October 12 - 22, 2024
The trip is over and what a trip it was! Seeing God's creation, family, and meeting new friends was absolutely amazing! We are so thankful that we got to do this trip, and thank the Lord for our safety.
On Sunday, October 13 we left Wylie, TX and went to Clear Spring Campground in Texarkana, TX for one night. It was full hookups for $13 per night with the senior pass. This was a beautiful campground on a lake with trees all around. I could have stayed there longer. It was nice to get into cooler weather too.
On Monday we went to Lake Village, AR for two nights. It was full hookups for $33.15 per night. I made a deposit of $44.20 for the first night but they have 25% off for out-of-state seniors so took advantage of that for the second night. There weren't very many people there and it was really quiet. The weather was nice so I sat outside for a while and read.
As you can tell, these are one or two night stops on the way home. I think we're a little 'touristed' out.
On Wednesday we crossed the Mississippi River and our next stop was Town Creek Campground in West Point, MS for two nights. It was 50 amp and water for $14.00 per night with the senior pass.
It was on the Tombigbee River, but our site wasn't on the main part of the waterway. I didn't realize that when I made the reservation or I would have tried to get one of the sites where you could watch the barges go up and down the river. There were three other rigs when we got there and one left the next day so it was really quiet. We didn't realize there were so many people in the campground until we walked to the other loop along the main part of the river. Note for next time!
On Friday we crossed into Georgia and went on to Little Tallapoosa Park in Carrollton, GA for three nights. We like this park and have been here before. It's full hookups for $40 per night senior rate. It's a beautiful park with hiking trails all through it. It was really pretty with some of the trees turning colors. I sat outside and read for a long time. Such beautiful weather!
We stayed three nights because John ordered some new Epoch batteries for the 5th wheel to replace the Chevy Volt modified batteries we've had for nine years. We picked them up in Stockbridge, GA Monday morning.
Our son Michael's wife's parents live about an hour from Carrollton, so we met at the Smokin' Pig in Bowden for lunch. We had a really nice time visiting!
We spent the night at Twin Lakes Campground in SC. We stayed one night (the horse is heading for the barn). It was 50 amp and water for $16.00 per night with the senior pass. We had a lakefront site and it was really pretty.
Tuesday morning we headed for home sweet home. We got home about 2:30 and started unloading (my least favorite part of our trips). We got most of it done except for some things John needed to do in the basement. He got the 5th wheel back to storage by sunset, and picked up our traditional unloading day pizza.
Here's our trip map.
