Were back in TEXAS!!!! Yeehaaa!!!!
It was a long drive from Memphis. But the weather was clear and the temps rather cool (upper 30s), perfect for towing. Along the way, we crossed Arkansas, our 13thstate. Unfortunately we left later than we planned and arrived in Caddo Mills after dark. Our Truck Navigator led us down a very dark farm to market road and where it said the RV park was located, there was nothing visible in the dark that looked like a RV park. There were no places to turn that big rig around so we ended up driving 20 miles to get back to the location, this time backed up with both cell phones navigating as well. Still no RV park. The RV park office was already closed and both our phones died. Leslie saw a loop road on the truck navigator and we jumped on it only to find it was barely wide enough for our rig, with pot holes, low hanging trees and no way to back out, plus it was even darker than the farm to market road. As we came around the loop there was a car coming the opposite direction. He squeezed as far off the road as he could and as we passed we asked him where the RV park was located. Luckily he gave us good directions (on the other side of the interstate from where the GPS took us) and we finally found the RV park after 10 hours on the road.
Dallas NE Campground ($42 per night with Good Sam Discount) is a former KOA campground. The site and all the roads are gravel. The site (#2) was plenty long enough, but when we put the slides out a tree was brushing up against the forward slide (they came and trimmed it the next day). Water pressure was good but it’s only a 30Amp site. Temperatures were dropping below freezing again tonight. Satellite reception was good and the park WiFi was also good and relatively fast.
