Rod Dawg and DancingwithBulls thanks again for all the info... I think we can find the spot. I'll be down tonight sometime. And if we can't find you guys by sun up we'll call that 1-800 number ForeverFishing suggested! LOL Hope everyone has a safe trip out and see you on the water!!!

Thanks RD! You have been so helpful to me and here you go again!

I agree w/FlaFish, this should be a sticky at the top of BTB!

Question: has anyone experimented coming from Spring/The Woodlands using I45 to Galveston, take the ferry and head out to HI? Is it about the same in time/distance?

[WhiskeyBravo]

I drive from kingwood and use 45, but have never taken I-10 out...Does anyone know which way is faster

[dancingwithbulls]

I-10 is faster if you miss the ferry. I've tried both ways from kingwood and i usually get to the ferry with a small crowd or just miss it. If you hit the ferry early enough it's pretty close to the same distance. I-10 is quite a boring drive though. Nice maps Rod, you need to get out there soon and get those detour stickers off your yak!

[Facehook]

I always take I-45 to the Ferry in the morning, but always take I-10 on the trip home to avoid the traffic and wait.

[jimmys]

Do I need a parking sticker or beach pass for that area?

We leave from Montgomery and Dawg's way is definately the best route. Takes us much longer going through Galveston due to the ferry.

[northpaw]

Great info Rod.

We've got to get you back to the water soon, you've got too much free time on your hands.

Waiting for TJ to add all the beverage stops along the route. Maybe Fla.......... errr someone (ahem) with that type of experience could hi lite the AARP friendly locations as well

[Redeye]

Excellent Job!

I-10 is faster than the ferry in almost all instances. I would reccomend Exiting HWY 61 in Hankamer and heading south to fm 562 then continuing on around by the Anahuac Wildlife Refuge and Whites Ranch Road dead ends into 124 right North of the ship channel bridge. If you need to stop by bodeaux's though you need to go through Winnie. I come from liberty and I drive this way and can be at the barricades in 45 minutes.
