Kevin, telling
about the way that got away. |
Prior to this event
Kevin who has the concession stand here at the park, put on an
evening of entertainment. Ranger Steve
and his fathers Detour Band, played Country, Bluegrass and
gospel we all had a great time and really enjoyed the sounds of
the band.
That's Steve playing the
ukulele with his father in the background
A large crowd turned out to
hear both bands including Mountain Mama's, just look at the view you see while
listening to the greats bands.
Mountain Mama's played
who were sensational
Here we are the camp
hosts enjoying ourselves
That's Bill & Emily,
they are down on the other side of the Dam, Leon and Marge are
at Cottonwood just as you enter the Park, Leon also does all
cleaning of every restroom on site and what a great job he does,
we have told him he is not allowed anytime off as the bathrooms
are just not the same when he is away. Below Leon & Marge
working
Here are just a few
pictures of Rockport State park more can be seen on the
State Park page
This is the site that
Bill and Emily take care and what a great job they are doing,
they are friendly wonderful people the kind you know will be
long time friends,
this area has picnic tables, fire pits and a river from the lake
to catch those Trout's.
I hope you can see the
Boat dock as it is large and every weekend is so full they are
tuning boats away at the gate.
Now what can be better
then this site, as Camp host we have it made, we work when we
need too and take time to enjoy the mountains, lake and areas
around. I have not been to too many State Parks but I have
to say of all the ones we have been too this will be my
favorite!
The Girls at the gate
have to be crazy to work here as they are so busy with the
entrance you would think you were at some kind of concert, with
as many camp sites to rent out and boats too let in
they are
going 24 7 and they keep there sense of humor, I could never do
their job they have offered to let us but we have kindly turned
them down. Cheryrl has a great personality and her
daughter Chelsey work great together at the gate
Marlene and Joanne also
work the gate here is Marlene, she is on the right in the blue
shirt,
Now Bryon really works his
you know what off, he is in charge of Maintenance and goes from
sunup to sunset there are is a lot to do to keep this State park
up to the good looks it has and making sure everything works.
Steve who is the head Ranger
had a great deal too
do over the 4th of July, the main water pump went out which
meant the well would run dry. Since the entire park relies on
the well we had to shut down water to all of the Camp Sites
except here at Juniper, but the showers did get turned off which
meant everyone who had a tent could not shower, boy were Mike
and I going, we kept telling everyone there is a Lake, of course
that did not go over too big. And poor Steve had everyone
all over the park telling him about the no water problem.
So come on down the water is on showers are working, ask him how
the showers are, you just might get an earful!
Here are our Rangers Joe &
Chris, Chris is the one who saw our resume, we sure are glad you
did we could not have asked for a better job for the summer.
I'll end this weeks
journal just by saying come on down to ROCKAPULCO
NO SHOES
NO SHIRTS NO PROBLEM
