Winter in Texas Day 2

Posted on December 29, 2018December 30, 2018 by Jim Mellema

No longer a boring title, it’s now a “THEME”!

This morning we woke up at 5:30 in Wills Creek RV Park in fort Payne, Alabama, and managed to get rolling by 10 am. That’s actually pretty good for us. No idea where the time goes. Does anyone else pick up a phone or a laptop in the morning and have FaceBook suck your braincells out for an hour?

I finished our stay here by pumping the tanks and walking the dogs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So we rolled at 10 sharp, and pulled into “Forest County RV Park” a little before 5:00 pm after covering 352 miles. I could have gone farther, but Carol is suffering, and it seemed a good time to stop. Also in Hattiesburg, I put $205 worth of diesel (73 gallons) in the tank.

Thank you President Trump, my cost for a fillup is down about seventy five bucks from last year. #MAGA.

It was mostly a nice drive today. Good new smooth road. Some cloud, some sun. The last 50 miles or so it clouded up hard and the sky opened up. Alternating rain and mist, the kind where you just can’t find the right setting for the wipers. Coach was great. Cruise locked on 70 the whole way, as always.

This “Forest County RV Park” will just have to do for an overnight. It wants to be like the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, but just doesn’t quite pull it off. The concrete pads are way way way to narrow, it’s real hard to keep wheels from falling off the surface while backing in. With all the rain, it is a muddy mess here, 6″ deep ruts everywhere anyone got off the pavement, endless red mud. Just a mess. They do have full hookups, but the power is just 30 amps. I guess that’s all the horse trailers need? Only maybe 2 regular RV’s in here.
Oh well, it will be fine, and we’ll roll out in the morning.
