Hi, I hope this forum is still operational.

I am considering a trip to Matagorda. I have been looking at some very cool aerial photos of the island here (http://www.texmaps.com/aerials/09san...ay/index.html), and I was trying to find the dock and beach campground in the photos. Can anyone tell me where they are in relation to what appears to be the abandoned airport (with all the runways and roads going in many different directions)? I think the dock is right by the old airport, and I see a road going from there up and to the left, out onto the little semi-circular strip of land that forms a lagoon. Is that where the beach campground is, on that little strip of land?

Also, what is the approximate current temperature on the island?

Any help would be appreciated. Just trying to find my way around the island.
