RV Nana found another fun adventure for the kids and a beautiful RV park to make it great for the entire family. We visited the Rusk KOA and had a wonderful weekend. The kids especially enjoyed the Texas Train that runs from Rusk to Palestine and back each weekend. The train ride was fun (got a little warm going back in the afternoon) but the grandkids had a ball. We drove from Rusk to Palestine to board the train for our excursion. The train runs back to Rusk where we got off, enjoyed a picnic lunch, entertainment, a petting zoo and a country fair type hour and a half. Then, with our tummy’s full we boarded the train for the hour back to Palestine. We took a little catnap and the kids enjoyed the ride.
If we do it again, we will make sure that our weekend at the Rusk KOA coincides with the weekend that the train departs from Rusk going to Palestine and back. We didn’t plan very well so we drove all the way to Palestine, parked the truck, rode to Rusk (could almost see the campsite from the picnic area), back to Palestine to drive the truck back to Rusk. You know what they say about the best plans.
We got back to the park where we had the most beautiful view of the canyon from our front porch, the kids checked out all the trails, played on the playground and we all biked throughout the park. What a friendly group of people….employees and RVers! Thanks Rusk KOA for a great weekend.
