2026-27 Trip to the Southeast, Day 9

Day 9, Monday, October 26 - Lake Norman State Park, Statesville, NC , 146.9 Miles for the Day, 868.3 Miles for the Trip

39°F this morning.

I said good bye to the Guidos, and left Hungry Mother around 11:00. Most of the drive was on I 81 & I 77, although I got bored with I 77 and did part of the drive on NC 21 which runs parallel to I 77. I arrived at the park a little after 1:00, checked in at the office, and headed to my site. I'm in site 41, a full hookup site on asphalt with a gravel picnic area that has a fire ring, picnic table & hanging pole. Shade towards the back of the site & what looks to be nice morning sun at the front. I'm here for t weeks at $39.00 per night (including an $84.00 senior discount). The bathhouse is a short walk away.

Site 41

After setting up I checked the internet speeds - Verizon at 74.5Mbps down & 1.68Mbps up, AT&T nothing, and Starlink at 41.98 down & 11.61 up.

I did some reading sitting out in the sun. It hit 70°F this afternoon, and by 4:30 down to 67°F. 

Dinner was a pair of El Monterey Chicken Enchiladas.

Until Tomorrow -
