Heading West

I had a very cold start this morning. Everything was frozen. I was late leaving the park. I didn't get away until 12:15. I took hwy 174 to Meridan,Tx and then Texas hwy 6, up to I 20. A good road, but a lot of little towns so you don't make good time. Also ran into road work, had to wait in line for about 30 mins. Then we stopped at a nice rest area for lunch and kick the tires. So it took me about four hours to go 150 miles. Not very good time. But, I was really tired, and when I got on I 20 west the head winds were really fierce. I remembered looking at RV parks one year and Baird Motel and RV park was one that gave Good Sam discounts. Well, I whipped in there about 4 pm. They don't give discounts any more! It was $20.00 for full hook ups, including cable. I was just too tired to hook up cable, and the wind was blowing so bad! I didn't unhook from the truck, just hooked up elec. Got my dinner, my electric blanket it waiting for me, and I am soooo ready!!

    Sometimes you know you need to stop and rest. I remember when I was touring on my motorcycle in 2005, at least twice I ended up paying over $100 for a room because that was all they had and I was too beat to go further.

    It is always a great feeling at the end of a difficult day to just find a secure spot to pull over, sit back, relax & let all that road stress just drain away.

    I have always driven too many miles in a day, and many timed ended up pulling into a KOA just because I knew that it would be a decent place to rest, with water & electricity, and sewer if I need to use it. I also like how they usually have a small store and various snack/supper items, and I don't have to cook.

    I don't think $20 was too much to pay if you were tired and needed to stop. Glad you are on the move.

    $20.00 would be a good price even if you did get a discount. Lucky you. I think you did darn good for your first day back at traveling. Hang in there, you are doing great.
