Day 152, Thursday, March 19, 2026 - Meaher State Park, Spanish Fort, AL - 185.8 Miles, 6,110.6 Miles for the Trip.
42°F overnight, 72°F for my Afternoon walk, 68 °F at noon, & and the high for the day was 72°F.
Other than the first couple on miles which were on narrow Louisiana parish roads, the trip was on I 12 & I 10. The traffic was heavy around Biloxi and Mobile. I stopped for gas at Loves #846 ($3.34) & a Berryland Camper store where I paid way too much for a Camco LP adapter hose. I arrived at the park at 2:10.
I'm in site 25, a full hookup back in site looking out over the bay. The site is on asphalt, with a picnic table & charcoal grill and is close to the bathrooms. I'm here for 3 nights with a base charge of $46.00 per night. With reservation fee & taxes it comes to $51.55 per night. While there are some pine trees on the north side of the site, little shade. There is traffic noise from the I 10 causeway to the south and if you are on the northern side of the park, traffic noise from US 90. When sitting outside at site 25 the noise from I 10, even though it is all the way across the bay, is loud. There is something to be said about the fact that sound travels easier over water. It is louder than the traffic noise along side I 10 out west where it is a 10th of the distance away.

After setting up I walked around the park checking out the new section. It was just being finished the last time I was here. The new bathrooms are 10 individual rooms with disabled showers, a toilet & sink. The entire building is raised on 10' pilings.
I checked out both Verizon & AT&T. Verizon is 33.84Mbps down & 35.18Mbps up, while AT&T is 24.24Mbps down & 3.71Mbps up.
After setting up I sat outside for a bit reading.
Dinner was Chef Ramsay's Lemon Caper Chicken.
Until Next Time -
