Paisano RV Park, Terlingua, Texas ‐ Oct 24, 2020

We drove for about five hours to Terlinqua, Texas (on the southern border with Mexico) from Sanderson, Texas. The day was beautiful with no wind and clear skies. We decided to travel a little farther west to Alpine, Texas and then go south to Terlingua to avoid traveling the winding roads of Highway 385 through the Big Bend National Park.

Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas

We drove from Waco, Texas along Route 35 through Austin, Texas to San Antonio, Texas. The distance was about 165 miles. It was all freeway and some was pretty congested with lots of trucks. Getting to the Army Post RV Park was quite a challenge (see the post for this location). This was a one-night-stay where we visited the Alamo and the San Antonio River Walk.

North Crest RV Park, Waco, Texas ‐ Oct 21, 2020

We drove for three hours from Denton, Texas (north of Dallas) to the North Crest RV Park just on the north side of Waco, Texas. The entire drive was on freeways with the first 60% of the drive going through the massive freeway system of Dallas, Texas. We went right through the middle of Dallas. Luckily, the traffic was not super-busy at 9:30 in the morning. It still is a demanding trip with the 46-foot long Jayco Seismic tracking beautifully behind us.

Hidden Cove Park, Frisco, Texas ‐ Oct 15, 2020

We drove for four hours from Texarkana, Arkansas to Frisco, Texas which is located about twenty miles north of Dallas, Texas. We did have overcast skies and some rain on the drive. Once we arrived in the Dallas area, the entire drive was on huge freeways with a fair amount of traffic. I sure like the quiet drives in the country.

Texarkana KOA Journey, Texarkana, Texas

We drove for five hours from West Memphis, Arkansas (just across the Mississippi River from Memphis, Tennessee), to Texarkana, Texas. Our KOA campground is about 100 feet across the border into Texas. The drive along Highways 40 and 30 were very busy with large numbers of trucks going both directions. It was super-busy as we passed through Little Rock (the capital) and Benton, Arkansas. Getting into our camping spot was very easy and getting out tomorrow should be equally as easy.
Tom Sawyer RV Park, West Memphis, Arkansas ‐ Oct 10, 2020

We drove a short 150 miles from Dickson, Tennessee to the Tom Sawyer RV Park in West Memphis, Arkansas. We started out with light rainfall and that rainfall increased as we got closer to Memphis. Seems that Hurricane Delta has moved north after making landfall in Louisiana and is not impacting the Memphis area with rainfall and winds up to 30 mph. The roads were excellent and the drive only took us three hours and fifteen minutes to complete the trip.

Flatwoods RV KOA, Sutton, West Virgina ‐ Oct 7, 2020

Today we drove for 199 miles from Friendship Village in Bedford, Pennsylvania to Flatwoods KOA in Sutton, West Virginia. The drive was uneventful (which is the way we like them). The weather was nearly perfect and the skies were perfectly clear. We did encounter headwinds of about 15 mph for the entire trip though. The Flatwoods KOA was easy to get into and only had about six campers there.
Friendship Village Campground, Bedford Township, Pennsylvania ‐ Oct 5, 2020

Today, Monday, September 5, 2020, we drove about 290 miles from Belden Hills Campground in Bernardston, Massachusetts to Friendship Village Campground in Bedford, Pennsylvania.

Twin Mountain RV Park, Carroll, New Hampshire ‐ Sep 28, 2020

We drove a total of 85 miles today from North Hyde Park, Vermont to Carroll, New Hampshire. It was raining slightly when we started and then cleared up as the trip went on. We encountered beautiful trees all along the way. We feel that we are in the peak "peeking" season right now. It is a little early this year. No problems with the drive and we met Brian and Cass, the owners of the RV Park, upon arrival. They are very nice people from near Portland, Oregon.

We had a four-hour drive of 167 miles today to travel from Greenfield, Massachusetts to Johnson, Vermont. The roads were excellent for most of the trip with some areas of construction that had to be navigated. The skies were blue and the weather was in the low 70s for the trip. Also, the trees and foliage are changing in color and made the trip very beautiful.
