Stopping North of Indianapolis, IN on the Way to FROG

August 14, 2022 On Friday (August 12), we got up and Bruce packed up the rig. I did help with the hitching, as Bruce needs a spotter. We head along I-70 (a very familiar road) to Indianapolis. We did not see a welcome sign into Indiana. There was a welcome center and we pulled in […]

Sticker for Missouri

August 11, 2022 Last week, we were in Missouri, so we got to add a new sticker to our USA map. We already had a sticker for Illinois, so we didn’t get to add a new sticker this week.

Made It to Lake Sara Campground in Effingham, IL

August 5, 2022 We left our previous campground at 11:00 am this morning. We took I-57 most of the way from Sikeston, Missouri to Effingham, Illinois. We will not be getting a new state sticker since we spent the night in Illinois when we picked up our RV. We went over the Mississippi River and […]

On to Sikeston, Missouri Along I-55

August 1, 2022 Bruce did most of the packing up this morning so I could stay off my ankle. I have decided once we find a place to stay for a while that I need to go and see a doctor. The Mississippi River had risen from all the rain yesterday. We left Tom Sawyer’s […]

On to West Memphis, Arkansas at the Tom Sawyer’s RV Park

Arkansas Welcome Center in Lake Village, AR

July 5, 2022 Across Hwy 65 from the RV park, is an Arkansas Welcome Center. We were told by several people that we should check out the welcome center. We walked to the north end of the RV park, waited for traffic to clear, then crossed the highway. The welcome center was small, but beautiful. […]

Heading 63 Miles to Arkansas RV Park

June 29, 2022 Our last day at Poverty Point State Park, LA was Monday (June 27). Check out time was 1:00 pm, so we had a lot of time to get ready to go. We had hoped to stay past the 4th of July, but the park was full that weekend. Earlier, I found us […]

Traveling to Poverty Point State Park, LA from Ranch 380 RV Park in Texas

June 15, 2022 We left the Ranch 380 RV Park in the Fort Worth, TX area around 9:30 am. There was surprisingly little traffic on the ring road of I-35E. We did run into one traffic jam on our way around Dallas, but it was due to an exit ramp being backed up. We cut […]

Finding a Place to Stay for Two Weeks

June 15, 2022 In looking for our next place to stay after the Fort Worth area, we checked out COE (Corp of Engineers) campgrounds. They are nice campgrounds along bodies of water. They usually have large sites that are fairly inexpensive. You can only stay two weeks in a COE campground, which is enough for […]

On to Fort Worth Area

June 14, 2022 See https://retirementrvdream.com/2022/06/14/from-alamogordo-nm-to-sand-springs-tx/ for the starting details of the trip. We were able to leave the Elite RV Park in Sand Springs, TX just after 7:00 am. The RV safe gps took routed us to another exit, so we didn’t have to back track. We went under another low bridge, 13’9” and were […]
