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.

For the past two weeks I have made my way to the Little Hall to connect to the
office WiFi. At least three times a day I have thought of something I needed to
check on the Internet, only to forget it or run out of time before I get it done
while at the Little hall. How quickly we get spoiled! Actually, it is a learning
process for a new way of doing things. For instance, I have learned that if I want
to write something for the blog I had best do it at home and then copy and paste
when I get connected.
