Outdoor Story: The Cablers

This is Passport to Texas Outdoor Stories
Ask Claire Cabler about a memorable time in the outdoors and she’s got plenty.
12—We were at Guadalupe State Park. I was busy playing in the sand. My dad said, “Look up there’s a water snake!” and I looked and I saw this sticking thing and I thought that was the water snake.
It seems that Claire’s dad, Dru Cabler, is always pointing out wildlife to her. Even at home.
16—We point ‘em out as soon as we see ‘em if we think she’s never seen one before. We got all kinds of creatures just around our house. Deer that come through our backyard. Lots of rat snakes, grass snakes, a couple of rattlesnakes. Frogs that jump into our swimming pool. Big Texas spiny lizards, and green anoles.
And venturing out to state parks together, they find other creatures that aren’t as close to home.
20—We like to go to Guadalupe state park, like she said.
How about Port Aransas?
We like Port Aransas. We’re going next weekend. So we’ll spend a lot of time outside there on the beach. She likes to collect dead fish; stack ‘em up with her friends. Remember that?
I don’t really remember catching the dead fish but I remember picking up a bunch of shells. I found a full sand dollar.
We love hearing about your outdoor discoveries and adventures. Share them with us at www.passporttotexas.org.
That’s our show… For Texas Parks and Wildlife…I’m Cecilia Nasti.
