Day 32, Wednesday, November 20, 2024, Frank Jackson State Park, Opp, AL, Day 3 - 0 Miles, 1,589.2 Miles for the Trip
The rain never started up again, and it didn't cool off. My weather app predicted 47°F overnight; it never went below 68°F and with the Maxx fan running on automatic, the inside of the trailer never got below 70F. While there are a couple of choices for 12V roof mounted fans for trailers, I prefer the Maxx fan. It can be ordered with a cover that allows it to be open & run while it is raining, provides 10 speeds, and for me, the most useful feature, a thermostat that can be used to vary the speed of the fan. As the trailer heats up, it runs faster, and as it cools, it slows down or shuts off. Handy when away from the trailer and dry camping since uses less power as it slows down.
In any case, clear skies this morning with a bit of wind. I walked the campground loop - .78 of a mile, and after breakfast decided to do laundry. 2 washers & 2 dryers, all working for a change. $1.50 to wash & $1.00 to dry. One run on high got everything dry.
After making the bed & putting the wash away, I headed for the showers. In the men's room three showers, one of which is handicapped. I used a standard shower. 1 small double hook in the drying area plus a bench. A 4" lip between the drying area & the shower, but because the shower curtain was 6" above the lip, the entire drying area floor got wet. No soap dish or shelf in the shower. A fine spray low volume showerhead and temperature control all in one. I took 4 minutes for the water to get warm (never hot enough to turn it down). It was clean. Overall, a C-.
After my shower I tried sitting outside, managed for a half hour, but even setting up my chair beside the truck, the wind was too much. I gave up & headed inside.
I decided on an late lunch / early dinner - a cheese brat & chips.
Until Tomorrow -
