We are still talking with the people in Cody and the manager at the small Hostel in Gardiner, MT. The job in MT is so different from what we have been used to working that it is a little scary. Every day would be different and the hours are all over the place. The attraction is that it is a (relatively) small operation and is in a very nice area - on the river, 10 miles north of the North Gate at Yellowstone. The other opportunity in Cody is a familiar one, even though our duties would be different from our previous experience there in 2010. It also is in a very nice location. We hope to get closer to a decision today.
The other activity yesterday was regarding some new equipment I got for our computers. I am trying to install a Personal Cloud device and create a home network for all of our pictures, files and documents that would be easier to manage with that solution. I am having problems setting it up and will call their support lines today for help. What I thought would be a simple installation has turned out to be a major effort. It's not what I thought it would be, but anything that seems easy always turns out to be a challenge. The concept and end result should be worth the effort, but I will pitch-it in an instant and return the equipment if it becomes a nightmare.
Josie is back to work today for two days before a stretch of 5 days working in a row. Also, today is the magic day when our tenants move into our house. We are keeping our fingers crossed that this is the start of a pleasant relationship...

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...
