Now that our campground manager job is coming to an end for the season, we've had quite a few readers asking if we would do it again.
But first, we have to clarify once again that we are NOT camp hosts.
Coastline at Antalya, Turkiye.
Where are Kevin and Ruth now? Antalya, Turkiye.
Where are Kevin and Ruth going next? Paris, France on May 1st.

Fall is in the air
You can sure tell that Labour Day long weekend signals the end of summer.
We had four campsites occupied this past week. And this weekend, we've had seven.

Would you visit the Himba people?
The country of Namibia has 11 major distinct ethnic groups of people.
One of them is the Himba, a nomadic tribe of people who appear to have been forgotten by the rest of the world. Even though they say there are between 20,000 and 50,000 of these people living in the extreme isolation of the northwest corner of Namibia, they don't receive many visitors, and because of their nomadic existence they are somewhat difficult to find in the first place.

We booked a strange flight deal...
Yesterday was a day for deals, that's for sure. And we LOVE getting a deal.
We've been looking for the cheapest way to get to New York City, and something came up yesterday that we jumped on. Kinda strange though...because the destination was to Philadelphia!

Great day visiting with friends
Spent most of the day yesterday with our friends Doug and Nancy and his brother Dwayne and wife Agnes. Another one of our seasonal campers left yesterday, and then another couple of campers showed up towards the end of the day. You can sure tell that everybody is back at work and school!

Peace and quiet
Well, until our visitors showed up anyhow. Bunch of hooligans, keeping us up with their partying! Ha...just kidding.
Yesterday morning we took a canoe out. Nice to get a break for a change and we didn't see another boat out on the lake.

It's over!
Well, it's not quite over, but certainly the worst is over.
Our busy time here at the campground is the weekend, and long weekends are the busiest. Plus of course, they last three nights instead of two! But we survived this weekend just fine...and it was the last LONG weekend of the season.

August Expenses
Yeehaw! It's September, and that means we can say "We're outta here this month!" Not sure when, exactly. We were told at the beginning of the season that it would be between the 15th and the 30th. We're hoping it will be around the 20th.
August expenses came in exactly where we thought they would. A month ago, I had posted our July expenses at $1,052 and I predicted our August expenses would be about the same. August came in at $1,078.
