Update: We did find a place to stay, finally. We have to rent it for two days even though we can only stay one.
Living in Dallas is a big problem because of rush hour traffic. It doesn't calm down until at least 7 or 8 on a Friday night. If we were to go to some place like San Antonio, we wouldn't roll in till about midnight. That's what Wal Marts (or casinos, truckstops, rest areas, etc.) are for, I guess.
RoyB-Thanks. We've seen Medicine Park---very cool little town. Next time we're in that neck of the woods we'll keep it in mind.
Off Pavement-We'd like water and electric hookups this time around. I've tent camped before, as I think the wife has. We'd like to plug in this time around but will look at the links. Thanks.
sdianel-It seems like weekends are the problem. Looking at websites, we can often get a place for Sunday...but not Saturday. We're both in our fifties, need to report to work on Monday, so that poses a problem.
We're very new to this, having just bought our first Chinook. Some of the problem may be that everyone wants to see the fall foliage. I guess we'll have to start planning in advance. That's a shame because we were hoping for a bit more spontaneity.
