I called and spoke to the Fort front desk last night. So far although they have been encouraging anyone currently at the Fort to make other arrangements, they have not been told how to handle anyone checking in on Thursday or Friday. He told me that they would call me in the event the Fort had to close.
South of the border!
We've stayed in the campground. Nothing fancy but the sites are big and it felt very secure and safe. And you can get all the shot glasses and tacky t shirts you want!
+1 on south of the border! We stayed in the campground last year, nothing fancy but it was clean and had lots of security patrols.
We'll be traveling to the fort in the fall, our kids will be one and three. Rest areas are great places to let the kids run around and get tired out, and it's better to have a nice lunch prepared in our trailer than to eat restaurant food the whole time. All the rest areas we've stopped at have been clean and well maintained.
We spent about an hour last spring in a truck stop letting our two year old run around on a rainy day. It was funny seeing some of the big tough truckers wave and smile at our little girl, she can be very outgoing.
We have a DVD player in the truck. In the morning our daughter gets to watch a movie, then afternoon is nap time. We usually plan to travel 3 hours before lunch a and another 3-4 after lunch, and be setup in a campground for dinner. It makes travel slower but much more enjoyable than trying to cover a lot of miles in a day.
