Winter Excursion 7, Day 74 The Life of a Camp Host

We had the day off and the next two days also.

We drove into Swainsboro to fill one of the propane tanks. The forecast is for below freezing temps for the next three nights. The birds have been chowing down at our feeder, it's only been up for a week and we needed another bag of birdseed already. Guess I'll have to budget for that!

Back at camp we just hung out and played some cards. Cath kicked my butt in cribbage. She won three games in a row! Tomorrow there will be a re-match. We watched a little TV and did some people watching., the campground is full for the weekend.

Winter Excursion 7, Day 73 The Life of a Camp Host

We had eight new campers arrive. I spent the morning getting their sites ready. Cath and I cleaned the bathhouse (it wasn't bad) and then relaxed almost all afternoon.

The highlight of the day was the Gyros we made for dinner. Thanks to a friend who pointed out the Gyro meat at Costco. We did the meat on the flattop, Cath made homemade tzatziki sauce and sliced everything up. The result was great, we have a new "go to" meal.

   

The find of the day is this awesome fire poker. I'm sure some camper is going to miss it, but it's new home is with the Boss Camper!

We are off for the next three days. No real plans, but time will tell!

Winter Excursion 7, Day 72 The Life of a Camp Host

It was a very slow day. We had two campers leave and two arrive. There is only six campers in the park!

We checked all the sites, stocked firewood at the host sites, and cleaned the bathhouse.

Here's a few pics of our "drive-thru garage".

Here's a pic of Cath at her favorite fireplace.

And here's a pic of the sunset looking out from the camper.

The find of the day was this USB cable. I'm guessing that there is a camper whose phone is dead! 

 

Winter Excursion 7, Day 71 The Life of a Camp Host

We were off again today, but will be on tomorrow.

We had a nice breakfast from the flattop and then headed to town for a few supplies. Stopped at Tractor Supply (TSC) for some propane, they were out! That's the first time in 7 years that has happened. I called them late this afternoon and they have refilled their tank. We will try to get there in the next few days. It is supposed to get cold, but we have enough in tank #2 to get us through the weekend.

We spent late morning/afternoon stetting up our screen canopy, I now call it my drive through garage as the e-bike lives in there on the charger. There is a front door and a back door! I can drive right through!

I unloaded/loaded all the stuff from the truck into my new garage. I'm thinking our MPG will improve with a few hundred pounds less.

Our camp co-host came by for a few toddies and some conversation. She has a tiny dog and it is a hoot. It sticks his tongue out all the time and does not like me (not really), barks at me all the time. Here's a pic of our co-host (Carolyn) and Rennie (the biter)!

We are "on" tomorrow for two days. Weather is getting cooler, but all is well.

Winter Excursion 7, Day 70 The Life of a Camp Host

We were off today.
We left camp around 0930 and drove to Pooler, GA to the Costco. We were able to score some gyros pre-seasoned meat that a camping friend had shared with us. We are anxious to try gyros on the flat-top with Cath's homemade tzatziki sauce. We will post a pic when we make them later this week. The JD did not come with them!

After Costco we made our was to Ft. Stewart for a few supplies and then to Claxton, GA for some fruitcake.

On the way home we picked up some KFC for dinner, Cath was happy; no cooking tonight.

I did a little e-bike riding and then just relaxed.

They are starting to do some controlled burns in the area. The smoke will be thick sometimes when there is no breeze.
  

Winter Excursion 7, Day 69 The Life of a Camp Host

As was expected today was busy. We had 19 campers leave and a few arrive. Cleaned out enough fire pits that I'm probably a considered a professional chimney sweep. Really was no real issues or problems.

We had one site that left a raging campfire burning when they left. I waited till 1630 to clean out the firepit, but still had hot coals, so I had to add some water, stir, and then take it to the ash pit.

The find of the day was this gold nugget! As usual I have to get it assessed, but it could be worth a fortune! 

We are off tomorrow and have a new adventure planned. Costco, Ft Stewart, and Claxton. Looks like a fun day.

All is well in the Boss Camp!

Winter Excursion 7, Day 68 The Life of a Camp Host

Today was a super easy day, only one camper leaving and two arriving. Tomorrow will be a different story as we have 19 leaving!

Cath & I just did normal duties today. I did a little maintenance on the host cart, but for the most part it was slow today.

Here's the find of the day:

Kaylee will be super happy, but the dog that lost it will be sad.

Tomorrow will be busy, but that's the life of a camp host.
