Trip West Journal Log
I thought it might be helpful to journal our trip west for anyone who
might be planning one. I know this is from Florida to Arizona/Utah but
maybe it can be helpful.
Day 1
Left home around 7:30PM. I-75 North to I-10. Stayed at the WalMart in Live Oak on I-10. Great little Walmart..other RVers who were running their generators.
Day 2
Traveled to just outside of Jackson, Mississippi. I-10 to Hwy 67. Hwy 67 to Hwy 49. Hwy 49 to I-20. Stayed over at Askew's Landing RV Park. I think we were the only overnighters, most everyone lived there. It was $28.00 for full hook up. Worked out OK for an overnight stop, but honestly felt safer/better at Walmart.
Day 3
Traveled I-20 to Tyler, Texas. Took Hwy 69 to Hwy 380. Hwy 380 to Hwy 287. Stayed over at Walmart in Wichita Falls. Great Walmart. There were several restaurants nearby. We ate at Jack In The Box and the girls went in Walmart and got Subway. We ran our generators all night. Several other RVers were there too, all running generators.
Day 4
Traveled Hwy 287 to I-40. We traveled to Dancing Eagle Casino in Casa Blanca, NM. This was a perfect pull over for the night. We had a pull through, full hook up w/ 50amp for $11.28 a night! We didn't visit the Casino either.
Days 5 - 11
Traveled I-40 to Flagstaff where we stayed for 7 nights at my boss's home. Sorry, I know that isn't much help to others but we enjoyed it. He had full hook ups and 50 amp service for us. FREE
Day 12
Traveled to Trailer Village inside The Grand Canyon. Full Hook Up, 50amp service. $48 a night.
Day 13-15
Traveled to Ruby's Inn RV Park & Campground Located about 1 mile outside the entrance to Bryce Canyon. This ran about $48 a night.
Day 16 - 18
Traveled to Mt. Carmel Motel & RV Park. This was about 12 miles outside the East entrance to Zion. This was about $30 a night. Note: if you drive a Dually to tow your RV and want to drive your Dually into Zion...you will be charged the $15 fee for oversized vehicles to use the tunnel.
Day 19
Started the 5 day journey home. We decided to be a bit adventerous and drive through Colorado. We had hoped to possibly make it to The Great Sand Dunes National Park and spend Saturday morning there - then continue the drive home. However, we couldn't get our truck and RV over the infamous Wolf Creek Pass. We had to turn around on the pass and head back down. We took a back road to New Mexico. Thankfully, we found a small campground out in the middle of nowhere that had room for us for the night. Twin Riverswas $27 for the night. I didn't care, they could've charged me $100 at that point. It was late, dark and we didn't want to drive unfamiliar back mountain roads in the dark. Worth every penny. The manager was so nice, he walked us to our site and helped us get set up.
Day 20
Traveled to Texas. We stopped early because of severe weather predicted in Oklahoma. Still ended up with severe storms where we were at but they weren't too bad. Tornadoes hit north of where we planned to go in Oklahoma. We stayed at the Alanreed Travel Center. It was only $18 a night and only 2 other RVers overnight.
Day 21
Traveled to a TA Campground about 5 miles into Louisiana from Texas on I-20. Never seen a TA campground. This was a nice campground, but pricey for one night. It was $34 with a Good Sam Discount. Had a few spots for overnight. Everyone else was residents. We were the only overnighters. Manager was friendly though and we spent some time talking to an older couple who owned an Open Range.
Day 22
Started the day along I-20. We stopped in West Monroe, LA to visit Duck Commander. Kinda cool but really a tourist trap. Around Jackson, we took 49 South to Hattiesburg. Out of Hattiesburg, we took 98 to Mobile and then hit I-10. Traveled to Rivers Edge RV Campground in Holt, FL outside of Pensacola. I didn't even check this place out. We pulled in around 6pm, I made dinner, the mosquitoes were bad so I stayed in the RV. I also used this nice to thoroughly clean the RV for storage once we got home. That was more the purpose this night of staying full hook up.
Day 23
We traveled safely back home to Riverview via I-10 to I-74S. We made it home around 4pm. Thankfully we had no major issues with our truck or RV.
More posts with actual pictures to follow....Just wanted to share the journal of where we stayed.

It’s been a while since you took my cock from your ass to your mouth and swallowed my gooey load.
