We leave tomorrow for
Hurricane, will be staying there two weeks, deciding if we will work
for the winter and not next summer or take the winter off & work
summer, such hard decisions in our life. HA HA. We will miss
the people who have camped here as they have become our friends and
especially the 3 Rangers Steve, Joe & Chris, they will always be our
friends and we will never forget their care of us or the rest of the
staff here at the park. Sometimes it was hard work but the
good out weighed the bad, and I have already forgotten the long
nights people partied and Mike had to quiet them down, being the
park was full all of the time we can't complain as everyone had so
much fun. I will not forget the great pot lucks Joe but on nor
the wonderful friends we have made. We have been asked to come
back by the Rangers and the Campers whether we do or not "WE
HAD A GREAT TIME" THANK YOU ALL
August & Sept 2008
Sunset over the Lake
Wow already the end of our Camp
Host Job, we leave on the 30th to be at Western Horizon Park in
Hurricane (near St. George UT), on the 1st of Oct. When we
think about it the 4 & 1/2 months have gone by quickly. Mike
would love to stay here for the winter, thank goodness the park is
closing on the 4th. Joe put on a last time pot luck after
labor day, Mike was sick with a cold so couldn't make it, which was
ok everyone got to have more food that way. Joe has put on 3 pot
lucks where he cooks the meat and we bring the fixings, and the food
that was bought was finger lickin good, have some of the recipe's on
the recipe page.
The colors around the park
are changing,you guys in AZ who don't often see these colors here is
what fall is beginning to look like.
From Rockport State Park we
say goodbye, and head onto our next adventure.
We want to say a special
Thanks to all of the gals who worked the entrance station, Cheryl,
Chelsey, JoAnn and Marlene, they took care of us and made sure we
had a laugh a day, Bryon
who helped us every chance he could, to Leon and Marge who have
turned out to long life friends, and last but not least to the 3
Musketeers, Chris, Joe & Steve who made our job easy, we had a great
time and just MAYBE we will see
you next year.
Love Mike & Carol
Thought everyone should see
what exactly we do here at the park,
Cleaning tables
& pads
Gotta get those
grills, Mike gets the fire pits
Since it's the end
of the season no more Ajax will be
bought, Mike says
we will leave if he runs out, ha ha. Guess he will
just have to use his elbow grease.
We each
have our own golf carts, you can see which one of us has
the cleaning equipment.. He has the power wagon that can
go up hills and places the golf cart can't go, better
put, I won't go. He is trying to figure a way to take
the power wagon with us, I don't believe the rangers are
going along with the idea. When asked to come here we
where told we did not have to do sites, they would get
done on Friday and Monday's, we choose to do them so
they would always be clean when someone comes into the
park. It's really not that hard too do. I was able
to do them when Mike left for 3 days and Sunday's are
the worst as the park empties out so all 23 sites needed
to be done, of course that was the day Mike left.
I had fun doing them so no big deal.

We took a trip to Salt Lake on
Sunday to spend the night, we needed to pick up Michael at the
airport first thing Monday morning. Picked a hotel close to
the airport (about 10 min away). So we figured we would finally get
to go see the famous Mormon Temple. Asked for directions and
where told to take the 15 to 6 South then make a left about 3
streets down towards the temple. So off we went, should only
take about 20 min. to get there, as we are driving we pass lots of
exits including 600S, Mike and I look at each other and wonder if
they meant 600 instead of 6 oh well we will find 6, 40 min later we
know now that they had to have meant 600, we end taking an exit says
Welcome to Murray, IHOP is next light we need to eat and right
across the street is Costco. Great we can get some shopping
done there too.
We ask
the waiter where the Temple is and he says take 6 South off of 15,
ok guy we tried that could you tell us if by chance you mean 600S?
Oh yes, I forget we here in Utah drop the zero's sorry we forget
visitors don't know that.
We shop then head to Temple
Square. It is easy to get too when you know the exit, take the
15north and exit 600S, go down about 2 lights turn left and about 3
more lights on the right is the square. Parking the car on
Sunday was easy, we go to the Visitor Center and find out the Temple
is closed inside for visitors on Sunday, ok we can at least take
pictures on the outside.
On the way
home from Logan by way of the 80 to the 84 we finally got to stop
and see Devils Slide it in about mile post 109 going north on 80 It
is really a wonder of nature.
Michael and Kathy have now
moved to Sealy Lake Montana, we will miss seeing the kids especially
our granddaughter. We will be staying here in Rockport
till Oct. 1st then head on down to Nevada, I want to be in Vegas for
Christmas and New Years. Other then that we don't know where
we will be for the winter. We are thinking maybe Pahrump and then
Quartzite. One nice thing about being retired you only have to worry
about where to go next.
Hope everyone has a great
Labor Day and see you down the road.
