As for the weather: high 60's low 70's with rain chances pretty good.

RE: Southeast Texas to the Smoky Mountains
First off most RV parks are closed in the winter by 5PM so I’d be looking at the Saturday start. From where you are to Memphis is 576 miles which in a RV is a very long haul. Going to take you around 9 and a half hours just to drive it and that doesn’t include time for your gas and other stops. A more logical stop (443 miles) would be in downtown Little Rock right on the river. Downtown Tell them you want a spot that backs up (you can also pull in) to the river.
From Little Rock, Nashville is only 350 miles which is very doable. While I haven’t stayed here Nashville I have been by the RV park on a number of occasions and it is only 3 miles from the Grand Ole Opry.
I’ve stayed here in Pigeon Forge Smokies it’s a nice park conveniently located and the trolley stops right in front of the RV park. Course I don’t know if you want to be riding a trolley or not in the winter time.
On the way home if you put in Pigeon Forge and your city it wants to bring you back through Birmingham and Baton Rouge 1,030 miles vs 1,007 coming back the same way you went. Birmingham and I10 will beat you to death, I wouldn’t do it in a RV if I didn’t have to.
To me it makes more sense to come home the same way you went and if you do than this would be the time to consider Tom Sawyer because from Pigeon Forge to there would be 425 miles and would still leave you 582 miles to do on your last day.
I would bite the bullet and figure 2 nights on the way home. Possibly staying at Parkers Crossroad Nice Park which is 315 miles from Pigeon Forge and maybe Texarkana, AR for the 2nd night right at 400 miles at either exit 7 Rising Sunor down on 59 south of Texarkana at RV Park
Remember it’s winter time so call ahead early for reservations or they will be closed when you get there. I would definitely make a reservation in Pigeon Forge at least 2 months in advance if not more.

RE: Bar Harbor Campground
CloudDriver,
I have read that Bar Harbor has a shuttle. Did you take the shuttle, while you were in the area?
I stayed there for 15 nights. They take cash or check no cc. They have a shuttle, I didn't use it.
We had 2 different sites for our stay. Didn't have a problem getting a site.
Make sure you get the Lobster dinner delivered to your site. 2 lobsters, 2 ears of corn and 2 pounds of mussels. It was 34.95 delivered to the site back about 4 years ago.

RE: Snowbird Report Card
We were also in the valley more specific Weslaco and out of 93 days we probably only had to stay in 20 or so days without Happy Hour

RE: Niagara Falls, NY State Park info needed
It would be very hard to walk to all the attractions however I reckon it could be done. I doubt they would let your dog in tho.

RE: Boondocking in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland
As a member of both Boondockerswelcome.com and Harvest Hosts, I had no problem finding places to boondock in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
My favorite place of all time was at Hennigar's Farm Market in Wolfville, NS
I pulled a 40ft 5th wheel.

RE: Rio Grande Valley question
I stayed in Harlingen last year at a place called Eastgate. 6 month rate was $785 for a first time visitor. The people were nice but could barely fit the 5th wheel on the site.
This year I moved over to Weslaco at a place called Ranchero Village rate is right at $500 per month but the sites are wide and long with free cable and high speed internet included. Lots of activities here, friendly people.

RE: How far south do you need to go for Christmas
I'm staying at Ranchero Village, Weslaco Texas about $500 a month includes cable and high speed internet for a very nice slab site that is wide enough to park your RV and vehicle aide by side.
82 yesterday expecting to hit 79 later today and 80 tomorrow. Supposed to hit 49 Sunday before going back up into the 60's

Lady Bugs?
Well we haven't used the 5th wheel in about 5 months until yesterday when we hooked up to it and pulled it about 440 miles where we stopped for the night and went to bed. When we got up this morning there were all of these bugs that looked like Lady Bugs on the rear Picture window. Anyone have any ideal what they are and how do we get rid of them? Other then killing each and every one of them. What if they've laid eggs?
Thanks

RE: What temperature do you leave your home at
I have a Heat Pump. Bought the house brand new and never went anywhere, the first Heat Pump lasted 10 years. The first pump went out the week before we left for the first winter. We've had this pump for 14 years and we go away for 4 or 5 months at a time and we leave it on 54 degrees while away.

RE: Anyone joined Harvest Hosts ?
I am currently a member and have been one for 4 years with 1 more year on my current 3 year membership.
Although I didn't use it this year hopefully I will next year.
The prettiest place we ever spent the night and we spent 3 nights there was on a farm in Wolfville, Nova Scotia that overlooked the Bay of Fundy.
We have used Harvest Host's approximately 10 times. We have always purchased something from the host.
I have used Harvest Host's in 3 States and 3 Canadian Providences.
If I had been aware of it when I made my trip to the West Coast 5 years ago I would have stayed at a lot more places.
