More About the Campground

We used the whole day yesterday to get caught up on laundry and other miscellaneous stuff. Before doing the laundry, we took a walking tour of the campground. We wanted to check out the laundramat and the fitness center, but also, we wanted to make sure that we didn't miss seeing any beach area.

The following picture is taken of one of the streets that are in this campground of 400+ spaces:


You can see that it is a very "tropical" looking place, and it is.

This is a shot of what is probably the "best" beach area that we have been able to find:



and it is an area behind spaces that are rented as "elite" and have a premium, as you would expect. I guess it would be OK to use, especially when the tide is out, which it is not in this shot.

While walking around the perimeter of the campground, we came upon the marina next:


This marina has over 400 slips that we also handle as part of the reservations system. These shots were taken in the marina area of a pelican:


and also some fish that were seen everywhere in the clear water:



Next, there was this area of rentals that were very nice and again show the tropical flavor of the keys:



We also handle the rentals for these units.

Finally, we took a shot of the pool:


which we returned to after our chores were done:



The campground is actually not too bad as can be seen from these pictures. The spaces are large and level, and except for the lack of a nice "community" beach area, is one of the better campgrounds we've seen in Florida.

Today is our first work day and we will start this morning by reviewing our paperwork. I expect that we will be "tossed-to-the-wolves" following that and begin learning their system. We already have experience using their software system - Campground Manager - so the learning curve should be a short one. We will also get our schedule which we are almost certain will include working the weekends. That's OK too, because we have worked the weekends every place we've been, and it doesn't matter to us. As long as we have 2 consecutive days off together, it will be fine. So, the new job begins...
