Happy to hear you are doing good and found a place to stay for the summer. We were volunteering at Topsail Hill Preserve SP when all this went down, we were scheduled to leave the 1st of April. The state park closed on March 23rd but allowed the volunteers to stay until the state reopened the parks. Our park is not opening but we are all back to work. We will be here until the end of May, unless our plans change. Stay safe

Greetings from Bar Harbor! We arrived in Bar Harbor on June 7th for my work camping position at the Bar Harbor Campground. We have really been enjoying the area, especially Acadia National Park. We have done many hikes in the park including some spectacular summits, the views are awesome. Our 6lb dog Mattie also goes with us and loves to "bounce" up and down the rocks and wade in the streams. We have a had few friends stop in to say hi and have met several more. The manager of the campground set us up with a 6'x4' planter box so we have tomatoes, basil and peppers growing. We also have wild Maine blueberries all over the campground and lots behind our site which have been enjoying.

After 4 months of volunteering at Topsail Hill State Park Preserve in Santa Rosa Beach Florida we said goodbye to everyone yesterday and head to Buccaneer State Park in MS. We will work our way to Little Rock to stay at my MIL's for a few weeks, then to Elkhart for warranty work on May 6th. We have a work camping opportunity in Bar Harbor, ME for the season so we will go back up there early June and stay until Columbus Day. The campground is really nice and it's only about 18 hours a week, enough to keep busy. we are looking forward to exploring Acadia this year. We will go back to Florida next year then we will head out west for a few years, hopefully we can see you when we travel to AZ. take care

Happy New Year- the rin has stopped in Santa Rosa Beach Florida- we celebrated with some of our fellow camp hosts. the party ended around 10 pm. stay warm and dry

Happy thanksgiving from Hilton Head, SC have a great day!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! 2018 has been good to us too. good to get working on the next year as soon as you can- it is a great feeling to be looking forward to each new adventure. We just started using an app called RVParky - it is really easy to use and we can both plan the trips at the same time, we just hit refresh and it loads the changes we make. really helped us out for our trip to Florida. We are currently in Bar Harbor, Me leaving on the 10th to work our way to Topsail Hill State Park in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. We start working camping on Dec 1st and will be there until the end of March. safe travels and here's to many more anniversaries take care

glad to hear you had a great trip, it is always fun to meet new family. we finally made it to Maine last week and will be here for 6 weeks. we are staying in Thomaston at the Saltwater Farm Campground. we meet up with some friends here and they are showing us the area. Our first night they cooked lobster for us at their campsite. still hot and humid so we haven't done a lot of hiking yet, just a few in the morning. we are also enjoying being someplace for a month to slow down and catch up and figure out where to go next. take care Steve

make a 2 day celebration! LOL

hi today is our 2 year anniversary!!

we enjoyed meeting Vicki and Mark too. We all have been so busy at the Escapade, there is so much to do. Dara and I been learning so much at the seminars from Google photos to ideas to save space in the camper. the entertainment has be excellent. here we are at the first timers social

are you going to the fist timers social? if not we need to meet up and take a class photo. L0L

we made to the Escapade!! got here around noon, set up and registered. it was a nice drive from Hollister, Mo. it's 92 out right now but we were able to get into a 50 amp site. there were only a few people in line so we got to choose the site, Dara took a golf cart ride and found the one she liked best, not sure if they do this for everyone but it was a nice for us. If anyone from our class is here lets plan on getting together one day. take care

it was cold and rainy in Little Rock the past few days. we stayed at Maumelle Park the first 3 nights then drove the 20 miles over to mom's. it was cold and some freezing rain when we got up but around noon the rain let up. we are now enjoying a nice sunny day and I can start working on my camper projects. we are hoping to get to Maine this year, working on that trip this week.

we left Topsail State Park this past Sunday and stayed one night in Gulfport, LA and now we are in Delhi, LA at Poverty Point State Park. we leave here on Wednesday for Little Rock to visit Dara's mom for a month, then it's off to the Escapade with a stop in Branson so we can travel to the Escapade with our friend. we really enjoyed our time volunteering at Topsail so much so we decided to come back for 4 months (December thru March) I will work maintenance the month of December and then we both will camp host the rest of the time. most everyone is coming back too so it will be a great time.

Hi - we are still at Topsail Hill State Park working as camp hosts, we have been having a great time. there are about 17 couples work camping here too. some of the volunteers had a valentines day party for all us volunteers and Dara was elected princess (I think it was because it was her birthday) had rain, freezing nights and sunshine- it has been quite a winter. we will be leaving here on April 1st taking a few weeks to get to Little Rock to visit my MIL. anyone going to the Escapade?

70 today and then back to the 50's. Dara wants to go to balloon fest and ride in one too. glad to here your felling better. we have today off so we took a ride and enjoyed lunch out. the hosting is not too bad, we have a few baths to clean and check sites, 2 days on and 2 days off. the rangers are so nice and friendly to us.

We had a great time at the Rainbow Plantation, even with the "cooler" weather we managed to get in several bike rides at Gulf Shores State Park. Christmas and New Years were really fun too, lots to eat. LOL Now we are at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. Arrived on Jan 1st and are camp hosting until the end of March. the weather is slowly starting to warm up, it's 60 today but raining. next few days look promising weather wise, we did enjoy a camp fire with a few of the other hosts last night. take care maybe everyone will thaw out a little and check in........

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all our "classmates" we are at the Ho Hum RV Park in Carrabelle, FL. going to a pot luck dinner at 2 pm. going to be a great time it rained last night- the sun is trying to come out take care
