Day 153, Friday, March 20, 2026 - Meaher State Park, Spanish Fort, AL, Day 2 - 0 Miles, 6,110.6 Miles for the Trip.
52°F overnight, 58°F for my morning walk, 71 °F at noon, & and the high for the day was 72°F.
I thought about changing my reservation for site 29 next February to somewhere in the middle of the campground to avoid the I 10 noise, but during my walk is wasn't any quieter anywhere else in the campground. As you move away from I 10 you get closer to US 90, both heavy traffic roads.
After my morning walk and breakfast I had a visit from Mike, another Escape 21 owner. We sat around talking for much of the morning. Around lunch time I headed to Publix for milk and other stuff. A bit more expensive than most of the other grocery stores I've been to lately, but well stocked. I even found Thomas's Corn-Toaster-Cakes, something I've been missing since early in the trip.
The wind wasn't too bad so I spent most of the afternoon outside reading. This was one of the times I wish my awning was working. Too much sun so I sat in my chair that has a built in sunshade and turned it as the day progressed. I finished Dana Stabenow's Restless in the Grave, and am currently reading The Black Bird Oracle, #5 in the All Souls series by Deborah Harkness, an interesting series that take witches & werewolves as normal everyday parts of modern day life.
Around 4:00 I headed to the bathroom for a shower. I rated them a C the last time I was here stating they had plenty of hot water, but a cold room. This time the room was OK, but the water (a non adjustable push button) was cold enough to shock you. After the 15th 20 second push it warmed enough to be able to stand in it to rinse, but overall it was terrible. If there is anything I hate more than a cold room it is a cold shower. As to the description, three showers, one disabled, a small drying area with a towel rack & bench, a shower curtain between it & the shower and a 4" lip that doesn't quite keep the drying area floor dry. Overall it drops down to a D.
Back at the trailer I read for a bit, then made dinner.
I had a large lunch so dinner was just snacks.
Until Next Time -
