Day 150, Tuesday, March 17, 2026 - Tickfaw State Park, Springfield, LA, Day 2 - 0 Miles, 5,924.8 Miles for the Trip.
36°F overnight, 41°F for my morning walk, 51 °F at noon, & and the high for the day was 56°F.
Almost like home with almost freezing night time temperatures. Actually, I looked up Oswego and it is 21°F and snowing with wind chill in the teens.
During my walk I discovered a older Class A parked in the road. I don't know if something broke or what, but there are wheel chocks set & the steps are out. Some cones set up from both directions. There is still a way out of the park since the water is down below the road at the other end of the electric loop. In fact Site 27, which was completely flooded is still wet around the pavement, but at least the asphalt is dry. I walked around the non electric tent sites and many of them have pads and tables still in the water. On a later walk the Bounder was in a site next to where it was parked in the road. Maybe the owner didn't want to back in in the dark. Many of the sites (including mine) have a fairly steep drop off if you leave the asphalt. I also took a photo of the 2016 flood high water mark at the bathrooms.

After breakfast I did some reading on line, but at only 52°F at 12:30 and a light wind, it was cool enough that I stayed inside to read. If it makes it to 60°F and the wind goes away, I might try sitting on the deck since it is one of the few of the trip.
Well, it didn't warm up all that much but the wind died down so I sat outside wearing my photo vest and read.
Dinner was a Boston Market Chicken Pot Pie cooked in the toaster oven.
Until Next Time -
