Winter Excursion 7, Day 88 The Life of a Camp Host

We were off today and just hung out at camp and relaxed. We did a little camp maintenance. I had a nice ride on the bike.

Best part of the day was dinner. We did a turkey breast on the Big Green Egg and had all the trimmings. You would have thought it was Thanksgiving. We invited our co-host over for dinner and had a fun evening.

Around 2000 we had a camper pull in and head for their site. We could watch them from our camper. After awhile one of the girls knocked on our door. She asked if there was something wrong with the electrical hookup on the pedestal or on her camper. I went over to check. Turns out they had no 30 to 50 amp adapter, so I lent them mine. Next question was how does the heater work. I checked and both their propane bottles were empty, so I lent them one of mine as temps are going below freezing tonight. One of the girls was an Army vet from Ft Stewart. I'm not sure who the other girl was as she never said a word. Between them they had 2 toddlers and a newborn. Neither of them had ever setup or run a camper! I'll check on them in morning. I'm crossing my fingers that they have a good night! 

Winter Excursion 7, Day 87 The Life of a Camp Host

The rain stopped sometime during the night and a steady wind dried everything up pretty fast. Temps only got into the low 50s and with the wind it was chilly.

Only had one camper left so site clean up went fast.

The find of the day was this really nice, new lighter. It's even full of butane. 

Too bad it doesn't work! It's now in the trash.

We made a really good cashew chicken stir fry for dinner on the flattop. We both decided it is a keeper!

After dinner we sat by the fire and had a few toddies, then off to bed.

We are off for the next three days.
 

Winter Excursion 7, Day 86 The Life of a Camp Host

Today was a washout! The rain started around 0900 and lasted into the evening. I was able to get my work done before it started raining. We only had 3 new campers arrive.

We spent most of the day in the camper playing cards and watching TV.

I did manage a find of the day. 

Due to all the flooding, this crappie lure floated by my cart today. It floated its way into my tackle box.

 

Winter Excursion 7, Day 85 The Life of a Camp Host

We left camp around 0900 and drove to Ft Stewart. Did some shopping at the commissary, grabbed some lunch, and were back home by 1400.

We spent the afternoon relaxing and doing a little more camp maintenance.

We are back on duty tomorrow and the forecast calls for thunderstorms and heavy rain. We hope it's not a repeat of this past Sunday. The campsites flood easily, but also drain off quick as they are very sandy.  

Winter Excursion 7, Day 84 The Life of a Camp Host

We were off today, but I did clean up some firepits that I couldn't do yesterday due to flooding.

We drove into town and topped off the propane tanks. Weather is forecast to be below freezing tonight.

The rest of the day we just hung out and did some camp maintenance. The place was a mess from all the rain we had yesterday.

All else is well in the Boss Camp! 

Winter Excursion 7, Day 83 The Life of a Camp Host

As was forecast it rained almost all day and almost all night. We had sixteen campers leave and I managed to get most of the sites cleaned up in between the raindrops, but the sites were for the most part flooded. I'll have to clean the firepits in the morning when the flooding subsides....LOL. We got a lot of rain!

We spent almost all day in the camper. Watched a few shows and the NFL playoff games.

The find of the day was this rubber glove.

The name on the site post was Addams! I'm betting "Thing" lost his glove when they were packing up!

We are off for the next two days. A little relaxing and a little shopping is in order.
 

Winter Excursion 7, Day 82 The Life of a Camp Host

The campground is 100% full today. We had two campers leave and two new campers arrive. All in all it was an easy day.

When I greeted one of the new arrivals she pointed out a pile of doggie poop bags near her site. She didn't want me to think they were hers. All the bags were green and under a green bush. I had missed them when I cleaned up the site. I counted them as I put them in my trash bucket. There was 16 of them! The previous camper had only been there two days. That dog was full of it!

The find of the day was the poop bags, but I didn't get a pic. Here's another find:

This thing looks like a miniature radish, but it's just a tiny red styrofoam ball. I'm not sure what it was used for, but there were around 20 of them on the site I had to clean up.

For the most part we just hung out in the camper. Outside temps were in the cool side today. low 50s. Watched a few of the NFL playoffs, had a good dinner, then off to bed.

Tomorrow will be interesting as we have 16 campers leaving and we have 100% chance of rain all night and tomorrow.
