2015 Camping Season

Have not posted in a while have had a lot going on. We try to update things soon. We will be headed to Janes Island State Park in March. I will be doing all the camp hosting duties Gwen is still having problems with her back. I am looking forward to to warmer weather and getting back in the motor home. We will be mostly here on the east coast this year as we are still dealing with 2 older parents that are not in good health. Just had to put my dad in nursing home. Hope to have a little better WIFI this year I am still working on that. See you on the road.

Back at Janes Island

We have been back at Janes Island  State Park for about a month but have not had a lot of time to post. Not  a lot new to report and due to the lack of WiFi have not uploaded pictures in a while hope it will be fixed soon. I did manage to get to go fishing with Stew on his time off. He got the only keeper a nice trout.

Assateague Island update

Things here at Assateague Island National Park are going great we are on our 3rd week as camp host. We still have not gotten any pictures of the now 4 month old pony but we have seen it just did not have the camera wirh us at the time. Hoping to get a shot of it before we leave for Janes Island State Park. There is no Wifi here on the island yet so will try to update by phone as much as possible.

Assateague Update

We have left Janes Island State Park and are now at Assateague Island National Park. We will try to update and add a few new pictures in the next few days.

Camping 2014

We will be camp hosting at Janes Island  State  Park  and Assateague Island State and Natiomal Parks this summer. We are looking foward to meeting up with some friends with have met over the last few years.

Janes Island update

Our first  week at Janes Island State Park has gone by fast.  The park was full for the holiday weekend but now things are back to normal. The weather has been great with nice cool nights and warm days. Things are starting to change in the park with big plans for a lot of improvements with a addition to the camp store, new parking lot, remodeled bath house and remodeled cabins. The park should have a new look next spring. We can not wait to see all the improvements.

We have had a great time this summer camp hosting at the different parks. Maybe by next sping Gwens back will be better and we can head alittle more west. But for now back to doing what I do best (nothing).

Back in Maryland

We made the trip back from Virginia yesterday and had a good day for the most part. The traffic was not all the bad and made the trip in a little under 3 hours. We are now back at Janes Island State Park for another month of camp hosting. There are a lot of things going on in town this weekend and lots of food to be had, hoping to have time to take a little of the fun in.  We will be busy with the holiday weekend coming up so may not get to update the site for a few days but will give it our best. Hoping to have time to get in a little fishing and crabbing this month, will see what happens. The Hot Spot is working a lot better than it did in Virginia, lots better signal. Camp WIFI sucks here it is satellite internet and it is slowwwwwwwwww. Got to get back to what I no best (doing nothing)!

Week 3 at Prince William Forest NP

We are coming to the end of week 3 here a Prince William Forest NP. We have not been that busy the last week because there have been no camper in our cabin camp. So we had have a lot of time to ride the fire roads and do a little hiking. I have also been doing a little work around the camp mostly painting the signs on the cabin and bath houses. We where able to take a little day trip to Skyline Drive and look around. We where hoping to see a black bear but did not get to see one on this trip. We will be having camper come back in this weekend so I spend the day today making sure the cabins where ready and getting things stocked up. Going to be a easy weekend campers only here for two days and there are only 4 of them in our cabin camp ( camp holds 150 people when full ).

We have been hearing reports of a black bear in the park and a lot of people have stated that they have seen signs of the bear but there has been no sighting of it yet. The park service is going to give us some trail cameras to put out so maybe we can a picture of it. There was a large Black Bear spotted in the park last year with two cubs, so we know they are around here some where. While we where in the back of camp today seeing it we could find and more signs of the bear Gwen spotted a Bobcat running in the woods, he was to fast for me to get a picture maybe next time. Hoping to get to walk a trail we found today that leads to a little lake not far from camp.

We will be leaving here to head back to Janes Island State Park on the 29th to host for the month of September and then we will be headed to Shad Landing State Park for the month of October. Hoping to get to do a little crabbing and fishing  and get back on my diet, I have been eating a little more than I should and might have gained a few pounds back so will have to work a little harder to take them back off. Life is a Bitch!
