Winter Excursion 10, Day 69

Aside from our normal duties we did LAUNDRY today! Absolutely our favorite camping pastime besides people watching. Actually it was nice to use the campground laundry facility. Cath got the machines cleaned to her standard and we get all of our coins back. We were finished in a few hours.
Today was find the dog toys for me, so here's the Find of the Day.
Stay tuned, more dog toys to come.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 68

Today was a repeat of yesterday. I did spend some time cleaning and getting the host cart the way I like it. We got the store rooms and cleaning supplies organized the way we like them.
The Find of the Day was this "thing"!
I have no idea what it is, but I sure hope it's not important!
We had another nice sunset as usual.




 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 67

Our first day on was total Deja' Vu. I was up at 0700, had some coffee and hopped on the Host Cart at 0800. Did the rounds, checked the bathhouses, and the boat ramp. Then went to the Kiosk and picked up our paper work for the day. Checked and cleaned the sites for the incoming campers. After that it was a waiting game to clean the sites for departing campers. By then it was time to do the bathhouses. After that it was lunch time. We spent the afternoon greeting the new campers arriving and answering questions. Around 1700 checked the bathhouses and then relaxed. I swear we just did all this a few weeks ago. It was like we never left. It was good to be busy again.
The Find of the Day was this chunk of rebar. It was left on a site in the grass. I'm glad the mower didn't hit it!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 66

We are "ON" tomorrow, so today is our last day to get all set up and ready to work. 
We left camp and did a big grocery shopping at our favorite store, Publix! I won't even mention what the bill was...LOL!
We spent the afternoon just relaxing after we got all the food put away.
there were a few good football games on in the evening, but we hit the bed before they were over. We are looking forward to our first day "ON".
Stayed tuned for the new "Finds of the Day".

Winter Excursion 10, Day 65

The breakfast sandwiches were a big hit with the staff as usual. They hadn't had any since last year and asked when the next batch is!
I got the gazebo set up this morning. It is just in time for the rain tonight. That way I can put the chairs in it rather than folding them up and putting them in the pass-thru.
Our new dinette arrived today. Our co-host and I got it all set up. Only problem was they did not ship the table! They forgot to pack it! They did pack the table hardware. I called and they will send it ASAP. Here's a pic with the little outside table we are using until the real one arrives.
We like this way better than that Dinesk. And we get more storage underneath. The left side has a really big drawer.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 64

We continued with the set up today. Got the Flattop all set up and ready to go. Sounds like breakfast sandwiches tomorrow.
The weather turned a little warmer and we almost got to 60 today. We spent the afternoon outside people watching.
Sunset this evening was better than yesterday. Here you go.
We love our view from the camper!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 63

Woke up early this morning. We were anxious to greet the other employees that were not here yesterday. Again they were all happy to see us.
I did more camp setup. We are getting everything out as we will be here for 4 months. Got the grill set up, the picnic table moved to where we want it, cleaned up the site, and got the bird feeder set up and ready to go. We did a quick trip to Tractor Supply in Gray, GA to get propane and bird seed. Temps tonight are going to be in the 20s!
We had our co-host over for dinner, shrimp and Alaskan crab legs with all the trimmings. We had a good time catching up with Ed and all his happenings.
Here's a pic of the site.

Here's a pic of the sunset this evening. It's not bad, but there will be more that are better.
We will be doing more setup tomorrow.
