More Offers

For some reason, we are getting many more offers this year to work at different locations this summer. We received another one yesterday - from a nice campground in Nathrop, CO. That is not too far from Colorado Springs and also not too far from Denver. If it weren't for the fact that the job is for only 20 - 30 hours per week, the first 10 of which go toward payment of your site, it would have been more enticing. We aren't quite ready for jobs that don't pay very much, even though we would love an opportunity in that particular area. We have also received emails, almost daily, that our resume has been viewed by a potential employer for workamping positions. We received another inquiry from a [park in WA on the peninsula near Port Angeles and right on the water of the Strait of Juan De Fuca - across from Victoria, BC. That would be another park that we would love to consider except, again, it is for just a few hours per week for just a few dollars. Someday, maybe the money won't matter and we can just volunteer for a few hours per week and enjoy the areas a lot more. In the meantime, we are enjoying the work and the locations we have been to where good wages are available.

It must be that we regularly update our resumes to give prospective employers a current view of our backgrounds. Each time we do an update of our resumes on the Workamping website, we seem to get an influx of offers which is the way you want the system to work. There have also been inquiries recently from vacation/amusement parks in Iowa, family campgrounds in New Hampshire and several in between.

Our second week of spring training games begins today. The time only seems to go fast when you look back at how much you've already done. I just wish we were looking back at three weeks, instead of one...
