The last of the holiday weekend residents departed today. The campground is back into sleepy midweek mode. I am all alone in my part of the campground. A handful of RVs came in late in the afternoon. I imagine they are travelers that will be gone in the morning.

I got the idea to drive up the east side of Lake Seminole today. It proved to be a difficult to impossible task. First the road is way back from the shore. You wouldn’t know there was a lake if you didn’t look at a map. The next surprise was the number of nice wide roads that turned into dead ends. I had to turn around three times when the road came to an end. The only way out to the north was after looping back around to the east and south. I didn’t get very far north, but I did see lots of solar panels. A passed through and around a very large solar power gathering site. Overall my drive was far more east than north. I was north of Tallahassee before I dropped south, picked up Interstate 10 and returned forty miles to the west and home. It was a lot of miles in a very pretty rural Southwest Georgia, Northern Florida area.

In another sign that fall is approaching I noticed that sunset is getting earlier. The time of sunset between Sunday and today has changed by five minutes. I am paying attention so I can walk up the hill to see the sunset over Lake Seminole. Tonight’s sunset was brighter, but less interesting than last nights.
