It has been a very quiet, enjoyable week in our temporary home
at Mary’s Lake Campground in Estes Park
We arrived last Sunday. . .
It snowed most of the day Monday. . .
but warmed right back up. . .
so Wednesday we trekked to downtown Estes Park
to check out all the tourist shops before the
summer crowds arrive around Memorial Day. . .
had a great burger with a great view. . .gotta be able to tell the folks in the
campground where the good eating places are. . .
Yesterday and today are training days with the Larimer County Staff. . .
learning all the ins and outs of being a Camp Host. . .
It’s sounding pretty great so far. . .
except for the Ranger’s scenarios of doom and gloom. . .LOL!
They were telling all these horror stories about what to do in out of control situations. . .but did admit that 98% of the folk are just here to have a great time. . .
and only need to be reminded about the basics. . .putting away food. . .
after all, we are in bear country. . .that sort of thing. . .
Here’s hoping for Happy Campers. . .
‘til next time!
I'll be very interested to see how your host position goes. I applied for a host position there last fall, but never heard back from them. :( Maybe they only take couples??
ReplyDeleteNo. . .there is a single lady in our class. . .think it just takes lots of follow up. . .I know they were still advertising 7 positions just recently. . .there are numerous campgrounds in the system. . .besides Estes Park. . .if you decide you want to head this direction, I can give you the contact #'s. . .
