Winter Excursion 10, Day 122

The host duties today made up for the easy day yesterday. We had 22 campers leaving and 15 arriving. Looks like camping season is in full swing in Georgia! Almost all of the 22 leaving had campfires, some were still burning. I think I made 10 trips to the ash pile to empty my buckets. This was all made fun as many of the campers didn't leave until noon and many of the new ones were arriving at 1300. I but some serious miles on my host cart.
Then it was time to clean the bathhouses. By the time we finished that chore we were beat. It felt good to sit down at the camper and relax. I think we both got a little snooze in our camp chairs.
The find of the day was this nylon key chain.
Problem is the key is missing. I think it went to a treasure chest that I haven't found yet!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 121

Ed left this morning, but not without problems. One of his rear jacks on the Class A would not retract. One of the maintenance guys, Ed, and I worked on it all morning. We were able to get it up a few inches, but not the whole way. While we were working on it both of his cats managed to escape from the camper. The new host were arriving around 1100, so Ed had to clear the site. He ended up leaving without the cats! I will be trying to trap them until we catch them. I never thought one of my host duties was "cat trapping"! Ed went to his new hosting job about 25 miles away. If I catch a cat I'll take it over to him.
Today was Saturday so hosting duties were light, although the park is 100% full.
The find of the day was this gem stone.
I'm sure it is priceless!


Winter Excursion 10, Day 120

Last day off for awhile so we did some shopping, gassed up the truck, and got propane.
Our Co-host leaves tomorrow so we had him over for a steak dinner this evening. We will miss Ed, but we hear the new Co-hosts are really nice. We are working for Ed tomorrow as it was his day to work, so we are "ON" for the next five days. Yuk!
