On the road again

Yesterday was our last day at Amazon.  Today we did some laundry and just started packing up.  Tomorrow we are on the road to hopefully warmer weather.  If all goes according to plan, we should be pulling in the Livingston on Christmas day. 

The RV park here has emptied fast.  Some shifts last day was last Friday so many left Saturday.  We have signed letters of intent to return next season and have reserved our spot here at the park.  Jeff and Beth have made the experience here easy by letting us receive mail here and by arranging for propane to be delivered.  They also gave us a potluck going away party!! Hopefully the weather will be better next year.

Amazon really appreciates the workampers and when we left we received many hugs from the workers who told us that this was the easiest peak season they have ever worked.  Each day we made goal we picked from a grab bag of lottery tickets or gift cards from local businesses.  At our exit meeting, we were told by all the managers how much they appreciated us and gave us bags of candy, cookies and goodies.  Amazon is looking to increase the workamper program next year to 1000 campers!! Anyone interested???

  2. Sure glad this one worked out so well for you. But I think it's just too physically challenging for these old bodies of ours. Sure will be glad to see you again in Yuma.

  3. Good for you, on your way. Looking forward to renewing our acquaintance.

    We would definitely be interested if they can take Canadians and if it doesn't mess with our taxes.

  4. I'm really glad you had a better experience this time. We hope to work there next September after our trip to Indiana and Ohio in August. Sounds like your RV park is the best one; hope we have a chance to get in there. -- Dianne
