Last evening we crossed the Texas Louisiana border at 5:31pm. We had finally made it. We stopped at the Hitchin Post RV Park in Hallsville, Texas for the night. The folks there were so friendly and they really made us feel special when they used their golf cart to lead our little Roadtrek into this huge pull through campsite. As we pulled into the RV Park EJ noticed that the store next to the office sold pizzas. So we had fresh hot pizza for dinner that night.This morning I was out walking around the Park talking to fellow RVer's one asked me if our rig was the big fifth wheel over there and I said no, our's was the little guy hidden on the other side. Stealth mode once again!
We took a break at one of the Texas I-20 rest areas and saw this emu at the end of a nature trail.
Instead of just blasting straight through Dallas, we drove around the north side to check out a couple of RV dealers. I guess it's just a sign of the times, but inventory is way down and used inventory is practically non-existent. However we did see another 2010 Winnebago 34Y we really liked. Too much money!!!
We made it to Mineral Springs State Park where we spent the night. Camping fees for Texas State parks have gone from $15 to $25 since May of last year. On a more upbeat note, being so far away from any metropolitan centers meant the star viewing was exceptional. It's been a long time since we were able to see that many stars.
Upon entering the camping area, it was unnerving to note that we were on a road that was below water level, and that the wall holding that water out was leaking. However we couldn't resist stopping to take a picture.
Ya'll need to park next to folks in one-man tents like mine. Roadie will look gargantuan!
