2025-26 Trip to the Southwest, Day 148

Day 148, Sunday, March 15, 2026 - Village Creek State Park, Lumberton, TX, Day 3 - 0 Miles, 5,685 Miles for the Trip.

65°F overnight, 66°F for my morning walk, 73°F at noon, and the high for the day was 76°F.

While the train noise was pretty much limited to their horns, they did run throughout the night. I heard the horns at 4:00AM & 5:00AM both nights. Far enough away that they didn't bother me, but noticeable.

After my walk & breakfast I sat outside and read. For the first time in a long while the humidity was over 60%. I got a call from Tickfaw State Park (my next stop) asking if I minded them changing my site due to flooding of roads & sites. Of course I said go ahead. Can't wait to see what the place looks like. Here the park was about 3/4 full for the weekend with a few leaving today. 

Around 2:00 I headed to HEB. Different from all the other HEB's I've been to. They have always been bigger than Walmart with a mix of groceries & stuff. This one is a grocery store only. I picked up a few things, but was not able to get a grill adapter hose to go to my 5 pound tank. My old hose started to leak. I still have my double hose, but I prefer a single one unless I want to use both the grill & the stove.

Back at the trailer it was more reading. I finished The Talisman by Stephen King & Peter Straub. Not bad; I put a hold at the NYPL for the second part. I started The Wandering Hill by Larry McMurtry.

Dinner was a griller chicken cheeseburger & a salad.

Until Next Time -
