Day 14, November 1, 2025, Natchez Trace State Park, Pin Oaks Campground, Wildersville, TN - 175.3 Miles, 1186.6 Miles for the Trip

Back at Edgar Evins we added a trailer on the other side of me just before dark, so our row total was 4 trailers. No trick or treaters so I will have to eat a lot of Snickers.

An uneventful drive mostly on I 40 except for the many lane changes & stops & goes at Nashville. The last 12 miles were on 2 lane state roads, including a rough & wavy TN 114. I arrived around 2:15. At first I thought someone was in my site then discovered that when I added the location & date to my calendar it copied the site number from my last time here. I had to look up the reservation to discover I'm in site 23, not 45.

Site 23 is a back in full hookup site on gravel with a picnic table, lantern hook (that is what I'm calling it although I've seen it used for everything from trash to fish), fire pit & grill. Three nights at $35.80 per night with Senior discount, reservation fee & misc taxes. I had to raise the passenger side of the trailer 2", the tongue was level. I still unhooked since I'll need to make a run to the store. As you can see from the Starlink Mini photo, I'm not too far from the bath house.

Site 23

I tested Verizon & AT&T. Nothing from either although AT&T did download some mail. Neither would run an internet speed test or download a web page. I set up the Starlink Mini and after alignment showed 37.67Mbps down & 25.87Mbps up.

The Starlink Mini

After setting up I headed to the Lexington, TN Giant, an IGA. Somewhat expensive, and a bit limited in choices, but a good deal of fried chicken so unless it does in my stomach, that will be dinner for at least the next two nights.

Until Tomorrow -
