We arrived here mid afternoon on Sunday and was sent to our new home.
It is nicely paved with many trees in a 49 site loop. The camp sites are close together and we were told that this loop was designed for groups who like to camp close to each other (IE: boy scouts).
There was one camper here when we arrived, but they left Monday. Another arrived after dark on Monday night and they left mid morning on Tuesday.
Monday, the assistant park manager came around and introduced himself and gave us a tour of the park introducing all of the staff that we happened to see during the tour.
Most of the park is on the lake except our loop. We are behind a subdivision but we are secluded. There is a stable at the entrance to our loop. It is a concession and offer horseback riding for a fee through trails in the park.
We attended a 7am morning meeting with all of the rangers (all paid personnel are rangers). We were welcomed and given an assignment for the day.
Brenda and I worked for 7 hours that day and I returned the next morning and worked 7 more hours.
The park has a new manager and this park has been in need of a 'manager' for several years. He is organizing the staff and giving assignments and trying to find and identify the state owned equipment.
Our insurance company does not offer non-owner liability insurance, so neither Brenda nor I can drive any of the state owned vehicles. We can operate a golf cart or a gator, but no trucks or cars.
Our insurance company and I feel this is a silly rule, as we should be covered in any vehicle we are given permission to use, but that is a state rule and no exceptions are allowed.
Tomorrow will start our full weekend here, and if the weather is nice we should have a full park Friday and Saturday.
Ta ta for now.
