When we got up this morning it was pouring rain so we got a late start on todays journey. When the rain lightened up I tore down the satellite systems and got everything packed. We got on the road around 10am and the traffic going towards Dallas was still bad. I think people in Dallas only see one thing in front of them when they drive and that's their nose. We had a close call a couple of times before we got out of the Dallas area. Our first stop was for fuel at the TA in Terrell, TX. The pumps in the truck stop would not take my fuel card and the line at the fuel desk was so long the we left before getting fuel and went down the road to the next truck stop where we fueled up and got a late breakfast. By that time it was already noon. After breakfast we continued on until we got to our overnight stop at the Interstate RV Park west of Minden, LA. The computer map showed the RV park 1 mile north of the Interstate but when we turned off a sign said it was a mile south. We headed south but the road "T"ed at US-79 about a half mile down the road. We made a U-turn and headed back to go north of the Interstate when we spotted it behind a trailer sales just before the Interstate but we missed it. The road wasn't wide enough to make another U-turn so I got back on the Interstate to go to the next exit 5 miles away to make a U-turn and try it again. The RV park had 50 amp full hookups for $20 a night. The office was unmanned so registration was by honor box. Right across the street is a small fuel stop with a full service diner. Tomorrow morning we head to Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
