Some people would like to be able to avoid these areas, rather than try to get out of them after the fact

.....I tend to

research areas that I want to visit

All I can tell you all is if you are planning to go to Tom Sawyer's CG, which I might add IS a great place to go to park on the great Mississippi...........but:

Do NOT use your GPS directions! USE the CG directions.

I went in as a newbie Full Timer using my GPS, MH towing AND could NOT turn around when I found myself in one of the worst areas of town. Gang members stepping in front of and coming up to the MH while I tried to make my way thru. :E

I went thru each and every stop sign 'praying' I would meet up with a cop! And yes, once I made that second turn in, 'visually' I KNEW I had done bad.

That was the day I started researching all my destinations before heading out! :C
