Where are we today ?
Wow did we have a great sleep last night even in the Flying J. Not much road noise, very nice, no trucks and no other rv's parked here was amazing ! Mind you there was an airport close by but we can tune that out. Outside noise has never bothered us, we are lucky, both me and Suzie.
Walked about the area for a while waiting for Suzie to get mobile, then a couple coffees and we hit the road around 8:30 am no rush today.

Thackerville is our kinda town! Small Town USA. Population 445 in 2010, with larger towns close by. That suits us to a T.

Think we will stay here for a few days, relax and maybe check out the area.
Glad that ya'll stopped by and hope you had a great day too.
Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this Fall and Winter..
I love the small towns too. Nice place to call home for a few days.....enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYes we will enjoy it here for a few days
DeleteI am with Gay and Joe. Love those small towns. We really enjoy driving the TX back road also. So wide and great wide berms.
ReplyDeleteMost of the back roads are wonderful and a lot less traffic.
DeleteWell, I don't blame you, George, for avoiding the DFW area. Seems like everything there is under construction. By the way, what kind of camping membership do you have that gets you those low rates?
ReplyDeleteWe will avoid large cities if we can and this worked out perfect.
DeleteWe have 3 memberships this one is called Resorts of Distinction (ROD), sure saves us a lot of money over the years.
It's still cold and blustery up north. You better stay where you are for a few days yet. Happy Easter to you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you as well.
DeleteWe don't like to rush so it will be a while yet before we get back.
Those back roads are sure nice compared to the alternative! Nice to see you making easy progress.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful back roads, we like to drive a bit then relax a bit.
DeleteLooks like a great spot to hunker down for the weekend. Love that juke box.
ReplyDeleteWe will relax here and enjoy more sunshine.
DeleteThe price for that campground surely won't break the bank! :c)
ReplyDeleteThat's why we love our campground memberships, makes our lifestyle more affordable.
DeleteEnjoying the smell of fresh cut grass here too in Langley, BC. A little earlier than the rest of Canada.
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure.
DeleteContinued safe travels and enjoy the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteThank you it is a wonderful day today too !
DeleteWe stayed at the Thackerville park when it first opened. I'm sure it's very different now than then.
ReplyDeleteGetting a little tired in probably nothing done since then. But good enough for us.
