Last July I signed up for us to be campground hosts through the Good Sam Club.
I stated choices at that time for the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.
We were to be notified in November of our location and situation and then make the choice
whether to accept the position or not. Last November we were notified that all their
positions had been filled and please try again next year. This week we received an inquiry
about hosting at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan, located near
Traverse City. It would mean making a few adjustments to our summer plans but it sounded
like a wonderful opportunity so Butch made the call for more info. It all sounded perfect;
for the months of July and August, one mile from the shore of Lake Michigan, 16 hours of
work per person per week,30 amp electrical, no sewer hook-up...WHAT?...no sewer hook up?
For us that was the deal breaker. That meant no washer and dryer for Barb and Butch
unhooking and driving to the dump station when the black tanks needed dumping which
is about every seven to ten days.So we are disappointed but I do plan to sign up again
this summer to see what appears on the horizon.
