Northward Bound – Yikes SNOW!!

Early Thursday morning (April 14th) in the warm sunshine, we hitched up and said goodbye to the Hollywood Casino RV Park and the Tunica area. We had planned to stay two days, but ended up spending four. Definitely a stopping-off point on future trips. Jane plans on buying the guide to casino camping – so we can make sure we aren’t missing other deals.

Our trip north took us from Mississippi to Tennessee to Arkansas to Illinois and finally to Indiana. We drove US 55, US 57, and US 70 – a good route that avoids major towns and is not totally a truck route. So after 450 some miles we arrived at Cloverdale RV park in Cloverdale, Indiana. This is an adequate park with free wifi, 30amps and not far off the highway.

We were glad that we were well north of the tornados so at least we didn’t have to worry about that once we left Mississippi. However, with each rest stop, we have had to find warmer clothes in the back of the closet. Thank goodness we have an electric mattress pad because we blew a fuse on the furnace so it was quite chilly in here in the morning.

Friday we continued our journey, ending up in Howell, Michigan – at the Taylor’s Beach campground – which actually opened on April 15th. Jane chose this park since it is on the same road as an Outlet Mall she wanted to visit (How convenient is that?). We were going to move on the next day – but decided to stay two nights. Howell is an interesting town with plenty of eating and shopping opportunities.

Sunday morning we awoke to the dreaded “S” word – SNOW!!! Yikes.!!! We had an interesting drive fighting the strong winds and snow squalls – but we arrived safely at Morry’s and are preparing to camp here for the night. Let’s hope the repairs go quickly so we can be on our way home. If it’s going to be cold and snowy – a warm house sounds real good!!
