2025-26 Trip to the Southwest, Day 164

Day 164, Tuesday, March 31, 2026 - Fort Chiswell RV Park, Max Meadows, VA, Day 3 - 0 Miles, 6,858 Miles for the Trip.

46°F overnight, 52°F for my morning walk, 69°F at noon, and the high for the day was 73°F.

The cows are all lying down in the field behind me. On the hill in front is a herd of sheep and a few more cows:

I spent the rest of the morning reading. It is nice enough to sit outside. While there was a bit of a breeze, as long as the sun peaked around the clouds it was comfortable. Unfortunately, before too long there were more clouds than sun & I moved back inside.

When I went to try for an oil change at Speedco Truck Lube & Tires I passed a building that had a sign stating Haircuts, Walk ins OK. So, after lunch I headed over & discovered the place was closed. I don't know if it was forever or just the day, but I decided to head to Wytheville Walgreens to pick up my prescriptions. Both were ready and I picked them up with no problems. Slightly cheaper co pays than in NY, but not as good as New Mexico.

As long as I was in town I checked for barber shops. The Wythe Faded Barbershop was just down main st. I called & they had no problem taking me as a walk in as long as I arrived around 2:30. I did & got my usual #3 buzz for $20.00 + a $5.00 tip. They do something that is handy if you are going to spend the day without heading to a shower. They do a shampoo after your haircut to wash out the cut hairs. I skipped it since I was planning to head to the showers when I got back to the campground.

There are 3 shower stalls in the men's bathroom, 2 with adjustable fine/course spray medium flow shower heads & 1 with a handheld shower head. I used the center one which had a large drying area, a bench, and 1 hook. Plenty of hot water once it warms up and a large shower stall. No soap dish or shelf in the shower. A cloth shower curtain & 4" lip that keeps the drying area floor dry. Overall, an A- that would be a solid A if there was another hook in the drying area and a shelf in the shower.

After my shower I sat around and read.

Dinner was a Goya Chiles Relleno.

Until Next Time -
