Day 16, Monday, November 4, 2024 - Aiken State Park, Aiken, SC, Day 2 - 0 Miles, 1,080.9 Miles for the Trip
Three times around the campground loop equals a mile walk. Not much is going on. There are 4-5 RVs in the 25 site campground. Most are water & electric, but there are a few full hook up sites, including the empty host site.
If you are planning a stay here, particularly in a tent, be sure to put things away at night. During my walk I saw many raccoon prints in the sand.
I discovered that while a connection with the WRVO app (my hometown station in Oswego) worked fine on AT&T, as did WXXO in Rochester, NY where I listen to Hearts of Space, an interesting weekly collection of ambient music I enjoy, not so good connecting to KBACH (KBAQ) in Phoenix, AZ. Lots of breaks which doesn't go over well with classical music. Still, it is fast enough for web pages & facebook, and I even managed to FaceTime my daughter in Takoma Park, MD last night.
After breakfast I sat outside and read. Current book is A. J. Stewart's 18th Miami Jones book, Outside Lanes. They are fast reads, but interesting, even for a non sports person like me. I'm also listening to Edna Buchanan's Act of Betrayal during my driving an morning walks.
I took a break from reading to do lunch ( a turkey sandwich) then it was back outside in the 72°F afternoon for more reading. During my walk I took a photo of the Oliver across the way:

It eventually made it up to 74°F, quite pleasant to sit outside. A few mosquitoes, but not enough to go inside. Around 4:30 I headed in to do my exercises & start dinner.
Dinner was Knorr's Creamy Pesto with added chunks of chicken.
