But, now having chanced my views on capitalism, and knowing the political issues, plus studying anthropology, I'm not sure I'd actual enjoy it. I own her three novels, just in case I do want to read.

Tax land is really just for folks who don't have the option of junk land-it does have problems as you describe. Still, for a $500 bet...which you'd get back ( not that that is the point ). The bad thing would be if you relied on that lot and then suddenly you lost it and couldn't get another.James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-31365196114862075712017-11-19T11:54:51.215-08:002017-11-19T11:54:51.215-08:00Haha!

Got a chuckle out of your crotch juice/ cocaine comment 😀<br /><br />I worked with a dude some years back that described Reno as the equivalent of “living at the edge of hell.” I had no idea what he meant, but he went on to describe a large group of people that parked their RV’s on some country road that went way outside of Reno. There were RV’s parked on both sides as far as the eye could see. Apparently the jobs that these people worked, couldn’t keep up with their bills and provide for conventional housing. I can’t say if this exact situation still exists or not, as this was many years ago, but my guess is that the city probably ran them off.<br /><br />For tax default land, be careful. If you buy the title from a bank on a property that has recently went into default, you can’t foreclose on it and own it for many years (I think it’s 5 years). The original title holder has a grace period to make good on the back payments, and it’s my understanding that they generally do. However on junk land, this probably isn’t the case. Just beware that there is lengthy waiting period before it is officially yours. Now my junk land was a tax default land. However, I didn’t buy the delinquent title, I purchased it free and clear after it had already been permanently foreclosed on, and went on the auction block. <br /><br />Oh, and for long term camping, I recall that Phil Garlington of Rancho Costa Nada fame, mentioned something about a long term BLM campground down in that area (Blythe). It was real cheap, but there were no services of any kind. Junk land is a better investment in this scenario, unless you’re constantly on the move.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-88139751308198411782017-11-19T10:56:37.743-08:002017-11-19T10:56:37.743-08:00But you aren't forced on to the road, right? ...But you aren't forced on to the road, right?

Less effort, better reward, longer life.<br /><br />The thing is, why wouldn't they do it ? Is it because they still need to pay up their debt ? Is it because they're too immersed into their life of urgency ?Avehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508223217305671728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-54154426281953847542017-11-19T10:19:01.306-08:002017-11-19T10:19:01.306-08:00I'm 59, going to spend the next 4 -5 months on...I'm 59, going to spend the next 4 -5 months on the road, and won't be working at a Amazon center. Got a diesel ambulance at auction that I turned into a mini motorhome. Can run on waste vegetable oil so I won't pay hardly anything for fuel. Mounted a solar panel on the roof so I don't need a park with power. <br /><br />It's cheaper for me to spend the winter on a warm beach somewhere than to heat my house in NH. Sure, I could spend the winter feeding the woodstove, but that's no fun either. I'll do it if I have to. <br /><br />Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.com
