We may be too far east for you as you pass through Missouri on 65 and you say that you want to stick close to main routes, but we are just off Hwy 63 in mid-Missouri and we'd love to share an April evening with you. And maybe a wee bit of beverage as well
We too love NOLA, but haven't been there for a long time. We don't have a fancy place, but you would be welcome to use our 30 amp electric and we have a long water hose. Not resort standards, but the price is right! We haven't yet figured out the black tank issue for overnighting
You might even relax with a fishing line in our little pond. Just an offer to forum friends
