STE3 Actual
By the numbers:
- 9 hops
- 16 nights
- 1608 tow miles
- 2103 truck miles
- $687.65 in campground fees ($42.98 per night)
The actual route included two stops that differed from the plan and had some minor detours and changes in route, but otherwise went as planned.
Highlights:
- The Johnson Space Center in Houston. A fascinating tour and museum.
- The Silver Slipper Casino and Beachside RV Park in Waveland MS. The beachside RV site was beautiful and we won money at the casino.
- Our day in New Orleans.
- Gulf Shores AL. A nice town, a nice beach and a nice dinner at The Diner.
- Our Gulf-side site at Presnell’s Marina and RV Resort. Beautiful sunsets.
Lowlights:
- Brownsville TX and the entire south Texas area. I had high hopes for this area, both as a place to visit and as a place to spend a future winter. But other than the rates, which were very low, we did not see any RV parks that we liked very much. South Padre Island was a huge disappointment and neither Brownsville nor any of the nearby towns offered anything of interest.
