Yesterday's Travel

Yesterday was the stint from the Downstream Casino Galena KS to the Winstar Casino and the FunTown RV park. It was a good travel day and for the first time in over a month, we enjoyed the sunshine for a good chunk of the day. We enjoyed every minute of it!
We are in the Funtown RV park at the Winstar Casino in Thackerville and it is COLD. Unfortunately,  it is not much warmer south of here. We are sitting still for an extra day in hopes the rain situation betters itself. We will make a dash for Canyon Lake tomorrow in between raindrops and sit tight there till Sunday morning to make our run through San Antonio. Yes, we will be driving once again through the heart of San Antonio on I-35 to I-410 to I-37-and that flows seamlessly into hwy- 281 and from there on we do not need navigation except for road hazards.
We had never stayed here at the Big Ass casino long enough to look over anything in the area until today. So we drove into Thackerville to see exactly how big it is and it looks to be about the same size as Cumberland Iowa. The one thing it does have going for it is the closeness to I-35 and the Big Ass casino. They have a sizable RV park right in town and it looks like a good one. It is Red River Ranch RV Park with lots of amenities. They are a Passport America Park and with their regular rates at $40 a night it is a good thing they are. So with a Passport America membership, they are $20 a night and that is more like it. There are no restrictions although their weekly rate (negotiated) would be better if you were indeed staying that long. Their park is mostly pull-throughs, roomy, flat and wide. It would be easy getting into and out of the park. It looks like it is a winter home to quite a few snowbirds and they have full facilities for park functions. The only thing we could say about it in a negative way is that it is not nearly far enough south. If you are looking for an in-between season place to stay for a.while it could be the place for you.

And then we moseyed on over to the Big Ass- Fancy-Shmancy golf course where their rates to play would make Butch quit listening and they did! $99 for a round of 18 holes most days. I will not bore you with the rest of the particulars.

So today I have spent the better part of it so far checking our route tomorrow. I found this website called Drive Texas https://drivetexas.org/. With this site you can find out about construction, floods, water covered roads etc. and it is constantly changing. I was impressed and found enough info to change our route. Now we will stay on I-35S to I-820 to I-30W to I-20W to hwy 281. It saves us from water covered roads and construction. Neither of which we knew about before. This trip seemed so easy in the past. Darn weather!!
