Day 166, Thursday, April 3, 2025, Smith Mountain Lake State Park, Huddleston, VA, Day 4 - 0 Miles, 4,732 Miles for the Trip
A warm night at 55°F. A short burst of light rain around 3:00AM, but just cloudy this morning.
A quiet day mostly spent outside reading. Same books as yesterday. Around 3:00 I headed for a shower. 4 individual shower rooms, 2 that are designed for the disabled. The two smaller ones were in use, so I used the disabled shower without a hand shower head. A large drying area with a movable stool/bench, and 4 double hooks well out of the way of the shower. The shower head is perpendicular to the drying area, but no shower curtain & the same level floor. A 3" fine spray shower head with lots of pressure (just short of needle like) and plenty of adjustable temperature hot water. 2 shelves in the shower area and a permanent bench opposite the shower head. While the drying area is large enough that the shower spray doesn't cover the floor, it gets wet anyway because there is little ventilation in the room. It quickly steams up the room and the cold walls & floor condense it making everything wet. Still a solid B overall.
Around 4:45 I headed to Alessandro's for their Thursday special, Chicken Marsala. Far more than I usually eat. The salad & Marsala was good but the garlic bread served with it was not impressive - Italian bread buttered toast sprinkled with garlic powder.
Since it was still in the 70's when I got back I sat outside and read until 6:30, then headed in to do my eye drops and post my journal.
Until Next Time -
