17 October 2021

At least I had one good night of sleep. Last night was the duel of two air conditioners. On one side of me was a third wheel trailer and on the other side of me was one of those massive busses outfitted as an RV. They dueled all night. First one would crank up and shut off, then the other would crank up and shut off – all night long – until it reached 52F by 7 am and neither needed the air conditioner. On occasions, they would have a duet and crank up at the same time. I couldn’t believe how noisy they were.

Just about the time I got used to the singing air conditioners (around 3:30 am) I heard an argument a few campsites down from me. From the gist of it, a lady said no and the gentleman took offense. Suddenly there was a lot of slamming of car doors, hatch backs, and getting a trailer ready to pull out. They finally did around 4 am. Around 4:30 am, another large travel bus pulled out with all the accompanying sounds of a diesel starting up, air brakes testing, etc.

To compound my misery, I had to get up four times to pee. To be honest, I was worried that for the last two days I had not had my usual urination routine. Normally on a trip, I stop at every other rest stop for a pee brake. I only stopped one time on my way to north Florida and I really didn’t need to pee – it was my lunch stop and I decided it best to go then.

After hiking all day yesterday, I still didn’t have to go. Normally on any hike I take, there are typically three find-the-nearest-bush stops. Not once did I go the entire set of four hikes. When I got back to camp, I did go but there wasn’t much volume. I was getting worried. I drank a coke, an entire bottle of water, most of the water in the camel-back in my day pack, and an entire gator aid. Nada. Then it all started for real around midnight last night.

After the first midnight visit to the comfort station (yes, some parks still call them that) I at least got to follow some of the Ole Miss-Tennessee game. What they were doing playing at 11pm (CDT) I have no idea. Somehow, the game got delayed at 54 seconds remaining and I stayed up until 1 am to get the final score – Ole Miss 31, Tennessee 26. Tennessee ran out of time on the Ole Miss 18 yard line. Whew!

I finally convinced my GPS to take the back roads to Mistletoe State Park, west of Atlanta. I left Suwannee around 9:30 am and made it to Mistletoe around 3:30 pm, so that was a slow, 55 mph most of the way, scenic drive. I passed through Douglas, Louisville – the first state capital of Georgia – Wren, Thomson, and finally the park.

There’s a lot of soybeans and cotton in the fields and looks like all need harvesting. It seems awfully late for those crops to still be in the field, but what do I know, I’m not a farmer.

The campsite is near the J. Strom Thurman Lake(boo!) and it looks to be really large. I’ll explore tomorrow on some hikes. It’s way too large to hike around in one day.

My campsite is #2 and it’s clean, spacious and nowhere near any campers on either side of me. In any case, I don’t think any will be running air conditioners tonight. I’m also just across the road from the comfort station (seems to be a trend in Florida and Georgia) for my midnight runs to the bathroom.

Tonight’s low is predicted to be 46F. I have two bags with me. One rated for 50F and one rated for 30F. If it gets too cold, I’ll put one in the other.

Stay tuned!
