We made it through a 60 hour week - and our future plans

Heartland Campground
Campbellsville, KY

We think winter is here in Kentucky!

We have woken up to 20 degree temps,

and have been running our space heaters

and propane furnace quite a bit.

I wore jeans to work for the first time since we've been here!

After two weeks of  'hardening' (5 hours days),

I jumped in with both feet to a 60 hour week.

We were required to work 50 hours anyway, 

so what's one more day? :-)

I have to admit I was pretty tired about halfway through the week,

but last night I felt pretty good, and was proud that I was able to do it.

My feet are pretty sore, but I think I'll make it :-)

We've been seeing quite a lot of Christmas toys & gifts come

into the plant through the receiving line.

In addition to that, there are the normal things

that Amazon sells on its website,

including vitamins, rifle accessories,

cameras and lenses,

and lots of apparel.

This facility usually doesn't process apparel, 

but the Louisville facility is overwhelmed with it, 

so sent some down for us to help.

Matter of fact,

our facility has asked for volunteers to work at their facility.

They've offered a nice bonus to entice people to do it.

We thought about it, but to pick up stakes and move

to Indiana to campgrounds with no water,

a longer commute to work,

and a picking job,

just wasn't worth it to us to move.

We'll miss a lot of the workampers who've decided to go,

but we'll keep in touch on Facebook to see how it's going.

As I've mentioned here before,

after Amazon we are headed back to CA to work

at Coyote Valley RV resort.

We had been looking for our next job after leaving CA,

and had thought of somewhere in Texas possibly.

Last week I got a call from a gentleman at a campground in Montana

who is looking for a couple to help out there for the summer.

We talked to him about the job,

and researched the campground and area a bit.

The next day we called and accepted the job!

We're excited to work in a new state for us at..

Conestoga Camground in White Sulphur Springs.

The campground is approximately halfway between Yellowstone

and Glacier National Parks.

Our job will be 2 days per week,

George taking care of outside work,

and I'll help with office and their small store.

Since we'll have 5 days off per week

we can get a lot of exploring in!
