Northbound thoughts

It happens every year and it is called "Hitch-itch". Things wind down in the park, activities taper off and you know before long that you will indeed be northbound. I have made a 'last trip to Mexico' list and a checklist for things to get done before take off. The question this year is how far we will be going north. We think our first days run will take us to Sattler (Canyon Lake) Texas. When we leave the park will hinge directly on the new manager. In the past we have stayed over a few days by paying a prorated fee. But word gets back to us that others have met with a stone wall on this issue with her insisting a full month be paid. That will not fly with us. So we will either be leaving the 31st of March or a week later if allowed to prorate our fee.
Our Canyon Lake friends have made reservations at the Llano City RV Park where we have stayed in the past. In fact we stayed there in October on our way down. Their reservations are for 6 days and we will be doing the same starting April 10th with perhaps a longer stay depending on when Spring breaks in Iowa. It is nice to have a plan in place.

Two Bits

Two Bits of interesting items from our most recent RV newsletter. One could happen here and the other has happened here...or close anyway.


A 300-acre campground in Welch, Minn., has been closed by court order. Hidden Valley Campground was shut down in a dispute over its sewage disposal system. Owner Cory Axelson said he's sunk more than $400,000 into system repairs, but a judge says his campground is closed until state officials issue licenses for the system.

Police in Mission, Texas, may have broken up a ring of thieves who specialized in stealing Ford F-250 pickups and selling them in Mexico. Police staked out Mission Bell RV Resort in February, where pickups had been previously stolen, and netted four adults and a juvenile who were charged in connection with at least one truck theft.
