Looks Like It's Lincoln City Next

Everything is done except the paperwork. We are going to the Premier RV Resort in Lincoln City, OR, for our next Workamper gig. Our final phone call yesterday afternoon was a summary of all the details we discussed that will be put into a formal offer letter that will be sent to us either today or tomorrow. There were some pleasant surprises that came out of the discussions. First of all, we will get complimentary stays at both the Redding, CA Resort and the Eugene, OR Resort on our trip up to Lincoln City from here. Secondly, they will give us what they call a Value Card at the end of our stay which is now scheduled for October 31. We just need to work out our travel itinerary and let them know when we can arrive. I had a preliminary discussion with Bill, the owner here, yesterday and informed him of our decision to leave. I think he was both sorry and relieved since they are presently overstaffed until summer, and he also has another couple scheduled to arrive on April 1st. Josie and I can't figure out how he would have scheduled all of us into the office with business being so slow until the peak season in the summer.

It appears at this point that we will leave around the 21st of March, stay in Redding on the 21st, Eugene on the 22nd, and arrive in Lincoln City on the 23rd. That will give us a chance to start working before the 1st of April. They use Campground Manager software for their resort which is the software we learned on at Happy Jack last year. That was one of the reasons they were interested in us and will definitely shorten the training period. I will also be doing some landscaping (mowing, fertilizing, watering, pruning, etc) and we both will be filling in to clean the meeting rooms and bathrooms as needed. I'll describe our duties in more detail after we arrive.

We are excited about the new location and at the same time will miss some of the things we didn't do while here. A trip to Yosemite before we leave may be a possibility but we have been putting off that trip because of snow. We'll see. We have 3 days off now and then work our final 3 days before leaving. Since I'm nursing a cold now, we aren't sure where we will go today, but we will be taking advantage of our final play days in some way...
