Today was a day of travel, travel, travel!!! and tired, tired, tired.
I do not think the states of Mississippi or Louisiana know how to build roads. Interstate 59 and 20 were so rough that our heads felt like they were "boggle heads". Walt really had to hold onto the stirring wheel in some areas.
We were planning to stop in West Monroe, Louisianna, but when we stopped at the welcome center to Louisiana we listened to the weather and decided to not stop in Louisianna but go to Tye, Texas. That made our day of travel much longer--7:45 am to 4:15 pm. We usually do not travel that far in one day.
We did stop at a truck stop in West Monroe for a break and when we left the truck stop we saw the R.V. park we had planned on staying at this evening. Well, we were glad we had decided to change our stop for tonight. It definitly looked like a very poor park---it was not very neat and needed a lot of repair. It was also located in a very poor part of town.
When we came to Schreveport, Louisiana, we saw it was a real gambling town. There were casinos all along the interstate. We did notice that when we crossed the Texas border the grass was green. For the last two days we had only seen trees along the highways and brown grass. As we came close to the Texas border the trees disappeared except for the fence rows and along the rivers. It then turned to an open area with green grass and fields planted with green vegetation. We could not get close enough to identify the vegetation.
Tonight we are in a great great park. It is very nice with cement pads and grassy areas between the pads. It has paved streets and it looks like a street in any suburb. The area around the park is a golf course. So we are in the good part of town tonight. It is also a Passport America Park so 15 dollars is a great price.
We hope all is well with each one of you and you will hear from me tomorrow evening--destination is Abilene, Texas. We will be there until next Monday morning. Hope to find some activities in the area and a quilt shop for quilt fabric for Mollys quilt (Molly is our grandaughter).
Good night. Marge
