Shreveport is about half way to Vicksburg, MS, our previously planned stop on Friday, so we will avoid the worst of the weather, cut tomorrows trip distance in half and avoid Dallas rush hour traffic tomorrow morning in gusty and possibly rainy conditions. The downside is we will not be able to do any sightseeing in this area today. It is a nice park and there are lots of things to do around town. Perhaps we will try and stay here on the way back if it works out.
We will update the blog when we arrive in Shreveport.
We are here after a fairly stressful 3 1/2 hour drive from Arlington, TX. We got through Dallas traffic O.K. and the roads were clear but we battled pretty much a 10 mph plus cross wind most of the way.
We are staying in Greenwood, LA about 5 miles over the LA border and about 10 miles west of Shreveport, LA. It is a nice park, fairly basic but with long pull-through sites and it is more than adequate for an overnight stay. Along the way, we stopped at a truck stop with an adjoining BBQ restaurant. We had a great lunch/early dinner of excellent Texas BBQ.
After arriving at the RV park, we had cocktails on the patio, and early to bed. Tomorrow is a 185 mile drive to Vicksburg, MS with showers and more wind forecast.
