2024-25 Trip to the Southeast, Day 101

 Day 101, Monday, January 28, 2025, Three Rivers State Park, Sneads, FL, Day 5 - 0 Miles, 3,521.5 Miles for the Trip

Had some excitement at home - the hot water stopped working, and of course it was a weekend so they didn't come to fix it until Monday morning. They fixed it but I haven't received the bill so don't know what they did. One thing they did that they shouldn't have was disconnected the "C" wire to the upstairs thermostat. Since Kyle stays mostly in his basement room, he didn't notice it cooling off (it was in the low 30's during the day, going down to 16°F overnight). I happened to check the on line status of the thermostat & is was off line. Called Kyle, he checked and it was cold upstairs. Called the heating people & they immediately sent someone out, reconnected the "C" wire and all is well. Hope they don't charge for the extra call to fix their mistake.

During an evening walk last night I discovered a Casita nearby, although it was gone by 9:30AM. Lots of sunshine this morning and 47°F at 8:30, 52°F at 11:00AM. During my walk this morning I found only one open site before a couple of trailers left. While it had a reserved sign on it, I'm not sure the park is still following the sign at the entrance to the campground. It says you can take any site that doesn't have a reserved sign, but when I arrived my site didn't have one. I suspect they keep track of on line reservations & make new ones at the park entrance station. In any case, we are near full.

I sat outside for awhile. As long as the sun was shining, the 56°F didn't feel all that cold, but as clouds moved in it got chilly & I headed inside. I finished Mike Lawson's House Divided and started Louise Penny's The Grey Wolf. Very different writing styles that take a bit of getting used to. 

I didn't bother doing any early packing of the trailer. I only have to go 47 miles tomorrow to get to Falling Water State Park. I stayed there for 4 days in November on the way down and liked the park and area. I'll be in a different site that is a bit further from the bathrooms & dumpsters.

Enough sun came out that I sat outside and read for more of the afternoon, then chatted with an Eco owner.

Dinner was an El Monterey Chicken Enchilada Bowl.

Until Next Time -
