RV Days with Jessica and Harry - Amazon 2014 Financial Recap




From the site: RV Days with Jessica and Harry - Amazon 2014 Financial Recap

Location: Earlton, NY (High 88, Low 58) As I was going back through previous blog posts looking for posts to add to the two new categories on the sidebar, I was reminded that I never did the financial recap post I intended to do in January after we got our last check. So…better late than never, here it is… Last year we started at Amazon on August 26th. In all we had 17 weeks to work for peak 2014. We had a different kind of season last year, as we took advantage of a bonus offer and moved to Louisville, KY for the last four weeks. In KY we made $10/hr, and in Jeffersonville we made $10.75/hr. (They have now standardized the pay so that this year all campers will make the same no matter which fulfillment center you work in &nd ...Read more...

The Snowmads - Have Online Job, Will Travel: But Is It Worth It?




From the site: The Snowmads - Have Online Job, Will Travel: But Is It Worth It?

Confession time: we regularly ask ourselves if a nomadic lifestyle is worth it if we still have to work full-time. From the outside, a traveling lifestyle looks pretty darn carefree, even if you have a job as you roam. This belief is perpetuated by travel bloggers (ourselves included!) posting jealousy-inducing photos of themselves working near the beach, in swanky urban locations, at adorable coffee shops, and in other idyllic conditions. Work shouldn’t be nearly as stressful if you’re always in new, exciting, beautiful places, right? What we don’t post pictures of is an aspect that can be far less glamorous, and even downright miserable at the worst of times: staying online 30-40 hours a week while m ...Read more...

Winds of Destiny - RVLife - Brandywine Creek Campground - June 14 to July 15, 2015




From the site: Winds of Destiny - RVLife - Brandywine Creek Campground - June 14 to July 15, 2015

Rating: 3 on a scale of 5Location: This campground is located about 5 miles north of Downingtown, PA, on a back, winding, narrow road, Route 282 (aka Creek Road). It was the best option for us to accomplish all of the things we wanted to do while back home for the month. There are very few RV parks in this area (we checked out the KOA in Embreville, PA). It was a central location for visiting with family and friends and seeing our medical providers. The Brandywine Creek runs along the campground that provides for a very beautiful setting among the lush Pennsylvania forest. Lot Size: We had a back-in site (I thought we had a reserved a pull-through), but it was in a great location along the creek. We also had plenty of room for par ...Read more...

Geeky Explorers - Campground Notes: Royal View Campground




From the site: Geeky Explorers - Campground Notes: Royal View Campground

After spending some time near a city center in Santa Fe, it was time to be out in the country. I took some time searching for a campground that would be willing to give us a monthly rate and ended up splurging a bit on the site at Royal View Campground. For Class A RV’s … Continue reading Campground Notes: Royal View Campground → ...Read more...

The Greater Outdoors - Make the most of summer with these last-minute summer camping escapes




From the site: The Greater Outdoors - Make the most of summer with these last-minute summer camping escapes

There are a lot of great things about the summer months. Great weather, less responsibility, and longer days all make for one of the best times of the year. Unfortunately, and despite those longer days, the summer season always seems to absolutely fly by. That’s why it’s important to make the most out of the few precious months that we have to work with. The good news is that outdoor adventures don’t always require a ton of planning and preparation. In fact, some of the most memorable times spent camping and engaged in other outdoor recreational activities are the ones that come together at the drop of a hat or at a moment’s notice.

ultimatecampsite - Sitka – Juneau




From the site: ultimatecampsite - Sitka â€" Juneau

Getting to Sitka turned into a story all its own. Sitka was the capital of the 1800 Russian-American territory and the place where the transfer of power took place when Alaska was sold to the US. Therefore, it was rich with history and a place we wanted to see. Our original ferry from Ketchikan to Sitka was cancelled so we were rerouted all the way to the end of the Bellingham route at Skagway and then back to Sitka on the return trip of the ship to Bellingham, adding two more interesting days to our ferry ride at no cost. However, on the return leg the ship developed an engine maintenance issue and was held in Juneau for repair, one stop short of Sitka. The ship was fixed, but we missed the tides so we were going to be held in Juneau for ...Read more...

From the site: Danny&Shula Home page. - Goodbye Utah Hello Nevada

Few years ago we have spent 2 months in Utah ,hiking most of the National Parks and hardly missing and “Arch” ,so this year we concentrated on beautiful Utah Valley that we missed then. Yesterday we made a 200 Mile trip from Springville UT to Baker Nevada ,as we drove this deserted scenic road the scenery has changed from lashing green to desert colors and high mountains that have their own appeal, there were stretches of 80 Miles with no service what so ever and it is good to be prepared. Early afternoon we arrived to Boarder Inn Baker NV just 8 Miles from the entrance to Great Basin N.P that was our next place to visit. The Inn includes a gas station,casino,cabins,restaurant and a C.G, that night sitting out side with the des ...Read more...

Life In An RV | FTRVing.com - Buffalo Lodge Lake Review ND- A Diamond in the Rough




From the site: Life In An RV | FTRVing.com - Buffalo Lodge Lake Review ND- A Diamond in the Rough

Nestled quietly away in North Central North Dakota is a pleasant little Campground lying alongside Buffalo Lodge Lake. To get to Buffalo Lodge Lake make your way to Granville, ND, then proceed north on 12th Ave North for several miles, then turn right on 63rd St. 63rd St is a dirt road and will take you out to the lake where you will see a small sign for the campground which will be on your left. The entire campground is not more than 10 Acres but it is exceptional for several reasons. The campground is completely free, yes, free. There are no assigned spaces, there is simply a ten acre peninsula between two arms of the lake and a half dozen or so steel fire rings that campers move as they wish. There is a very reasonable 14 day limit on y ...Read more...
