Trip West Day 2

Thankfully Day 2 went very well with no real issues. We traveled from Live Oak, FL to Edwards, MS.  We traveled about 11 hours.  It rained off and on most of the day which was nice to keep the tires from getting too hot. By the time we got into middle Mississippi,  the rains had stopped and the heat set in.  Since we hadn't slept real well the last couple of nights, I found a Private campground to stay at.  The price was around $28 for 50amp and full hook ups. It was called Askew Landings. Well, if you have an entry level fifth wheel and your the nicest RV by far in the entire campground, probably best to stay someplace else. The site was set up odd and utilities shared with the site next to you. We had some locals come tell us we were setting up wrong because we backed into the site instead of pulling in.  Whatever.  We figured that out but since everyone around us were permanent residents there was no way to get our rig out. Regardless we slep...

Trip West Day 4

Another long day of travel.  We went from Wichita Falls, TX to Casa Blanca, NM. Texas was long and hot and very windy. Not much to view of interest other than miles and miles of windmill farms.  Apparently this is the new big thing in Texas.  We saw the Cadillac Ranch. It was packed with visitors.  We didn't stop though. We spent about an hour at the New Mexico welcome center eating lunch and resting.  Nice to have generators that allow us to cool the RV and enjoy a nice lunch. Right before Albuquerque the views start coming.  Our poor truck isn't loving towing this 5th wheel up these mountains.  Some of it was quite scary actually.  We hit Alburquerque at rush hour and had to deal with massive traffic. We had picked a Walmart near Grants, NM to stay at.  As we were traveling on I-40, we noticed a RV Park at a casino.  I looked it up on the RV Parky app and it got decent reviews for overnight.  So we stopped.  It was $1...

Trip West Day 3

Another long day on the road with no mishaps!  That is always a good day. We traveled from Edwards, MS to Wichita Falls, TX before pulling over for the night at a Walmart.  We actually grabbed dinner out (girls went in Walmart to get Subway, the rest of us got Jack In The Box).  We cranked up the generators and let the A/C get going.  3 other RVers and 3 truckers stayed all night. The generator noise and a/c noise allowed me decent sleep for anWalmart. It was our first time running the generators all night, so Mark kept getting up and checking on them.  They did run out of gas around 2am and had to be filled up. The drive through Texas is so long!  We tried back roads to avoid going through Dallas.  Not the best decision as we ended up in a ton of stop and go traffic and hit decent size suburbs at rush hour.  The funniest thing of the day was when we were on a 2 lane road and had a parade of cars behind us.  We monitor Channel 19 on the ...
