2024-25 Trip to the Southeast, Day 29

Day 29, Sunday, November 17, 2024, Falling Waters State Park, Chipley, FL, Day 4 - 0 Miles, 1,519.5 Miles for the Trip

Another quiet night, at least once the kids in the tent next door settled in. A little warmer at 53°F overnight & 58°F for my morning walk. I listened to the Sunday puzzle on Weekend Edition as usual, only an hour earlier since the local NPR station starts Morning Edition at 7:00AM rather than 8:00AM for my home town NPR station. Of course, with the time zone change, if I listened to WRVO on the internet it would also be an hour earlier...

Lots of folks left during the day, and a few arrived; the campground is about 1/2 full. The tent campers next door left and 10 minutes later another one arrived. The older of the kids who left locked one of the men's toilet doors, then crawled out. In older times, I'd crawl under & unlock it, but I don't bend as well as I used to so I'll leave that for others.

Another day spent sitting outside reading. It got up to 78°F during the day. I made my usual Sunday phone calls - my brother is doing well & is settling into his new house in the Catskills. Everything at home is going well according to son Kyle, and the Guidos are trying to get the Scamp fiberglass damage caused by the AAA repaired before they put the trailer to bed for the winter. 

I finished Louise Penny's A World of Curiosities, and started Alan Dean Foster's Jed the Dead. I haven't read all that many of his books, but have enjoyed the last two.

I folded up & put away my large outdoor mat & replaced it with my 2' square one in preparation to leaving tomorrow.  I don't need to hurry in the morning since I'm only going 75 miles to the next stop.

That is about it for the day.

Dinner was a salad.

More Tomorrow -
