Thursday September 7th 2023

The bright sunny and dry weather seems to be coming to and end along with my stay here at the Eastbank campground on Lake Seminole. It was overcast this morning followed by sun most of the afternoon. As the sunset a thunderstorm moved into the area from the east. The forecast is for more rain overnight into the morning. It is arriving just in time for moving day.

This is my last full day here for this visit. There isn’t a lot to do in the area or at the park, but I really enjoy my stays here. The I’ve been here for a two week stay each year since 2020. The first year and this year each had a few days away in the middle of the stay because of weather.

The first half of my day was lazy. I lingered over my breakfast coffee and muffins. Eventually I got motivated to take my first walk of the day around the campground. Only a few RVs departed today. I suspect people are arriving for the weekend. There were a few new RVs on my second and third walks of the day. The third walk was as daylight was waning to watch my last sunset across Lake Seminole for this visit.

I have completed all of the outside travel preparation that I can do ahead of time. That way I don’t have a lot to do outside in the morning should it be raining. My goal is to leave around 10:30 or 11AM. I have about 230 miles to Ocala. It will likely take around 4 hours.
