Hwy 155 RV Park, Palestine TX

Benchmark Coach & RV Park - Monday, August 20, 2018
Morning 75 Degrees, Wind SSW at 1 to 2 Mph, Humidity 94%, cloudy.

Buster was rolling early today, by nine o’clock that is good for us. Traveling thru Mississippi today there were a number of state police out there looking to get their quota of tickets filled out, we did not help them. I stopped in Pearl, MS for diesel fuel and to comfirm our stay tonight in West Monroe, LA. While sitting there in the parking lot we had our first sun shower of the day. Never got dark nice bright day and rain started falling.

Traveling west thru Vicksburg, MS and crossing the mighty Mississippi River. The Vicksburg crossing on interstate twenty is nicer as there was less truck traffic and I think the bridge is a little better.

In confirming our stay they told me there was a new entrance to the park as we have been there a few times before there are different turns.. There are some new connecting roads that are not on our map and the Garmin was a little off. We stopped to double check the directions and we just stopped short we need to go a little further down the road. We got checked in and set up and decided to go out to eat dinner as we had a Texas Roadhouse gift card to use. We enjoyed our meal and went to Walmart for a few things. We got back to Buster and settled in the sky opened up with a thunder and lightening

We got Tan Jan hooked up to the tow bar and stowed our hoses and electric cable and on the road at a decent time. All of the rain we have traveled thru and while parked it was no raining when I needed to be outside connecting of disconnecting the electric of hoses to Buster.

We purchased diesel fuel west of Shreveport, LA and continued on into Texas. At US 271 we got off interstate twenty amd headed southwest on US 271. Two hundred forty-two miles traveled today. We drove right in right into a vacant pull thru as directed to do on the telephone call last night.

Thought for the Day:

The good news is that I’ve made it to my golden years. The bad news is that there ain’t no gold.
