Day 11, Wednesday, October 30, 2024 - Chester State Park, Chester, SC, Day 3 - 0 Miles, 936.3 Miles for the Trip
A short period of light rain both yesterday afternoon and after dinner. Not enough to even wet the truck, let alone the grass & dirt.
Warmer than last night; 57°F at 7:00AM. During my morning walk I discovered there is a Rivian charging station at the Ranger Station.
A pop up next to me left yesterday morning, and a small single axle stick built trailer left late yesterday. There were a couple of new arrivals. The campground is 3/4 full. A mix of tents, small single axle and double axle stick built trailers as well as a couple of large 5th wheels & motorhomes. I overestimated the number of sites - there are 25 plus a host site. There are also some dry walk in tent sites and 2 large dry group sites and a couple of cabins. The entire camping area including the bathrooms are a bit worn, but clean & well cared for. A crew goes through and cleans the sites when someone leaves, and the bathrooms are well stocked & spotless.
There are two showers, both have hand held shower heads clipped to the shower head pipe and high enough that it is an overhead "rain" shower for all but the tallest. Variable temperature that eventually gets hot enough to turn down, a soap dish and a hanging shelf for your stuff. The drying area has 2 small hooks & a small portable table. No lip between the shower & drying area so some of the floor gets wet even with a shower curtain between the shower & drying room. There are additional hooks in the part of the room outside the showers. The water is soft enough that you will spend more time rinsing than washing. Overall, a C+.
A warm 73°F afternoon with clouds drifting by. I spent most of the afternoon reading. Current book is Edna Buchanan's Contents Under Pressure.
Dinner was a Butterball turkey burger & chips.
More Tomorrow -
