A good time had by all?

I had another up and down week, golf cart breaks and then I fix it, then it goes to the shop. My Ereader got cracked on the screen, but I did get to meet alot of nice folks, on Saturday we had a wedding at the lake and the reception in the campground it was a very good service and many a tear was shed. I was invited to dinner with a nice family and after dinner we told jokes and stories and laughed alot, it was just what I needed at the time. I wandered over to the reception and met some wonderful people from all around the country, and after some celebrating, a triumphant trio took to the lake for some Midnight swimming. Then on sunday It started raining at about 6pm and did not quit until 2pm monday with everything soggy and wet the camp was in a somber mood, but soon sunny sunshine came out of hiding and made everyones day better. I hope the sun is shining on you and your smile is as wide as mine, have a great week and don't forget my birthday on the ninth. I love you all..

A Day in the Life of a Campground Host

I wish I could be one of those helpful bloggers that spread the message of Vandwelling and offers insight on how they live, but I am not that guy I am more just winging it out here. I will however give a glimpse of what I do as a campground host, daily. I wake up at about 6:30am, load up my golf cart with buckets and a shovel and do a quick round around the campground if no one disapeered in the middle of the night I check the restrooms and head back to the van.I make coffee using a merlita single cup drip coffee cone thingy

the only downside to this is the need for filters, but I reuse them about 3 times, I also use the boiling water to make soft boiled eggs for breakfast, soft boiled eggs are great, they are like over easy eggs but without grease and in their own little bowls, and they remind me of my dad he thought me how to make them however he called them 3 minute eggs but at this elevation it is more like 4 minutes then I grab my joe and drive over to the lake here I sit and let the Sun warm me up while I meditate and get centered for the day. At about 9 campers are stirring and moving out, as each moves out I clean the pit and area around the site, change reservation signs and check the fee tube. At around noon I go to the van and have an apple and meal shake for lunch. Around this time new reservations start arriving I check everyone in do a few more rounds and put on the show. Now it is 5pm so I go and make dinner I usally have pasta I perfer Ronzini Quick cook it cooks in about 3 minutes and taste good, I use a little olive oil and Italian seasoning, or I use small cans of tomato sauce and season to taste, ( I used to buy jarred sauce, but by make my own I cut the calories in half and get a better flavor as well as shelf life)
I then do all my paperwork, count the cash, and load firewood in my cart and do my last trip around. If someone needs wood I have it for them. The day ends about 8pm and I retire to the van to watch a movie or read. Thanks to all my readers I hope this was somewhat helpful.

A Whole New World

Well this week I had to move from my nice little campgrounds, to the biggest and most popular one. Its a good move in the fact that I can stay busy all the time and it is some 2000 feet higher and a little cooler, but there are so many campers and I am constantly stuck putting on the show and talking to people. My satellite tv doesn't work up there, so its still boring at wind down time, but I finished a book last night and will start one tonight. There is also alot of trails up here so I have something to do, with my birthday 2 weeks away it is starting to appear I will fail at my goal of having a date for my birthday oh well, really thinking about a trailer still a friend sent me a lead which is nice. The campground I am in is really kinda elitist ad people seem to mind the van I know fuck them but I also dont have privacy in my new site and need to shower somewhere. I hope they find someone to work this site so I can go back to my peaceful aloneness.  I wonder if drinking Utah beer wrecks my sobriety, I dont think so, but I also don't think it is worth the money just to clean out your kidneys. I hope everyone is good, I might be able leave earlier because of the change in elevation so I can visit a friend or 2 on to way to kansas. Hope you all are having a good time. Adios

sometimes roller coasters are fun

What a weird week. I got all my sites open finally and am starting to work full time, but I had a bad morning on Saturday and almost walked away. My boss upset me so I was feeling shitty, then as I return to my site, I have some campers come by and we have great conversation and they brought me dinner, Its things like that, that turn a bad day  around. Then the last 2 days the boss has started being cool with me again. I have also met some cavers, I gues there is an entire system that runs in the area near me, they decided I would go with them next time they go. So all in all everything is good, and times are fun.

There is no substitute for a good cobbler

Well, just got done at the pound, I am slowly starting to realize there is no substitute for miss Bella, so I left empty handed. And while fixing my shoe, a super glue tube exploded on me so my fingers are coated in glue as I type kinda cool, but also my foot is glued to my shoe. On the plus side I think I fixed it.

Just another tantric tuesday

I don't know, these are the three most valuable words in the English language, being able to admit you cannot do it by yourself.  I am thinking about selling out on my vandwelling brothers and sisters and adding a trailer to my collection. I'd really like to be able to stand up in my house and have refrigeration so maybe today's the day. here are both pros and cons to this, but I think the pros are better, plus if I need to go stealth 16-18 foot trailers have no real depreciation. Heading over to doggy death row today maybe I'll make a friend. things have been getting busy on the mountain, yay!!! I hope everyone is having a good time out there and if its too hot out there, I invite you to come and stay a week with me, I have enough room for 2 or 3 in my site, LM turner Logan canyon Utah. All are welcome.  Adios.

Teething at 30

Several things have been going on this week, first and foremost is I am getting a new tooth in.  Yea I know it sucks right? It seems when they pulled my last tooth they freed up what ever was blocking my wisdom tooth from growing in, so here I am teething at 30 with no whiskey for the gums. The campers have been overly nice, as you would expect, I got given 3 meals on Saturday, and 3 on Sunday. Which is nice and all, but I have not been use to eating, so even a bite of real food feels me up, but I can't say no and let food goto waste, So for the last couple days I have been stuffed beyond belief. I should not be complaining about this. So on HBO last night was any interesting program called Citizen USA, the documentaries purpose was to go to naturalization services in all 50 states at meet new Americans. In the interviews you gain a new outlook on America, alot people are glad to become American because of safety, religious, and romantic freedoms. All things alot of us take for granted, The voices of immigrants stating that they love the friendliness and openness of America is eye opening and welcome. I just want to say, be nice today, love your neighbors, whether they be pakistani, mexican, white trash, or even Irish. Wave to someone random and toss a smile. Remember our tolerance and acceptance makes us great and if we lose that we can and will fail.
