Ep. 229: Port Aransas, Texas | RV travel camping belt sander racing

Port Aransas sits at the northern end of Mustang Island, one of the many barrier islands lining the Gulf of Mexico along the Texas Coast. We're here to connect with our friends  @Homie At Large , and Dale and Pat from Salt Lake City, for a week of relaxation camping along the wide, sandy beach at Pioneer Beach RV Resort. But while we're here we'll also take in the World War II-era aircraft carrier USS Lexington, and something uniquely Texan: belt sander racing.

Filmed: October 17-23, 2021

ABOUT US

Welcome to Grand Adventure, a YouTube channel that focuses on RV-centric outdoor activities including not only of course camping, but also mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing and more, always filmed in stunning 4K.

We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah during the winter months, and invite you to come along as we travel all around the U.S. My wife Patricia and I, and dog Zoe are avid boondockers, so while you'll occasionally find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. We've now transitioned from "long-timing" for six months a year, to living and traveling in our RV full-time.

We'll provide beautiful travel videos, as well as some tips and insight on trip planning, and equipping and maintaining your RV to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!

Grand Adventure is the creative video outlet for Marc Guido, a 50-something outdoors enthusiast who first added an RV to his gear bag in spring 2017. Outside of ski season he travels the U.S. in his fifth wheel RV trailer with his lovely wife Patricia, and their overly-caffeinated Labrador retriever Zoe. During winter, they base their RV in Salt Lake City for the skiing.
