long and thick. We encouraged it off the
>
road from a safe distance. The telephone wires along this road were loaded
>
with Scissor-tail Flycatchers.At night Common Skimmers lit up in the
>
headlights.
>
>
Next stop Greenwich Connecticut and New England, but that's a whole other
>
story. Looking up Santa Ana, I did note a site re: The Border Wall and the
>
refuge, but after hearing all the outrageous news out of McAllen I was
>
already depressed. "I need to hear someone with some soul" I thought, so I
>
cranked on the Staple Singers and after a few tunes I felt a little
>
better,.Just sayin'.
