Day 123, Wednesday, February 19, 2025, Meaher State Park, Spanish Fort, AL, Day 7 - 0 Miles, 3,744.4 Miles for the Trip
A little warmer overnight hitting 50°F at 8:00AM. I watched the Escape 5.0TA pull out during my morning walk. While RVs are leaving, just as many are coming in. There are a couple of empty sites, but the park is near full.
I finished up making the reservations for the trip to Arizona in the fall that I could make. Texas has a 6 month window, and two of my sites are first come. I also made a tentative plan for the trip back home in February.
After lunch I headed to the laundry. 3 washing machines at $1.50 per load & 3 dryers at $1.00 per load. I met a couple from North Dakota in the laundry room that has camped at many of the New Mexico campgrounds I've stayed at. They also suggested some new places to try. and pointed out that the middle dryer runs hotter and longer than the 45 minutes posted. No folding tables so I used the lids of the dryers.
After putting my clothes away I did my "day before" packing of the trailer. The site is level enough that I could hook up, and since it is suppose to be 32°F in the morning, disconnected the water & put the hose away and put the grill & 1 gallon propane tank in the truck. All I need to do in the morning is unhook the power and roll up the cord. At 32°F, rolling the cord will be a challenge. I believe the new Escapes use a cold weather electric cord; the older ones use a SO cable that is very still in cold weather.
Back at the trailer I sat inside and read. A bit too cool at 52°F outside for sitting.
Dinner was an Amy's Enchilada with Spanish Rice & Beans Bowl.
Until Next Time -
