Georgia on My Mind – Day 7

26 July 2024

I am really, really tired. Yesterday did me in and I haven’t recovered yet. I cleared out of the cabin that I truly didn’t want to leave and headed south to Waycross, Georgia. It took me approximately 6 hours of driving which wasn’t too bad until I got out of the jeep and realized how stiff I was from all the hiking yesterday.

Right now, it’s 50/50 as to whether I spend one night here at Laura S. Walker State Park and cut my stay short one day and head home.

The cottage is nice but no where near as nice as Smithgall Woods, but then, I’m paying a lot less for this cottage.

The temperature when I arrived was 95F. If I do hike tomorrow, it’ll be early morning. Otherwise, it’ll just be too hot.

I’m in cottage number one. Strangely, the cottages are really far away from the rest of the park (by road) but only across a lake.

Home sweet home for one or two days, depending.

The promised wifi is only at the visitors center and the campground. There is no wifi at the cabins which is strange. Because I only have two bars on my phone, that means this will be short and sweet so the upload times won’t be so long from my computer to the blog.

I will take two more Advil tonight and turn in early again. The itching is back and I keep waking up to medicate it and myself.

I did go into town to a Kroger to purchase enough for two nights. I’m tired of eating at restaurants and all the fried food. I need veggies!

Stay tuned to see if I stay two nights here or head home!

After 34 years in the classroom and lab teaching biology, I'm ready to get back to traveling and camping and hiking. It's been too long of a break. I miss the outdoors and you can follow my wanderings on this blog.
