Day 79, Monday, January 6, 2025, Little Ocmulgee State Park, McRae, GA - 162 Miles, 2,996.7 Miles for the Trip
It started out as a warm night; 60°F when I went to bed at 10:00, but cooling off the rest of the night as well as the day. It didn't warm up until I hit Little Ocmulgee State Park where it was 53°F around 3:00. Most of the drive was on 2 lane roads with passing sections - US 82 & US 280 the main roads. I'm back on Eastern Time for the next couple of weeks so I lost an hour in the day and will probably wake up at the wrong time.
I'm in site 43, next to one of the bathrooms. It is heated. The site is full hookup on gravel, with a picnic table, fire ring & charcoal grill. 1" off side to side & a lift of the tongue of 1". At this park you need to go to the hotel office to sign in since they only take a partial payment when you register plus it is the only way you can get the senior discount. Total is $42.50 per night for two nights.

I checked out AT&T and it showed 16.4Mbps down & .91Mbps up. Starlink was all over the place. First test was 96Mbps down & 3.45Mbps up, and a few minutes later 7.68Mbps down & 12.41Mbps up. Verizon was 55.77Mbps down & 2.97Mbps up. Since I have been using AT&T for the last 2 weeks, I decided to go with Starlink. I tried my new tripod. The tripod is nice, but neither the tripod itself or the adapter to the Mini has any tilting capability. While flat seems to work, the Starlink app wants me to tilt the panel.
I finished House Blood by Mike Lawson and decided to read more of his DeMarco series, checked the NY Public library through Libby and downloaded the first of the series The Inside Ring written in 2005. The problem is it isn't in the Kindle format so I have to read it using Libby. My iPhone13 Pro is too small & my iPad Pro 16 is to big & heavy. I love the size & weight of the Kindle Paper White. I probably should pick up a smaller iPad, but is seems silly just to occasionally read a book.
Dinner was an Impossible Teriyaki Chicken Bowl.
Until Tomorrow -
Jon, look for a Pillow Pad either through Amazon or available at Walmart. It's a foam pillow with three different angles. Even holding my Kindle Paperwhite is hard on my hands. I sit the pad on my lap and can then use my Kindle OR a paperback. I really like this thing! Much, much cheaper than buying more technology too.
