We always go through Atlanta but have learned to do it on weekends or at non rush hour traffic times......

We are in Ft Myers and will leave for Minnesota this weekend. We have a couple of different routes if the weather is looking bad in one of these areas. We will go to Birmingham, there is a rv park at a college in Hoover. As long as there isn't a game being played they have openings and it's all blacktop with full hook-ups and pull thru's. And then towards Memphis on 78 . South of memhpis at Horn Lake we go south to Tunica and stay at the Grand Casino or head north on I55 and stay at Caruthersville Mo. at the Avatar Casino. Full hook-ups, pull thru's. From Caruthersville Mo. we take I55 to I270 west side of St. Louis to I70 west. Then we either take US 61 north to a state park by Mt. Pleasant Ia. and north on US218 to Austin or go west on I70 to Kansas City I435 to I35 north and stop at Terrible s Casino at Osceola Ia. Full hook ups,pull thrus. And continue north on I35 to Minnesota then east on I90. We don't gamble much but a game of Texas Hold'em is always fun. I pull a silverado 4x4 four down behind a 38' GulfStream DP Scenic Cruiser. The other way we go from Florida is west on I10 to Bay St. Louise MS. and stay at the Hollywood Casino, full hook-ups. Then I 10 west toI55 and north to Tunica or Caruthersville Mo.
