So, we are here at Lake Fork, Alba, Texas for the work camping job - for DH really. His first day off to 'work' since he semi-retired in June - and is he ever ready! He left 20 minutes early with the golf cart provided to him - for a 2 minute commute, LOL. The golf cart is temperamental and quits if it doesn't like a bump - on the way to work- it quit and would not be convinced to go again. So, DH walked back to camp and took the Jeep.
He will be working 20 hours in exchange for the site here (including electric!). I will be looking for a job
Happy Journey's RV Dreamers!

Linda: I have fond memories of traveling and work camping. It would be a "dream" if I could handle it again; I was doing labor type jobs. The heat and humidity drains the little energy I have left. And still have to keep close contact with the VA doctors appts; I found good ones where I'm at. A job will soon come your way as long as you actively pursue it.

Happy First Day to him! NEW is always exciting. Sounds like you plan to be in the area for a while? We parked in Tanglewood RV park (near Winston-Salem, NC) in July and they were hiring another host. Very minimal work! John was interested, we're not settled enough for that yet:)
Happy job hunting:)

Be careful.
This work camping thing can get addictive if you find a job you really like.
(From some long term work campers and having a great time!)

Hope you are surviving the heat wave and hope the work-camping job turns out great! Agree with Cori, the golf cart is super cute :)
Any luck finding nursing work? I know the flu shot companies are hiring for the fall season. With 6 month there you should be able to get some prn work...Keep us posted.

Congrats Linda and Scott! Tell Scott not to catch all the crappie in Lake Fork. Hopefully I'll be there next spring to catch my share.

Thanks everybody. I had an interview at a local hospital and I've done a bunch of applying for jobs. It will all work out I'm sure - it sure is an adjustment.
