Re: Trip Planning from Spokane > Port Huron, MI in May
We traveled part of that route a few years ago. We can share some of our experiences and suggestions with you. We stayed at a free campground at Haugen, MT. It's the Silver Dollar Casino at Exit #16. They have 30 amp hookups, but no water or sewer. It was OK....for free. The restaurant at the casino was not great. We liked Mountain View RV park in Sundance. We got their Passport America rate of $16.50 The water there was great. Normally we would buy jugs of drinking water along the way, but in Sundance, we filled our water jugs from the tap, it was that good. We took a day and visited Devil's Tower, worth the drive. If you're into aviation museums, there's The South Dakota Aviation Museum at Ellsworth AFB near Rapid City, not too far off the freeway, and their parking lot is plenty big for RV's In Mitchell,SD, we stayed at the R&R Rv park. It was an OK campground for $15. We visited the Corn Palace, kind of an interesting place. If your route takes you near the Twin Cities, I'd recommend staying at Dakotah Meadows RV Park in Prior Lake, just southwest of Minneapolis. It's a very nice park for just $26/night. Just make sure you ask for one of the single sites up the hill along the back row. (a lot of the other sites are back-to-back with shared hookups.) It's an easy walk to the Mystic Lakes Casino, a very nice "Las Vegas" style casino with an excellent atrium restaurant. That was in 2011, our route from there took us south through Iowa. Hope you have a great trip.301Views0likes0CommentsUPS Mailbox Service
If you are using UPS Mailbox Service and decide to cancel the service and return to an actual physical address, you need to be aware that the US Postal Service will NOT forward your mail to your new address. In fact, in the fine print of your UPS Mailbox Service agreement, you agree not to submit a forwarding order with USPS when you terminate the UPS Mailbox Service. The only ways to continue to get your mail, would be to pay UPS to forward your mail for a period of time, or to notify every correspondent of your new address. (and hope you don't miss any) I found this out the hard way, guess I should have read the fine print. The US Postal Service actually sent me a confirmation of my mail forwarding, but I found out that was incorrect and my mail was being returned as undeliverable, or in some cases, destroyed.2.3KViews0likes8CommentsRe: RV Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!
If you're traveling I-5 in Oregon, the 76 Station at Exit #278 (Donald/Aurora) has Diesel for $2.89/gal. The station is on the east side of the freeway just beyond the Aurora Acres RV Resort. Not sure how long this price will be in effect as the station has just re-opened under new management.306Views0likes0Comments
