Update

Yikes! I can't believe it's been nearly a month since I posted anything. Sorry to our loyal reader(s). Sometimes I feel like life has become sort of ordinary and people might not be interested in our day to day lives. But I suppose I could still post and if you're not interested, you don't need to read.

Anyway, we are doing well. Very well, actually. We are still at Carowinds Campground, though the season is over so we are not working at Carowinds any more. One of the best perks of our jobs at Carowinds is that workampers can stay during the off season for $125/mo. That's for our site, water, electric and wifi. Compare that to your electric bill and you'll see it's quite a bargain. Monthly sites at other campgrounds range from $500-800, so every month that we can stay here and still earn our full time pay (and living expenses), it's a bonus to us. Plus, we like the area and it's a nice campground.

But, we are both getting antsy to move on. I expect that will happen sometime around the end of this month. We still don't know where we'll be going. The couple who trained us has suggested that we try to go where they are going next (southern Georgia or possibly Savannah, GA) and we might do that. It's certainly flattering that they would like to work with us in the future and it would be nice to go some place where we already know some people.

We've had "historical levels" of rain in this area during November. Neat. When it rains we are required to wait two hours before calling it a day. If we go out in the morning and it's not raining, we work and when it starts, the two hour clock starts as well. I don't think we've had any days where it rained just a short amount of time. These are all day rains. What we tend to do is leave the house (in the rain) drive to where we are working on the off chance that it's not raining there (hasn't happened yet). Then we spend some time doing errands like grocery shopping or a stop at Lowe's to fill the two hours before heading home.

We get paid for the two hours we work as well as our mileage and daily living expenses, so it's not a bad deal and much better than tromping around in the rain.

However, we still have to work the day after it rains and that means walking through lots of mud and wet grass.

Ok. More posts coming. Stay tuned.
