Limping Through Final Days Here

We went to the store to pick up some grocery items yesterday and when we returned at about 11:30 we discovered that the water was off. I know there had been a problem with the water system here while I was working since I helped dig the hole around the main water line out by the road. Well, it seems that the situation has worsened. We still don't have campground water running anywhere in the park. It is a good thing that our water pump was installed and we put some water in the water holding tank when we tested the new pump. There isn't a lot of water there, but probably enough to see us through this. It is most likely a result of the old pipes that run the water system - everything is old. We're sure that there are some people that don't have stored water at all and they must be fuming. Right now, we are looking forward to leaving on Saturday and going to our new gig.

The Workamper Hotline has really heated up since the new year began. There were probably only 1 or 2 jobs per day being announced as available before the end of the year, but now there have been 6-8 jobs every day. One of the new jobs that we responded to was at a campground in the Sierra Foothills of CA centrally located between Yosemite, Sacramento and Lake Tahoe in the small town of Columbia, CA. It is at an elevation of 2100 feet and stays pretty mild year round. We'll keep you posted on what happens with that.

Today will probably be a day of cleaning outdoor stuff. We have a couple lounge chairs, the picnic table cover and the grill that all need to be cleaned before we leave on Saturday. With the weather being so nice, we may even go the pool sometime this afternoon. That's about it for today...
