we like Movietown RV Park for an overnight stay.. .
it’s within easy reach of I55 between Jackson and Memphis
I get 4G with 3 bars with Verizon. . .they have fairly good wifi,
and pull throughs. . .$28.50 with a Good Sam Discount
only one of THOSE moments. . .about an hour into our day.. .
crossing the Sabine River from Texas into Louisiana.
There had been signs posted, but we thought
There had been signs posted, but we thought
surely there would be another way around the bridge. . .NOT SO!
and there was absolutely nowhere big enough
for us to turn around without unhooking the toad. . .
so we pulled off before the bridge and contemplated our options. . .
we knew we could drive back about eight miles to Hwy 87 and cross
Toledo Bend Reservoir just out of Hemphill. . .
but the logging trucks were rolling across this bridge just fine,
and their smoke stacks seemed higher than our rig. . .right?
so we decided that the 12’ 3” was measured at the side braces,
and that as long as we stayed in the middle we would be fine. . .
AND WE WERE. . .I told Dave. . .go real slow,
that way. . .if we bump it, we can back up and turn around.
Now, please know, we would have never tried it,
Now, please know, we would have never tried it,
had we not seen the large trucks crossing. . .
it was fine. . .we are 12’ 6”. . .we had plenty of clearance. . .
Charlotte Beaugez, one of our Cajun Friends,
said they are trying to keep Texans out. . .ha ha!
this is not a great pic, but this crop duster
seemed as though it flew RIGHT in front of this truck. . .
he crossed the highway before this truck got to him…
it seemed really, really close.. .maybe it was just an illusion. . .
and that was about it for our excitement.
Stopped and got fuel at Love’s in Tallulah. . .$3.92 for diesel
crossed the mighty Mississippi River
and rolled on in for our overnight stop. . .
off the road by three. . .supper cooked, done and finished for the day by five.. .
not too bad for a long travel day. . .
til next time,

RV TIP OF THE DAY
There is quite a discussion on the FaceBook Group
as to whether you can use your RV exactly the same as you do your S/B?
Quite the varied opinions abound. . .
what do you think?
We use ours as our home. . .
I cook big meals, bake bread and cookies. . .
we flush TP (trust me . . .that is a huge discussion. . .LOL)
and. . .a new one to me. . .we drink the water out of the fresh water tank. . .
ours goes through our filter system, but evidently, some folks use the water from their
fresh water tank only for bathing. . .hmmm. . .news to me!
