Day 82, Thursday, January 9, 2025, Skidaway Island State Park, Savannah, GA , Day 2 - 0 Miles, 3,153.3 Miles for the Trip
A little warmer last night; it only went down to 31°F. They divided the campground into 4 areas, I'm in area 4. During my morning walk I went through areas 4 & 3, resulting in .57 miles. Doing the entire park is probably over a mile.
Looking out my kitchen window while making breakfast a saw a family of deer in the brush across the site. Hard to see, but there are 2 in the photo, one on each side of the tree. The right side one is easy, not so the left. You may need the large image to see them. At least 3 in the herd.

Still way too cool to sit outside, 38°F at 12:40. There have been a few walkers going by the trailer, most in winter coats, hats & gloves. At least 4 RVs left this morning; as soon as they go a host or volunteer cleans up the site, turns off the breakers, etc. The campground is well kept up. An amazing amount of Spanish moss hanging from the trees.
The main road down the center of the campsites is wide enough for two way traffic, but the narrow & twisty through the trees site roads are also 2 way but barely wide enough for going one way. If two folks meet, one must find a place to pull off so the other can pass. It would really be tough if both were towing large trailers or a motorized RV towing a dinghy. The road needs to be two way because the pull through sites are loops on either side of the road & the only way you can have your utilities on the right side of RV is to drive in in the direction that works for your side of the road.
I checked my weather app, and even though is is still cool today, it isn't suppose to be below freezing until after I leave. So, I hooked up to the dripping faucet & am back on city water.
Around 3:00 I decided it wasn't going to get much warmer (43°F) and headed to the bathrooms for a shower. The good - plenty of adjustable hot water & a heated bathroom. The bad - a narrow shower head with high pressure low volume spray, no shelf in the shower, the entire drying area floor gets soaked by water that makes it under & around the stiff shower curtain. Even the top of the bench (that sticks into the shower) in the drying area gets soaked. Actually, you won't mind dipping the bottoms of your pants into the water on the floor as you get dressed because you are going to discover that both your shirt & pants will be soaked by the spray that makes it around the shower curtain and sprayed the clothes on the wall hooks. Overall, a D+, or maybe a C- because the bathroom is heated. I've been in many out west that didn't have heat even when the temperatures were in the 30's.
Dinner was an Amy's Chile Relleno Bowl.
Until Tomorrow -
