When we arrived in late June and up until now, we have had the use of the space next to us to park the truck and the Jeep. Now, with the campground beginning to fill up, we may be forced to either make room on our existing site for both vehicles, or locate a suitable site that can accommodate both vehicles on the single site. The other option is to park the truck just behind our current space in the field that is part of the property owned by the campground. The problem with that is that the field is about 15 feet lower elevation than the campground, it is full of high weeds, and is not a secured area. I don't think I want to chance having our truck in that environment. The plan for this morning is to walk the campground and see if there might be a larger site we can use.
We decided to postpone the trip to the horse parks for now until we can learn more about what they each have to offer. Also, the fact that we only have 2 days off before starting our day shift tomorrow AM, we thought it would better to stay close to home and rest some more. We will most likely schedule a trip during our days off next week when we have 3 days to work with. If it is like last year, we will get some valuable information in the welcome bag of goodies that will be handed out at the "meet and greet" meeting on Monday. It's hard to believe we are entering our 6th week of work here. There are only 18 more weeks to go before our target date to leave. Sheesh! I hope we can make it.
The real fun part will be planning where to go from here, assuming we can hang in here until Christmas. There is a real incentive to stay as there is a significant bonus given to those that work the full amount of time. The only reason for not staying would be physical or health reasons. As you know, this is a physically punishing assignment for anybody. It's great for our weight though as I have lost about 15 pounds so far and Josie has lost about 8. We may leave here looking like our "normal" selves again. It's been years since we looked that way...
