Hi all.........We're back in Custer State Park, doing some work camping. After talking it over we decided to give it a try. We love this park and it's wildlife is amazing. The day before we got back here, the buffalo were in our campground, as we could see by their "calling cards" if you know what I mean. They were everywhere. We got all set up and talked with our manager today.
In exchange for working in the park for the resort, we get a free campsite with full hook ups, 3 meals a day, uniform shirts to wear, and a small wage. While we won't get rich, it's a great opportunity to meet new people our age who are doing the same thing. This is one of the few places that love retirees. The entire park is staffed by them. We also get to do any of the activities in the park for free, including trail rides, chuckwagon outings, and Jeep excursions. We also get a VIP pass to do any activities outside of the park in the
surrounding area.
We start on Monday, the 28th.........I will be working at the front desk of Game Lodge and Tony will be doing maintenance for Game Lodge..........wherever they need him. We will be here for two months, leaving on Oct. 1. At that time we'll head over to Yellowstone for a few days, then south to the Tetons for a few more. We'll have no time to waste by then as winter comes early to the mountains and we don't want to be caught up there . Our plan then is to head south thru Utah and probably be in Arizona for the winter. Of course, plans change and we try to be flexible, as circumstances dictate. But that's on the agenda for now. I'll blog again, after I get some new pictures of our goings on here. That's it for now........we'll see you down the road.
Love.......Kathie
