2024-25 Trip to the Southeast, Day 20

Day 20, Friday, November 8, 2024 - Little Ocmulgee State Park, McRae, GA, Day 3 - 0 Miles, 1,249 Miles for the Trip

Another warm night with the outside thermometer only going down to 70°F.

I decided to try the lodge restaurant for breakfast. I'm not impressed - a buffet with OK biscuits & gravy, dried up sausages, grits, some lousy pastries, dried up orange slices & a couple of apples. The coffee was OK. All for $17.00. I didn't bother trying for lunch, although I might at least look tomorrow.

On the way back I stopped to look at the lake:

Back at the campground I went for my morning walk, read on the laptop, then sat outside reading my Kindle. While it isn't raining, it is very humid - my weather station says 91%, down from 95% last night, and 74°F. It hit 78 during the afternoon.

The campground hosts are cleaning up the empty sites - the campground is well under half full. As to sites, if it looks like heavy rain, site 53 (mine) appears to be one of the lowest in the park. There are signs that it was flooded during the hurricane, and even the medium rain we had over the last couple of days made a 6" deep puddle in front of the site.

More trailers arrived during the afternoon, but the campground is still less than half filled. Some of the sites are tough to get into. Narrow roads with trees & stuff along the edges. Almost feel guilty taking up a pull through site with a small trailer.

Dinner was a Butterball turkey burger & canned succotash. I do wish I could find the real canned succotash, the kind that only had Lima beans and creamed corn. I haven't seen it in years. All I can find is a version that is mostly diced tomatoes with a few Lima beans and whole kernel corn.

More Tomorrow -
