RE: No electricity at Fishing Bridge this summer-2010
I was at Fishing Bridge the last 2 days that they were open this season. No problems, but as other posters have said small tight spaces.
We moved to Madison when Fishing Bridge closed---much nicer spaces, without electric. The guy next to me, noticed that I had a motorhome with generator, he asked would run it, so that he could charge his batteries on his Fifth Wheel. Mine you he was from Michigan and I live Ohio---but what the hey. He was very appreciative.

RE: Camping in Moab Utah
On the return from Yellowstone to East Texas went to Moab. Spanish Trail was listed in the Trailer Life as in the $30+ range. Got hit for $52. Moved the next day to a BLM primative site on the Colorado River for my old geezer rate of $6. Great Views, level, fire ring, nice table, not too far to walk to the latrine. River access would have been tough with the steep banks.

RE: Temporary Mail Forwarding
Is there some sort of mail service, that could scan all mail, and send it via the internet to my email address? It sounds good, but there must be some shortcomings?

RE: Dallas to Carlsbad
We had the grandkids on our Christmas trip 2006 to Carlsbad. We overnighted at Monahans State Park, Monahan Texas. Neat Sand dunes, the park had it's own exit on the interstate, but you were far enough and enough dunes that you couldn't hear interstate noise.

RE: Campgrounds along the Mississippi in Missouri?
Trail of Tears State Park near Cape Girardeau has a campground with a view of the Mississppi. However between the campground and the River there is busy railroad. I'll bet there were at least 4 trains after Midnight go through on my visit there.
In fact I pulled in front forward with Motorhome to have view of the River thru the Windshield.

RE: Does anyone winter in Georgia or South Carolina.
South Carolina State Parks system is offering a snowbird rate of $300 plus tax, ($386) at their beachfront parks. I was at Hunting Beach Monday---some rather small spaces, and also some larger ones. Beach looked great.

RE: lite hookup for toad
My toad is a 99 Jeep Cherokee. I had the trailer place install the 4 wire connector under the jeep, attached to the frame. Then I plug in a set of Magnetic Lights to the rear plug. I have a front plug that plugs into the motorhome. Works for me.

RE: Medigap and under 65
I qualified for Medicare @ age 63, due to Social Security declaring me disabled. I didn't have many choices for a Medigap Policy, just 2, one fairly expensive. I found that a Medicare Advantage Carrier(Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield) would take me, at $0 premium.
In my area, most doctors are listed by the Medicare Advantage Carrier. That might not be the case elsewhere.

RE: Camping in Pecos Texas
Not far from Pecos is Monahan's State Park, Monahan Texas. I was there Dec 2007. Got a pull thru with 30 Amp. Really unusual place with the sand dunes all aroung you. About a mile off the interstate.
It would be worthwhile for you to check out the Texas Stae Park Site on the net.

RE: RV parks in Laredo TX area and crossing the border
Lake Casa Blanca, Texas State Park on the East Side of Laredo. Been there 7-9 times in the past 6 years, although last trip was in 2007. Fairly nice park, near desert enviroment. Electric and water, a few sites with sewer, probably booked with the camp hosts. There are a few sites that really unlevel. Security is pretty good.
Laredo is not much of tourtist destination. Lots of heavy trucks all over town. We were operating a 'Garden Art Business". Purchasing iron Trelles, Benches, baskets, etc from the Texas Wholesalers, who in turn were buying the goods from the fabricators across the border. We sold our goods at fairs and festivals until the encomey went to pot.

RE: flag on towed vehicle
My solution was to buy the wireless backup camera from PepBoys for $89. Replaced the center top clearance light with the camera, used the electric for the camera. It requires that turn on the lights, but that's no big deal.
I don't know if I am compliance with DOT with one less clearance light. Not too worried about it.

RE: TN/GA Campgrounds Off I-75 Mid January Travel
You will have to check to see if they are open, but a couple years ago, we stayed at Cove Lake TN State park, North of Knoxville. Right off the interstate, found a pull-thru. Electric with central water points, don't remember the cost, but it must have been right.

RE: Southern Ontario Canada to Myrtle Beach in December
I have stayed at Camp Creek State Park, exit 20 on I-77 in the snow. I think it was Feburary. It was great, mountain stream, pull thru electric with central water points. But call them about being open, I think they are open all year.

How early in the winter, should I try to get here to get a site? I was there in March 2007 and it was still full with Canadians.

RE: All Year RV Park in S. Carolina?
There was a Craigslist listing under RVs for a long term lot on the Cooper River in past few days.
Perhaps a few weeks at Buck Hall, a NFS campground northeast of Mt Pleasant on the intercoastal waterway might get you into area.

RE: Laredo, Texas
The late wife and I used to go to Laredo a couple times a year, (2003-2007) to purchase goods for her "Garden Art" Business. We stayed at the Lake Casa Blanca State Park on the East side of Town. It is a very nice state park. The park is around a lake and lots of locals fish the lake. So there is some traffic in and out of the park.
Most sites are Electic and Water, although they were adding sewer at some sites. Some site are not the least bit level, others very good.
Not much shade, we tried avoid the Summers, 110' possible.
Laredo is not much of tourist destination. Lots of shopping of Mexican produced goods. The Mercado (Market) across the border is withing walking distance. But with recent problems, I would stay on the Texas. You can find just about anything on the Texas side that you can find in Neuvo Laredo.
We did enjoy the adventure of Laredo, the friendliness of the residents, and of course the bargins.

RE: Heading west in Jan----where to go
Nobody has added Big Bend National Park. It is worth a week or so by itself. Then Monahans Sand Dunes, Fort Davis, etc.

RE: Amazon.com
Coffeyville was my hometown from birth until 1960. If Amazon is where I think is, in the industrial park. It was built during WWII as a P-38 training Base. It was years before I reliezed that not all planes had twin fuselages.
