Yesterday, Wednesday, September 24, we truly experienced “nature” from two distinct perspectives. We began our day in the majesty of natural beauty at Ricketts Glen State Park and completed our day witnessing a wide array of human nature at the annual Bloomsburg Fair – talk about two extremes!

The reason we left Atlantic Oaks Campground a little earlier than originally planned was to attend Bill’s high school reunion. His classmates have been so diligent and successful in planning a reunion every five years and Bill has attended most of them! We arrived at the Allentown KOA in Pennsylvania on Friday, September 20 to … More …And We’re Living Here in Allentown – For a Few Days!

Just a quick post targeted to workampers and /or friends and followers who camp on a regular basis… One of the best things about camping – and workamping – is meeting fellow campers. Think about it – When you stay in a hotel do you ever meet your neighbors? I venture to guess not. Such … More Hasta la Vista, Amigos!

We certainly don’t feel like prisoners here at Atlantic Oaks Campground, but since Labor Day has come and gone, things are much calmer at the campground and we were granted three days off instead of our normal two! So, we jumped in the Jeep on Wednesday after work and headed to The Schreckendish House in … More Escape from the Cape!

The past 48 hours have been filled with the four words I chose to title this blog post – BBQ, bowling, baseball, and Boston! The terms may seem somewhat unrelated, but I assure you, together, they describe an absolute great experience on many different levels! Tuesday evening, a group of us that work together at … More BBQ, Bowling, Baseball and Boston!

Throughout the last decade, as Bill and I have been living the dream, he regularly states that from time to time on our days off from workamping we need to “get out of Dodge!” We have attempted to stay true to that sentiment, so this past week, we headed to Maine for a few days. … More Making More Maine Memories…

Although this title is somewhat out of my usual descriptive header collection, it became the mantra for the four adventurous days that we spent with Bill’s daughter, Cara and her husband Pete, as we shared Cape Cod! Arriving in the late afternoon on Wednesday, our first stop was the Pearl restaurant in Wellfleet for dinner. … More Well, That Didn’t Suck!

Thus far in our Cape Cod adventure, the weather has not been our friend on Thursdays and Fridays – our days off from work! This week was no exception as it continued to rain off and on, and temperatures struggled to reach 70 degrees. Did we despair? Absolutely not! So what did we do?… We … More “Some people feel the rain; others just get wet.” – Bob Marley

As Bill and I settle into Cape Cod, or any area in which we are workamping, we always try to take advantage of local festivities. Last evening we took advantage of Restaurant Week in Wellfleet, a neighboring town perhaps you oyster lovers might recognize. We chose to dine at The Bookstore, a restaurant on the … More Playing with the Pilgrims!

Today marks two weeks that we have been in Cape Cod at Atlantic Oaks Campground for our summer workamping experience. This is our second time working here and we’re often asked, “Why do you return to the same place?” Well, that’s easy – we like the people, we like the geographical area, and we enjoy … More So What Have We Done So Far?
