Arlington TX to Perry GA

We spent two days at a nice campground, Treetop RV Park, in Arlington TX, we found an Elks Lodge about a mile up the street from us. We went in there and had a couple of drinks, everyone was very nice there, Joe found out they had a golf course, so of course he had to play golf too.

We went to Stockyard Station in Fort Worth, and had a good time there. Nice shopping area, old restored buildings, restaurants and saloons. We had lunch there at H3 Ranch a nice restaurant in a beautiful hotel in the center of this old town.



Then about 4 pm they close off part of the street and have a "longhorn cattle drive" go through town for all of the tourists to watch. That was a lot of fun.



We headed out the next day to continue our journey to Georgia.

We left Texas after what seemed like a month, Ha Ha !!

This is a picture of the sun setting in our mirror as we leave Texas, on our last night in this big state.

Went into Shreveport Louisiana and stayed at Barksdale AFB for 3 nights, they have a good fam camp there and the price was right at just 14.00 per night. We went out to eat, and Joe had to have Gumbo since we were in Louisianna. In fact he ate Gumbo everywhere we went, 4 times in all.


We stayed at an Ameristar Casino in Vicksburg Mississippi the next night, that one was a little more costly, especially if you count the money we spent at the casino. They did give us a free breakfast the next morning though. Ha Ha


Our next stop was at Maxwell AFB near Montgomery Alabama for one night then headed for the fam camp at Fort Benning Georgia.

This campground is called Uchee Creek Campground, Ft Benning and is, 75 campsites, 45 cabins, all in the forest. This was a great place and we wanted to stay for 4 nights, but we got an email asking us to volunteer at the rally we are going to, so we cut our stay down to only 2 nights.


We have now arrived in Perry Georgia on March 12th and will be a part of the early security crew here at the rally. We are looking forward to this next week, lots of fun and lots to learn.
