Mrs and I were traveling home from San Antonio and headed straight east to the TX coast. We hit the gulf south of Galveston and drove on a deserted section of beach for probably 5 miles. We saw very few people...it was surreal. We are accustomed to the Florida coast that is packed.
I know 5 miles is some beach....
, but honestly...it could have been more like 10 miles. It was unreal to us. Cattle on one side of the state highway....gulf of Mexico on the other!
. There were several scattered rv campgrounds along the way. A few buildings on stilts...and that's it.
Here's a pic taken from the passenger window of Mrs ' f150 while driving ON THE BEACH.

Along the stretch of beach we struck up a conversation with a newly retired couple from Wisconsin. They travel in their (really nice) camper van. They belong to PLANET FITNESS and go there for showers every few days or so.
Mrs and I have talked about seeing Alaska this way some day. Just getting a hotel room every few nights for a real shower and bed. It seems I'm more interested than she is.....
.
As for firearms, I would be pretty content with my sr9c 9mm with weapon light and a few holster options and my 12ga 870 loaded with three #4 buck and two slugs.
I also have a sweet little '94 Winchester in 30-30 that would probably get to tag along...
