Palmer Point COE Park

This is going to be our new home until Labor Day.  We are volunteers for the Corps of Engineers here in Virginia.  There is a campground on the other side of the dam.  We stayed there 4 years ago.  However, this park is just a day use facility.  You can launch a boat, swim on the beach or just picnic.  Our job is to collect the $4.00 for each car that goes into the park.  Only one of us needs to be in the booth at any given time between the hours of 9am to 6pm, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  That’s a total of 27 hours.  Not bad!

    Hope you don't get too tuckered out walking to work.

    Since it is a COE Campground, I know it is awesome.

    Now that sounds like the perfect way to spend the summer. Where in VA is it?

    Whew, that's quite the work load. Somewhere between what you have and what we now have would be good. Anyhow, you do what you have to.
