Friday, September 6, 2024, Lakeport State Park, MI, Day 3 - 0 Miles, 374.8 Miles for the trip.
Much warmer overnight; it only got down to 66°F outside & 69°F in the trailer even with the Maxx fan running and most of the windows open. A little after midnight a light rain started & continued until morning. I did go for my usual morning walk after the rain stopped, although there was still a heavy mist & no sun. Cool at 64°F
After breakfast I read some forums & journals, then finished my current book - Terry Goodkind's First Wizard's Rule and started Jimmy Breslin's The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight. Glad Goodkind's book was on a Kindle - his paperbacks are usually 2" + thick; this one is 852 pages in the print version. First Wizard's Rule is the first of a series of 11 books...
With the lousy weather, I spent most of the day in the trailer reading. I did walk around looking for new arrivals and found a few as well as a couple groups talking:
Around 1:15 I headed for the showers. Individual shower rooms across from the bathrooms. One "family" bathroom with shower & toilet/sink, one handicapped shower, and 5 individual shower rooms. The one I used had a large drying area with 1 hook & a bench. The shower stall was large enough, shower head a standard one with adjustable temperature control. No shelf in the shower stall. Flat floor between the shower stall & the drying area, no shower curtain, but little runoff into the drying area. Overall, a B.
After my shower I made another round of the campground. Ever had a few minutes of sun:
At 6:00 I headed to site 65 for a Hobo Pie gathering. Hobo Pies are made using pie irons.
I've added a second page to the Algonac/Lakeport Rally Pages.
