Day 77, Saturday, January 3, 2026 - La Paz County Park, Parker, AZ, Day 35 - 0 Miles, 3,449.7 Miles for the Trip
56°F for both a nighttime low & for my morning walk. Still fairly heavy clouds with little sun. I'm getting lazy & had breakfast at the Black Pearl. Stuffed French toast; very good, as usual.
Back at the trailer I got a call from the town clerk with the amount for my local taxes. Oswego has separate school & town/county taxes, the school in October & the county in January. With the USPS Informed Delivery email I could see a photo of my tax bill envelope, but of course, not the amount. There is an on line tax record but the 2026 tax bill isn't posted yet so I left a message for the tax collector to let me know how much I owe. Taxes in Oswego are pretty low compared to most of NY, and I get a $30,000 exemption on my property value as a Viet Nam combat veteran so they are even lower. Of course having a little less than an acre & a 1000 sq ft house helps as well.
Since is still a bit cool to sit outside at 59°F and no sun, I read inside. I finished Bradley's I'm Half-Sick of Shadows and started #5 Speaking From Among the Bones. Still listening to Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol audio book during my walks.
When it made it up to 63°F I sat outside and read. Still lots of clouds and no sun. Around 4:00 I went to the water kiosk for a gallon of filtered water (for $.25). Cheaper & easier than going to the store. The high for the day was 64°F. Lorraine, a fellow Escape owner that I run into at many rallies is set up in the dry camping area. She had asked for an electric & water site, but discovered that they gave her a water only one. Noisy with all the generators, and water only doesn't make much sense since most don't drink the water (salty). The dry area is away from the river, but quieter.
Dinner was a Bubba Chicken Burger & more of the Bush Beans. A 22 ounce can of Bourbon & Brown Sugar Beans is too much for two servings as sides, but not quite enough for three.
Until Next Time -
