GTW Hop 15: Bossier City LA to Livingston TX
This hop, except for the first 16 miles, was entirely on roads with traffic lights and crossing traffic. Jett didn’t like it at all, especially when the speed limit – even on 2-lane roads in relatively congested areas – rose to 70 mph when we crossed into Texas. And with no Obama signs to be seen anywhere, it was clear that we were not in Massachusetts anymore.
But the roads were actually easy to drive, the traffic wasn’t heavy and the scenery was relaxing – rolling hills and a mix of fields and patches of trees. No forest, really.
Our destination was Rainbow’s End, the home park of the Escapees RV Club. It is where our mail is being forwarded, so we will pick up our mail tomorrow. And we hope to learn more about this fascinating retirement community for full-time RVers.
I should mention that the temperature the entire way was in the 80’s and setting up in Livingston left me soaked in sweat. At 10pm it was still in the high 70’s. A thunderstorm did not do much to cool things off.
Jett is in her element.
