First Workamping Job

(Pescadero, CA)  Hi 72  Lo  54   

OK, here is my update on my first workamping job. 

                                       Above is an example of the rv sites that are available.
                                         There are 4 different sections for rvs and 2 main grass
                                      areas for tent camping.

                                      The closest beach is 1/2 mile walk away.  Here you can see Pigeon
                                  Point Light House from the path. It first started in 1871 and is the
                                  tallest lighthouse on the West Coast.

Some of the trail to the beach is all sand

The beach is totally clean and almost no one

was there when I went for the walk.

Lots of little creatures among the rocks.

Sunset looking towards the ocean near the tent camping area

There is an organic garden that is used for growing 

items for the upscale restaurant

30k acres of State Parks surround the property and are

great for hiking and biking.

I am partly working security and here are some 

of the views I have when at work.

The horses arrived this weekend.

Here is my other job.  Working the kiosk for reservations

and check-ins.

Here is the Pine Tent BBQ that grills up great food and 

has drinks.  It is located near the bungalows.  

The hotel has a great hot tub.  The rooms are really

nice with large soaking tubs and fireplaces.

Taken during a drive up to Half Moon Bay.

This one was taken the next day going towards Davenport and 

Santa Cruz.  Lots of kite surfers along the coast too.

  

Costanoa KOA Campground

(Pescadero, CA)   Hi 63  LO 50

Just a quick blog to show where I am.  Here will be my

campground for the summer.  Just a half mile walk to the 

ocean and you can see it in the picture.

This is the road into the tent bungalows.  

Above is the organic garden.

I call this workampers row.  Under the eucalyptus trees 

are the stables.

Comfort Station with bathrooms, sauna, and fireplace.

Seascape Village circle which is the premium sites

with really nice ocean views.

More of the tent bungalows.  

Things accomplished

( Santa Barbara, CA)  Hi 68 Lo 52

In the last few weeks I have been trying to get things done.

I went down to the Mothership and got some paint bubbling fixed.

Its hard to see it in the top photo but it started down further and then 

it would crack.  

This photo shows the great job the factory did.

Spent a couple nights at the KOA across from the Fairplex.

It was really nice and green.

No complaints about this campground.

Got in the hot tub each night.  This first night there was 

no one else in the pool area.   On the second night there

were some others and I found 30 cents in the hot tub.

Getting a little practice in.

Decided to get this gadget and I have already

used it on someone else's  car.  Its a scanner diagnostic

tool code reader that helps with " Check Engine" light warnings.

I went down south and had Larry Wade install both an extra

propane connection for indoor heater 

and also outside for an extra portable propane tank.

These two items will help me to stay warm when I hit

Fernley NV later in the year. 

I just wanted to mention a new website. The RV Friend Network team has

developed an RV social network.  The address is RVillage.com 

Just like FB you can add as much  or as little of your info that you want.  It lets you 

see where others are and maybe who else in your campground may have 

the same interests.  You don't have to update your location if you don't want to.

I am leaving here in just over a week for my first workamping job.

Really looking forward to being at a new area and getting out

to do things.

Wrap Up of Quartzsite part 3 of 3

(Quartzsite, AZ) Hi 75  Lo 41

Almost every night you could see Japanese paper lanterns 

rising into the night sky.  They floated off through

the air.

Here is Katie and I.

Our first hike was to Palm Canyon Trail in Kofa Wildlife

Refuge.

You will see a sign that shows you the palm trees up high.

Coming down can be a bit tricky.

Thats me

The second hike was up Crystal Hill.  Some found what looked

like crystals.

Queen of the mountain.

At the entrance to an old mine.

Wanted to show my name plate on the Lazy Daze

My new SunPro windshield cover that I ordered

online.  It helps keep the sun out and helps against

heat and cold.

Here you can see what it looks like from inside

when the cover is on.
