Arrival in Campbellsville, KY

We were on the road to Campbellsville by 10 AM yesterday. It was only a trip of 110 miles, so we expected to arrive around 1 PM. We received a phone call from Karen - remember her from Cody - saying they (she and her husband George) had checked into the campground on Sunday and were very disappointed in the campground. She suggested we take a look when we arrive and then go check out the state park that was across the street from this campground. Well, we arrived at 2:30 PM, after a time change back to Eastern time and several stops to raise the front jacks on our fifth wheel that suddenly decided to slowly drop down as we traveled - a problem that we need to get fixed before we leave here.

Karen was right-on on her description of the campground. It  is brand new and therefore full of loose gravel for the sites and lots and lots of hay that has been spread to cover dirt from the construction. If it rains - which it will sometime while we are here - the whole place will turn into a huge mudhole. Not only that, but the spaces were small and we would be on top of our neighbor. We decided to both move to the state park - Green River State Park - after verifying that Amazon.com would also cover our space rental at that location.

Here are a couple shots of our location for the next 6 weeks:

and the view of the beautiful lake from our site:


The trip to our work location will increase by about 2.5 miles each way but we feel we will be much happier at this location.

We all went to the local Walmart Superstore to get some groceries and then took a drive to see where the Amazon.com facility was located. It is a huge complex as you can imagine.

Josie and I received our letter -via email last night - telling us about our work schedule, pay and other employment facts. We will be working 4 days a week - Fri-Mon - from 5 PM till 3:30 AM. We figure for 6 weeks with the good pay, we can work almost any schedule. It's not a whole lot different from the times we worked in Cody, so it shouldn't take long to adjust. It should be interesting...
