We felt sorry for the campers. It was overcast and the wind blew relentlessly all day long.
We were glad to be in the cabin. :)
Linda got her hair coloring done and made a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies. One of our campers gave us some cooking oil, butter, and oats rather than throwing it all away. So she put them to good use. :)
And I finally got some web pages ready for release. I hardly moved from my recliner all day.
So, I've revised our Earning A Living On The Road page. And I linked to several other pages I created related to workamping.
Here is the list and links:
- Workamping Overview
- What Is Workamping?
- Types of Workamping Jobs Available
- Expected Commitments
- How Much Can You Make?
- Volunteering For A Campsite
- Working For Pay Vs. Volunteering
- Tax Implications of Workamping
That last one can be a little mind-numbing, but it includes a bunch of things I learned that I hadn't thought about before going on the road. Maybe it will save someone a headache or two .... or maybe it will just give someone a headache. :)
I've still got more pages to add, but I'm comfortable with these for now after spending hours and hours on them.
And that's about it. Nothing more to tell for today. Hopefully, the wind will calm down, and we can get out and about during the rest of our time off this week.
But if it doesn't, there will be other days. Another difference between vacationers and full-timers. While weather can ruin a vacation, it's just a temporary inconvenience for a full-timer. :)
Thanks Howard for the Workamper Information, lot of very good stuff there that will definitely keep me off the streets, and reading, for a while. You have a lot of wind there, but at least no snow? Daughter lives in SLC and a lot of snow there. Marty

Howard,
Thanks for steering us toward your new web pages. Your hard work pays off for you and all of us too. We lucky few have found a treasure in a sea of algae!
I sent a vistor to RV-dreams.com yesterday. They are just starting out as fulltimers. I also sent them to Escapees. I am so passionate about sharing this lifestyle with folks, that these two websites are the first I recommend.
Thank you for your positivity and enthusiasm.

We had the same kind of weather here in the Carolinas. It was chilly, windy and overcast all weekend. Still the same today, which gives me the perfect excuse to stay in and read your new pages!

Howard, I am not sure if you follow Jan and GC's web journal or not. After you gave a link to it I have been following their travels as well as yours and couple others. (Arm chair traveler for sure)I didn't know if you had word that Jan's mother passed away this last week and they have had to head back to midwest (Ohio maybe) to be with family. Just thought you might like to know since you shared a visit with them. Hope your wind calms down. Enjoy your journal very much! Keep writing.
