Day 141, Sunday, March 8, 2026 - Fort Stockton RV Park, Fort Stockton, TX, Day 2 - 0 Miles, 5,070.2 Miles for the Trip.
46°F overnight, 52 for my morning walk, 74°F at noon, and the high for the day was 76°F.
For those that can't abide traffic noise, you need to look elsewhere. I 10 is not too far from the park, and while there isn't direct noise, there is a constant background hum. With the windows closed it almost goes away; putting some low level music on the radio covers it.
I slept in a little extra this morning since my internal clock is messed up. Both crossing a time zone and daylight savings time didn't help with a normal sleep, although my sleep is usually anything but normal anyway.
After my morning walk up & down the rows of sites I made breakfast, sat outside and did some reading, then a little after lunch headed to Loves to fill up ($3.09 with $.10 discount) and Walmart to replace my hummingbird feeder, a bottle of Windex, and, of course, some food.
Back at the trailer I did some more sitting outside watching the RV arrive & read. Around 4:30 I headed to the showers. I used the individual room showers in the back of the park. Six stations, each with a sink, toilet & shower. While there is a shower curtain, some water gets under it and wets the closest 1/4 of the floor. Still plenty of room to get dry. Lost of shelves in the shower with adjustable hot water and a standard shower head. Only one hook in the drying area but a bench that you can use for your stuff. Overall, a B+.
I hooked up the trailer to save doing it in the morning & will disconnect the water after dinner. I also added a bit of air to the trailer tires with the Viair compressor.
Dinner was a Chef Ramsey Alfredo Lasagna with Chicken, the first time I've had it. Like all the Chef Ramsey meals, pretty good, although they do a good job of hiding the chicken.
Until Next Time -
