The 2026 Journey, Goliad
Wednesday, 04 March 2026, Port Lavaca, Texas
(Day 752 TS) 72°F. 6:30 am, overcast and humid
Journey On™, Day 18
Awake, arise, dress in my summer blues, climb forward, start the jammer engine, and pull slowly out of the parking space. I then drive though the parking lot to the w-mart, park, grab my computer bag and walk inside for coffee, com and computer. I remain here until just after the noon hour before I pack out. Once I am back inside the jammer, I start the engine, drive out of the parking lot and enter SH 35 heading southwest for just over twenty miles, arriving at Tivoli, Texas.
Then,I turn right and drive northwest for another thirty-six mile to the state park entrance. I drive up to the headquarters, walk inside, acquire my camping permit drive to my campsite and set up my electrical cords and then climb inside to adjust the electrical connections in order to use the campsite power instead of using my LiFePO4 battery allowing it to charge fully.

Overnighting in a parking lot
At eleven this morning, I pack out, walk out to the jammer, start the engine and drive out of this city on US 59 north towards Goliad, Texas. Again, it did not take very long for me to arrive and I pull in to the headquarters to check in. I tell them that I have already purchase a night in campspace number 22 and the ranger prints my permit. I then drive to the Jacales camping area, back into my space and the plug my electrical cord into the receptacle.
Then, at about seven-thirty this evening, I turn off the computer, get into the horizontal to read and watch videos until I am ready to to sleep.
