HELLO, HELLO, HELLO

It's hard to know where to begin!  My last post was over five months ago and little did I know it would be my last for a while.  The problem was our internet connection in the Adirondacks being almost nonexistent!  My aircard was very unreliable and dial-up speed was the best it could do there.  But I must tell you, we had the BEST summer ever!  We fell in love with the Adirondacks all over again.  Bob and I had forgotten just how majestic the forests and lakes are up there.  There is quite alot to see and do and we only scratched the surface.

The other component of this lifestyle is the workamping.  Until Kayuta Lake Campground we had been involved with the US Army Corps of Engineers only.  This was our first private campground and so we were a bit apprehensive as to how we would like it.  Well, any misgivings we might have had completely disappearred as the summer advanced.  Mike and Karin welcomed us in a big way as did the "seasonals", a friendly camping community which we are now a part of! 

Bob was a part of the "crack" maintenance staff and I joined the office/general store/snack bar/coffeehouse group!  I really had wanted to work outside for the benefit of exercize plus the sheer joy of being able to work outside!! But when it rained every day from April 28 through June 20th, I got over it real quick.  Once the rain quit, the temps were dee-lite-ful.  Most of the days the highs were below 85 degrees and the lows in the 50-60 degree range.  Great sleeping without the A/C.

One of the aspects of Kayuta Lake Campground that we love is the "seasonal community".   There are 165 sites and 89 of them are campers who lease a specific site from May through October 15.  (Thus, the name "seasonal")  You can form friendships with people this way, a part of the fulltimer's life that is missing when you are on the road.

Well, I could go on and on about Kayuta Lake Campground, how beautiful it is, how much fun it is to camp there and to even work there but I am beginning to sound like a commercial!  Suffice it to say that I will be writing a lot more about KLC (with pictures) in the coming weeks.  I have a lot to catch you up on and I will fill you in on it all!

BTW, you can see our beautiful park's website  kayutalakecampground.com

Wondering where we are now??????  If you were paying attention last winter, you might know.  It was in the blog. (but how pompous am I to think that anyone might care enough to remember??? Except for my Mom!  Or to think that people are reading this at all???  Except for Mom)
