We
haven’t posted lately because our work here has been kinda boring.
This
park isn’t as entertaining as the park we worked last summer.
We
recently received news that our park will be closing for the winter in order to
make repairs to the park entrance. No gate attendant work for us this winter!
We
still have a contracted obligation for next summer. That will be our last
season here as gate attendants. We’ve enjoyed the gig but we’re ready to get
back on the road!
After
some discussion, we decided to sign up as volunteers for the winter. We’ll just
stay here at our present location and be park security while the park is closed
and do whatever it is they need us to do.
We’re
planning on a few short trips this winter but we’ll drive the truck and stay in
a hotel.
We
have learned a few things about ourselves while being gate attendants this past
year. One being, we’ve really missed the gypsy lifestyle. We miss exploring. We
are from this area and so there’s NOT much exploring here to do.
The
fact that the lake levels are so low makes the camping business here kinda of
slow. The heat doesn’t help either.
Anyway,
we have filled out the paperwork to become park volunteers and have passed the
background checks. We should be in business as soon as our summer season
contract is done.
