2025-26 Trip to the Southwest, Day 54

Day 54, Thursday, December 11, 2025 - La Paz County Park, Parker, AZ, Day 12 - 0 Miles, 3,449.7 Miles for the Trip

Warmer at 52°F overnight & 55°F for my morning walk. The high for the day was 81°F, again with a bit of sun on the place the outside sensor is stored. By 5:30 it was down to 73°F.

As expected, I got email from Amazon telling me my packages (due to arrive today) are delayed & should show up tomorrow.

More sitting around reading. The bees have found the hummingbird feeder, but that doesn't stop the hummingbirds. They just push the bees out of the way. They are still fighting over the feeder even though there is another one on a trailer 2 spaces away.

Around noon I headed to Walmart for some supplies. Not too crowded, which is unusual for the Parker Walmart. Still no Chicken Bubba Burgers or 1/2 liter grape Zero Gatorade.

I headed for the showers in building 9 around 4:30. 2 showers. The one I was in had a bench in the small drying area, 2 double hooks, dry deck of the floor of both the drying area & the shower. Very strong water flow. A 2" medium flow shower head that spit out water just below the "painful" pressure. Plenty of hot water, although there was someone in the other shower and adjusting either changed the other. Towards the end of my shower I had to increase the hot setting - I suspect the water heater was running low. Overall, a B.

Dinner was a Chef Ramsay Alfredo Lasagna with Chicken. First time I've see it in a store so I tried it. They had 7 varieties of Chef Ramsay bowls, but not my favorite - Chicken Marsala Pasta. Like all the Chef Ramsay bowls I've tried, the lasagna was pretty good.

Until Next Time -

  1. Hi Jon, we finally made it to Seminole Canyon and it’s nice and sunny. Our only complaint is a bird Mocking Bird maybe will not leave the truck or camper alone! Very annoying especially with the acrylic windows they scratch easy. Did you have any trouble like that at Whitewater Draw? We are thinking of stopping there on the way to Phoenix-enjoy the sun!

  2. No problems at Whitewater Draw, but I have had birds go nuts at my truck mirrors and here at La Paz County Park the Brewer's Blackbird dance on my roof most mornings at dawn. I'm not a dawn person...

  3. By the way, the mosquitos at Whitewater draw are bad at dusk, particularly when you are at the pond.
