Rain Pattern Continues

It has now been 7 straight days with measurable rain, including today. There were some pretty strong thunderstorms yesterday and it made for a difficult day working outside. It is a good thing that we are still not that busy as it gave us a chance to find cover during the heaviest rainfall periods. One of my assignments yesterday was to clean the upright grills that we have at each of our 25 super sites:

These are the premium sites at the park and the grills are now ready for the summer crowd beginning Memorial Weekend. These are the only sites with grills, fire rings and side patios with picnic tables. All of the sites have picnic tables, but not as nice as the ones on the super sites.

It was basically a day of trying to stay dry and just get through the day. We had an orientation meeting scheduled after work, and that was held in the pavilion we have outside the main office building. This was a meeting that should have been scheduled right after we arrived, but for some reason, it took place yesterday. There were only 2 couples - Josie and I, and Theresa and Larry that had to attend. The management had a couple pizzas brought in and we all sat around one of the tables in the pavilion while they reviewed rules and procedures. Seated below, from left to right are Josie, Mary (manager), Kristina (General Manager, and one of the people we met at the Tampa RV Show in January), Theresa and Larry:

Theresa works in the office with Josie, and Larry works the gate and helps with hosting duties. Following this meeting, we were all given a tour of both parks- Grey's Point Camp and Bethpage Camp. The entire meeting went from 6:30 to just after 9 PM. It was a long day for us.

Today is my day for propane training and I had to change my start time from 1 PM to 8 AM in order to accommodate the training schedule. Josie doesn't start until 1 PM which is the time I was originally scheduled to start, so we won't see much of each other today. The training is to take place at Bethpage, so I won't even be here for my scheduled time.

It is gloomy and damp outside this morning and we are anxious to see the return of nice weather. The forecast is for gradual clearing, so we are headed in the right direction. That's about it for now...
