Well, all the work on our rig is done and it is time to hit the road again. The ride is much better. The trailer rides a little taller and the expansion joints are much less noticable so I guess everything is working as promised. We will evaluate more as we put miles behind us, and that is the plan this summer!
Our next destination is Hollister Missouri. We have worked in this area and passed through several times over the years. That means we have friends to visit and catch up with. We stopped twice just to overnight. Our first stop was at a Loves Truck Stop RV area. Loves has built a number of RV parks at their truck stops. This keeps RVs away from the trucks that come and go at all hours and sometimes idle all night. It also allows Loves to get some more of the RV dollars we spend on the road. It was convenient but still noisy due to the proximity to the truck traffic. It was also a little pricy for just an overnight stop. For the same price we could stay in a regular campground just a little bit off the highway with better amenities and more quiet. We will not return unless it is the best option in the area.
The next night we stayed at a KOA in St Louis and had the quiet that was missing the night before. Same price, cheaper fuel near by, and just as close to the highway. KOAs are not our first choice because they are on the pricy side for overnighters but we get discounts as former employees and for repeat visits.
By the way, Happy Easter. Our next stop will be five days in Hollister. Looking forward to see our friends. Almost caught up so I will sign off from our home in Marshall Texas because......
Home is where we park it,
Frank and Mary
