2024-25 Trip to the Southeast, Day 110

Day 110, Thursday, February 6, 2025, Wandering Oaks RV Park, Milton, FL - 102.1 Miles, 3,672.8 Miles for the Trip

The campground was still full when I did my morning walk, although there were a couple of other RVs packing up & heading out today. After breakfast I spent some time on the internet reading forums & journals, then finished packing up the trailer to head west.

No one in line at the dump station, although as soon as I stopped someone pulled up behind me. I hate to have someone waiting behind me, although I tend to dump much faster than most since I have relatively small tanks (29 gallons) and they are rarely full. In any case, I dumped & headed out of the campground around 11:00.

I stopped at Love's # 561 about 1/2 way to Milton, used my membership app and paid 2.69 per gallon for regular. Much better than the $3.00 at both ends of the drive. 

I arrived at Wandering Oaks around 12:45, found site 3 and set up. Lots of traffic noise, something I haven't had for months of staying at state parks, although inside the trailer is isn't bad, and with the windows closed even better. Fairly level site (1" correction side to side & none needed for the tongue. Since I'm staying for a week, I unhooked the truck. 

The site has a small concrete slab, a small concrete picnic table, and is on fine gravel with full hookups. Since I dumped on the way out of Falling Waters, I didn't hook up to the sewers, but may dump on my way out. I started with the 30 amp receptacle, but my Progressive Industries power monitor wouldn't connect the trailer, showing a P1 error or reverse polarity. I used my adapter to connect to the 50 amp receptacle & everything worked.

Site 3

Lots of shade from the oaks, most of which have lots of leaves. Good thing AT&T is fast at 43.66Mbps down & 18.21Mbps up since it would be impossible to find a clear view of the northern sky for the Starlink Mini. $50.00 per night although there might be a discount for a full week stay. They bill at the end of the stay, and I only paid a deposit.

I thought about going to Walgreens since they let me know the usual 3 ways (text, email & a phone call) that my prescriptions are ready, and according to my Garmin they are about 5 miles away, but since the stuff from Amazon isn't due until tomorrow, I can make 3 stops, Walgreens, the UPS store, and Walmart and in that order they line up to a 9.3 mile trip. By the way, I just watched an Amazon Prime truck make a stop here in the campground, so I guess I could have saved at least one stop tomorrow.

It hit 77°F outside & 80°F in the trailer so I fired up the AC. Now, at 2:30 most of the sun is behind clouds and the outside temperature is down to 75°F so I went back to the MAXX fan & open windows.

Dinner was a Scott & Jon's Shrimp Scampi Bowl.

Until Next Time -
