July 26: Who Cares About Lakes When You Could Be Sleeping?

Wednesday, July 26, 2006

​I was on the road by 7:45 and drove until 6:00 p.m. Of course, I stopped for gas and quick breaks, but I was trying to get in as many miles as I could. My goal was to reach Electric* Lake State Park in Kentucky. I made it and set up camp, but it was too late to see why the lake is called “electric.” 

Reception is bad and I need to save minutes on my prepaid phone, but I managed to get a call through to Mom and let her know I’m okay.

Supper was a little lonely. I don’t know why. I’m used to eating alone.

It’s time for bed. I was up at 5:00 and my body thinks it’s after 9:00, although my watch says differently now that I’m in Central Time Zone.

*I miswrote this in my journal. I stayed at Energy Lake Campground.
