Bye to Boomland and all the geese--
We were able to get a quick and early start next morning but we drove in rain almost all day. The destination was the North Little Rock KOA, where I'd made a reservation because it was full hookup, I had a membership to get 10% off, and it was on the route.
Very much on the route. Note to self: if you choose a campground beside a major interstate highway, you will hear the major interstate highway. All night long.
Of course, when we're inside Magnus the Mighty Motorhome we hear nothing. Even with the TV off. Which never happens.
Other than the noise, it was an okay KOA. I wouldn't stay there again unless it was necessary. Crowded to the gills--all those people, and all so close together! I shudder. And all had dogs (or cats) I hate private campgrounds
There were two dog parks and some space around the tent camping area where I could walk Molly. In the rain. And squirrels all over, which made for a very exciting walk. Until it quit raining, and then everyone brought their dogs out to walk. I wish I had an old, calm dog who could be trusted to let other dogs alone and not pick fights. But instead, I have Molly. The bully.
And that's about it. Next morning we got up early, hauled out and went home.
NOTES
1. When making plans, weigh heavily against private campgrounds. Except the few with little business and lots of space around.
2. Off-season parks without reservations are a strong option.
3. Neither of us likes traveling without Molly. It's easier, especially in motels and big cities. But who wants to spend much time in those? We'd rather be out walking muddy trails with the pup.
4. Don't order steak unless you're at a steakhouse. Unless you think it's close enough to being a steakhouse that you can trust them. Or not.
