All Moved and Settled

The main goal yesterday was to relocate to our new space in the campground. There wasn't a whole lot of preparation required except to clear any items from the counter tops so they wouldn't fall while moving. As you recall, we did not have enough room on the site itself to park both of our vehicles with the fifth wheel. Below is a shot of the old space with the 2 vehicles parked on the adjacent site:


It was a very good location since there was nothing behind us. We could have stayed there longer but we probably would have lost our new space to another incoming workamper if we didn't move when we did. The new space is on the end of a row, and also has nothing behind us. It only took us just over an hour to get things together, move and get set up at the new spot:



Both vehicles fit nicely on the spot with the truck parked on the opposite side of the rig. We should be set now for the duration of our stay here.

We are still receiving offers from other campgrounds - especially in Arizona. We have received several from Mesa and one from Benson, but they are all for jobs that either pay a very small amount, or offer work for site only. Either of those situations will be nice when we are able to just work a few hours a week for the site only, which we hope to be able to do in a short time. One option we thought about looking into was to take one of those opportunities, have me work the hours for the site, and have Josie see if she could get work at either Cactus Flower or Phoenix Flower Shops for the winter season. It still is an option, but we know that the economy has hit the flower business very hard, and it may be tough to even get part time work there. It still might be worth a call or an email to the contacts Josie has there. There are other options we are looking at that would take us to new and different areas which is the preferable way to go. Right now, we need to concentrate on the work at Amazon.

Today will be the 2nd day off for us this week and the weather is perfect. I received a notice from Ford that I needed to get some work done on a Customer Satisfaction Program that is not a recall, but could cause damage to the power-train on the truck if not performed. I'm trying to schedule an appointment at the nearest Ford dealer in Columbia, KY, about 12 miles south of here but haven't heard back from them yet. For that reason, we will stay close to home and probably wash the rig today. We'll have to see how the day goes...
