Day 151, Wednesday, March 18, 2026 - Tickfaw State Park, Springfield, LA, Day 3 - 0 Miles, 5,924.8 Miles for the Trip.
42°F overnight, 50°F for my morning walk, 58 °F at noon, & and the high for the day was 65°F.
Not quite as cold last night, but there is little sun this morning.
The water level in the tent loop has gone down enough that they reopened the road. Some sites are still pretty wet, but many are usable, They have a bunch of prefab tents on platforms that are well above the ground.
I sat out for a couple of minutes after my walk (still in my quilted jacket) then gave up and went into the trailer for breakfast. I am currently listening to Larry McMurtry's By Sorrow's River, the second of the Barrybander series. I read the first but the second was only available at the NYPL as an audio book. While there are a few books that are better in the audio version, this, like most is better read. In any case I have 10 and 1/2 hours to go. I'll listen on my way to Meaher State Park tomorrow.
After breakfast I read on line for a bit, did an update to the Fiberglass Rally Map, and read Dana Stabenow's Restless in the Grave (Shugak #19). I know I said I was done with the series, but an unread one appeared in Book Bub for $1.99 and I couldn't pass it by.
Still only 58°F at noon & gloomy, so I'm reading in the trailer. I made a bag of microwave popcorn as an afternoon snack. While I didn't burn it, it still set off the smoke alarm.
The sun poked through a couple of times during the afternoon, but for the most part is was heavy clouds.
Dinner was a Healthy Choice Sweet & Sour Chicken Bowl.
Until Next Time -
