Wouldn't you know that the day we have to turn the clock ahead - lose an hour's sleep - is a day that we have to work the early shift. Coupled with the cold that I am coming down with, it is not a fun morning so far. It's a good thing that this is our last day before getting three days off.
It was mentioned a few days ago that we have been looking at places to go and Workamp for this summer. Actually, we are very close to getting an agreement with Premier RV Resorts which is a growing company of high end campgrounds. We expect to have a final agreement by the end of today to work at the Lincoln City, OR resort. Our original plan was to stay here through the entire summer, but a couple things have occurred that have changed our thinking. First of all, there is not enough business here to keep the whole staff busy until the summer crowd arrives, and secondly, the money will be better with Premier RV Resorts. The other, and most important factor for us is to get our foot in the door at a growing resort company like Premier that has multiple locations in nice areas that we will have first choice to work if/when they have openings. We are negotiating with the VP of Operations for the company and he indicated that, right now, we are the only people he is talking to about this opening in Lincoln City. It also satisfies a desire to spend some time at an oceanside resort. There are some other perks that will be mentioned after we get a final agreement.
This has been a tremendous area for us and we hope to leave the door open for a future return if we can. One goal we have set for ourselves is not to burn any bridges with locations we have worked. So far, we haven't burned any. I hope that tomorrow's entry will be a confirmation and we can provide more details of the next step in our adventure...
