Today we drove 225 miles from Texarkana to Arlington TX. So, we drove 1,545 miles in six days. The weather reports last night warned us bad weather was going to be going through Dallas and Fort Worth by 1PM. So, we were up early and on the road by 08:30AM. We pulled into the Dallas/Arlington KOA campground ($51 per night with KOA discount) just as the first round of heavy rain started coming down. When we followed our escort towards our site, we realized there were a couple of issues. First there was a low hanging tree branch across the narrow road to our site that had to be cut back. The second was the site they assigned us had a tree right on the corner and another directly across the road. There is no way we could make that corner with the limited room. So, in the pouring rain, they sent someone out to cut back the tree limb then had us pull through to a holding area while they figured out another site. By the time they figured out where they could park us, the first line of storms had passed through, so we were able to unhitch and get set up with just a light drizzle. Another round of severe thunderstorms rolled through about two hours later. We looked out the window and realized we were complete surrounded by water and there was a river running under the back of our rig. Turns out there is a drainage canal running around the property and when it rains hard, and gets full, it takes a short cut across the RV park. And for this privilege, we get to pay $50 a night.
