Port Arthur is surrounded by levies and we were able to drive a short way on top of one of them. Driving east on highway 82 we travel beside the Gulf of Mexico for some distance. There were a lot of signs of destruction from Hurricane Rita and there were rubble http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Texas/Sam-Rayburn/blog-130522.html Spent the day just checking out the real estate around Jasper.
