2024-25 Trip to the Southeast, Day 19

Day 19, Thursday, November 7, 2024 - Little Ocmulgee State Park, McRae, GA, Day 2 -0 Miles, 1,249 Miles for the Trip

Another warm night. It didn't get below 70°F until a little before 6:00AM. It rained until early morning, but stopped long enough for me to do a half mile walk around the campground. I met the campground host cleaning up the pine needles, leaves & mud the rain left across the roads. I thought about heading to the restaurant for breakfast, but in the end, ate in the trailer. I changed the sheets on the bed, always a good exercise routine!

During the day there was light rain off & on. During one of the breaks I headed to the loop 2 bathroom (the loop in which site 53 is located) for a shower. One regular & one handicapped. The regular has a wall mounted low volume but many jets of spray shower head and adjustable temperature. Takes a long time to warm up, but plenty hot enough when it does. A bit difficult to adjust the temperature because it takes so long for the low volume of water to reach the shower head. No lip between the shower and drying area, but there is a shower curtain & the shower head is perpendicular to it. The slope of the shower floor to the drain is good enough that very little water makes it into the small drying area. No shelves in the shower although there is a broken mount for a soap dish. 5 hooks & a bench in the drying area. Overall, a B+.

After lunch I headed to Jack's Coin Laundromat. While there is a washer & dryer in the loop 2 bathroom, the washer is broken. It is a little further from my site to the loop #1 bathroom however both the washer & dryer are working, in fact the dryer is free. Still, I have enough clothes, including heavy flannel sheets that I'd need to do a couple of loads. Looked on my phone for coin laundry & Jack's came up 2 miles away. I did a search on my Garmin & it found Jack's Coin Laundry 2,450 miles away in California. Putting the address into the Garmin worked. I used a 3 load commercial front loader for $4.00 and a large dryer the ran $.25 per 6 minutes. Not the cleanest laundromat I've used, but lots of machines available. There were carts & folding tables, and the usual for laundromats, uncomfortable chairs.

On the way back to the trailer I stopped at Piggy Wiggly for some supplies. More expensive than Food Lion, and not as well stocked.

Back at the trailer I put the food & clothes away and read for the afternoon. Still 74°F and either rain or mist outside.

Dinner was a Boston Market Sweet & Sour Chicken bowl.

More Tomorrow -
