Journey Home

We left Mission, Texas on Easter Sunday and drove to Northeast Dallas RV park.  It was a long day but we wanted to get through San Antonio, Austin and Dallas on a weekend.  The park used to be a KOA so it was fairly nice.  We spent one night there and then headed to Tunica, MS where we spent three nights at Hollywood Casino RV Park which came highly recommended by several friends who have stayed there. We were a little disappointed, felt like we were staying in a parking lot and it was lit up like a baseball stadium.  Sam’s Town across the road is only partially reopened after being flooded out two years ago and have no internet or cable yet, otherwise we would have stayed there for $10.00 a night less.  Since we are not big gamblers, 3 nights was long enough to stay there.
We left Tunica with anticipation of looking at a new 5th wheel near Dayton, Ohio.  We spent the night at Hueston Woods State Park to be close to D & D RV Dealership. We pulled into the park around 5:00 and it was pretty cold out so we didn’t have much time to check out the park.  We did notice upon entering, a nice covered bridge.  The drawback to this park is that there are no water hookups.  They were still in the process of opening the campground but it was pretty crowded since it was spring break for the kids.  It would probably not be a park we would stay at again but the location was convenient.
We arrived at D & D’s at 8:30 the following morning, not knowing what to expect since the internet is not a true picture all the time.  Well, we were pleasantly surprised.  Not only was the RV everything it was advertised to be, but the people at the small dealership were great to work with.  Within 4 hours we had all the paperwork done, our belongings moved from one rig to the other and we were back on the road.

We spent one more night on the road, (it was 27 degrees that night) so we were glad to have the new rig which is much better insulated than the old one. Our last night we stayed at Presque Isle Passage RV Park in Erie, Ohio.  It was the only park we could find open yet along the route and it turned out to be a nice park. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.
