Day 145, Thursday, March 12, 2026 - Palmetto State Park, Gonzales, TX, Day 2 - 0 Miles, 5,443.7 Miles for the Trip.
50°F overnight, 50°F for my morning walk, 57°F at noon, and the high for the day was 65°F.
While it stayed warm for most of the night, by 6:00AM it was down to 50°F. It didn't warm up all that much throughout the day. After breakfast I spent some time on the internet reading. AT&T shows 53.05Mbps down & 2.69Mbps up, but often hangs up for longer than the speed indicates when opening a page. The Starlink Mini probably would not be any better since there is heavy tree cover in all directions from my site. Verizon is working with my phone for internet radio, but I didn't fire up the modem to check it.
I'm told this is Texas weather. 82°F yesterday but it doesn't feel like it is going to break 60°F today (it did - the high was 65°F). My weather app says 88°F for Sunday, although I'll be long gone by then.
I headed for the showers. 2 in the men's bathroom, one disabled equipped. I used the standard one. A bench and 4 hooks in the drying area, separated from the shower by a shower curtain. The drying room floor is 1/2" higher than the shower floor but some water gets under the shower curtain wetting the first foot of the floor. A 1" high pressure, low volume shower head with dual handles for the water. You only need the hot one since the fine spray cools off by the time it hits you. I never opened the cold water handle. A soap dish in the shower. Not the cleanest I've been in, but overall not too bad - a B that would do better with a standard shower head.
More outside reading trying to stay in the sun.
Dinner was an Amy's Enchilada with Spanish Rice & Beans Bowl.
Until Next Time -
