Texas is the epicenter for oil in the US. Starting at the Texas Energy Museum, we saw outstanding displays of how oil wells are drilled, how the oil was created, and how it is broken into different products, called cracking. This is a highly detailed museum with great displays and information. The next trip was to see Sea Rim State Park and Texas Point National Wildlife Refuge. On the way down, we got to see the refineries in action as there are refineries down here measured in square miles, not acres. Interesting, there were no tanks for storage. The oil comes the few miles from the coast in pipes and the finished products also leave via pipes and trucks. Sea Rim is just about the farthest eastern gulf coast in Texas. Although it is quite cool, most of the 25 RV sites here are filled with people walking the beaches, hiking the trails, or just enjoying the view of the gulf over morning coffee.
